New vid: Rick Warren is hateful and ignorant. Gays need maturity -- and just want multiple sexual partners
AMERICAblog News| A great nation deserves the truth — I watched a jaw-dropping interview with Barack Obama's invocation speaker. Seriously, I was dumbstruck. This is the guy who Barack Obama wants on the stage at his inauguration. When asked if he would change his views if he thought being gay was biological, Warren said no. And, he went on. He basically said gays just want multiple sexual partners. Oh, nd we're immature for not dealing with our impulses. ...

Warren: Gay people are immature.
Think Progress — Today, NBC’s Ann Curry aired a new portion of her recent interview with pastor Rick Warren, whom President-elect Obama selected to deliver the invocation at his inauguration. During the interview, Warren said that “it doesn’t matter” whether or not homosexuality is “part of your biology”; it’s still wrong. Attempting to explain himself, he compared accepting one’s homosexuality to being “naturally inclined to have sex with every beautiful woman I see.” Resisting homosexuality is about “maturity,” he concluded: CURRY: If science finds that this is biological, ...

Rick Warren vs. Ann Curry
Citizen Crain — December 19, 2008 Rick Warren vs. Ann Curry Posted by: Chris This Rick Warren interview with Ann Curry of the "Today" show is making the rounds as further proof the evangelical mega-church pastor is unfit to give the invocation at Barack Obama's inauguration: Let me be clear. Warren's viewpoint about the nature of sexual orientation, at least of the homosexual variety, is cramped and mean-spirited.  He has to "reign in" his desire to sleep with every beautiful woman he sees, and we have to "reign in" ever having at any point in our lives any romantic, loving, sexual relationship with the gender with which we are attracted to biologically.  How apples and oranges.  How unfair and how ...

David E's Fablog — by David E | (Visited 105 times) Follies Frank Rich, whose career began with this review of Stephen Sondheim’s great musical about the abject failuer of heterosexual marriage in post WWII America, has penned a most interesting New York Times op-ed : IN his first press conference after his re-election in 2004, President Bush memorably declared, “I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it.” We all know how that turned out. Barack Obama has little in common with George W. Bush, thank God, his obsessive workouts and message control notwithstanding. At a time when very few Americans feel very good about very much, ...
