I reject all that crap out of hand.

I want him to do what he said. When Barney Frank was in the hot-seat about transgender rights in the Non=Discriminaton Act, Obama said things that gave proponents of these rights every reason to believe that he would stand up for these things. How am I being hysterical if I have trouble with perhaps the single most visible OPPONENT of those rights being to asked to break open the cermonial bottle of bubbly on Obama's much awaited Ship of State?

"But, Obama has always called for inclusion" yeah, I know. THAT'S why we are speaking up - because we are INCLUDED!
Where are all the unthinking and hysterical opponents to Warren that I'm hearing so much about. I think our reasoning is pretty damned sound.

But they will NOW and this may be the sort of pressure that someone who wants to maintain a public position and is tempted by moving into the mainstream (as he is poised to do) which can move Warren. As long as he's been preaching to the choir and thus not faced the sort of challenges he is going to be facing now (see above) he could get away with the sort of ignorance (chosen or accidental) which doesn't see the above types of stuff as "hate speech". Now it's going to be shoved in his face and if he wants that BIG pulpit (and no matter how spiritual he is, he WANTS IT, otherwise he wouldn't have gotten as far as he has) he's going to have to make some changes.

Dobson and his type changed their tune on "women in charge" when the Palin issue (and it's offer of power) came up, Warren will change his.

Obama is a great man, and know enough about Israel and the orthodox Jewish to back a seperate but equal solution to the gay problem. In Israel gays, straights, anyone can register for a domestic partnership. That's the law.

But real Jewish marriage is completely seperate. In fact Israel recently nullified thousands of marriages when it was discovered that liberal rabbis in American and England had "married" couples that were not even Jews. Sacha Baron Cohen, my favorite Orthodox Jewish performer went to great lengths to send his wife to Israel to be indoctrinated into real Jewish life and to make sure she was capable of real marriage.

Gay men must be accepted into society, but they will never be married according real Jewish law. Accept domestic partnership benefits, and leave real marriage to men like Sacha Baron Cohen. They understand what marriage is really all about.

Choosing Warren, especially won't help "restore the image of America around the world."

Will he close Guantanamo and end torture?
Will he achieve middle class tax cuts?
Will he achieve universal health care?
Will he end the war in Iraq?
Will he attempt to regain America's footing in science in research?
Will he restore the image of America around the world?
Will he get around to reversing the damages of the Patriot Act?

I just don't think about or care about who gets to offer an "invocation" for 90 seconds on January 20.

and yet, even an idiot can do the math
you have the chance to be merry because you weren't slaughtered by an abortionist.
that is a civil right we deny thousands every day in this nation.

What are 6 million compared to 32 million (and counting)
Hitler was a clumsy amateur compared to Planned Parenthood.

Give him a fucking chance. Let his decisions that have REAL LIFE implications, like policy decisions, legislative agenda, or court appointments be the fuel for your fire.

Is it time to reference the netiquette rule that whoever says Nazi or Hitler first, automatically loses? Sheesh.
