The majority of Americans do not support gay marriage, whether that is based on their religious beliefs or their beliefs that it would be detrimental culturally. These people deserve the right to have such beliefs, and the right to express them, regardless of the pitbull, in-your-face behavior of gays like those that would knock you to the ground for those beliefs. They’re given a pass for this terrorist like behavior in the name of dogma that they force upon others.

Rick Warren actually represents the majority thinking in this country. He is a good pastor, wrote a wonderful book and deserves respect. Obama has every right to have him at his inauguration and gives me hope that he might actually give credence to views that are today considered politically correct.

The best thing to do about the small group of people who are screaming and yelling about this is to ignore them.

Believe what you want to believe, but stay away from my right to believe what I want.

Anyone other than satan himself would have caused an outcry.

I just don’t get the controversy. Choosing Warren made perfect sense to me. When you consider every other pastor/reverend/priest of Obama’s acquaintance, with the requisite national prominence, is associated with some questionable behavior or other, who else is he going to choose?

Despite who gives the invocation, not one thing is going to change about what Obama is going to do or not do while serving as president.

Sorry, in my mind, there are bigger more critical things upon which we should be focused. This, at worst, is a tempest in a teapot. We, the defenders of conservatism, should be worried about more critical things, like nationalized health care and other crazy policies Obama and Congress are working to put in place.

Andrew Sullivan is emotionally unstable and, therefore, has an inability to fill the role he desperately wishes to fill: that of a thinker.

Even as he is right that upsetting gays — which amount to a ridiculous 3% of the population — is something no one should worry much about, he is also the sort that has gravitated toward insanity against those that have, in the past, so upset that tiny, meaningless minority!

The man is simply a buffoon.

… not that it’s wrong.
