Liberals Outraged Over Inaugural Preacher (Council on Foreign Relations' Pastor Rick Warren)
Post Date: 2008-12-17 23:30:14 by Rotara
10 Comments
President-elect Barack Obama triggered a liberal firestorm Wednesday with the announcement that noted evangelical minister Rick Warren would deliver an invocation at his inauguaration. The celebrity preacher at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif., who hosted an important forum on faith with Obama and John McCain during the presidential campaign, is a best-selling author who fills stadiums with his sermons. While liberal partisans were up in arms, some political analysts described the move as brilliant, a gesture not only to white social conservatives but an astute nod to the African-American and Latino communities, which are notably more conservative on religious and social issues ...

December 7, 1941 . . . a Day of Deceitby Robert B. StinnettThis week, as Americans remember those 2403 men, women, and children killed – and 1178 wounded – in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941, recently released government documents concerning that "surprise" raid compel us to revisit some troubling questions.At issue is American foreknowledge of Japanese military plans to attack Hawaii by a submarine and carrier force 59 years ago. There are two questions at the top of the foreknowledge list: (1) whether President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his top military chieftains provoked Japan into an "overt act of war" directed at Hawaii, ...

Attorney General Lisa Madigan had argued Blagojevich's legal and political troubles are keeping him from performing his duties. The Illinois Supreme Court has refused to hear a challenge to Gov. Rod Blagojevich's fitness to hold office. A spokesman said Wednesday that the court rejected the challenge without comment. Attorney General Lisa Madigan had argued Blagojevich's legal and political troubles are keeping him from performing his duties. She had argued they amount to a disability, so Blagojevich should have his authority removed temporarily. She expressed disappointment over the court's decision. "Because of Gov.

(CNSNews.com) – A coalition of conservative groups plan to present a petition of 330,000 names to the United Nations on Tuesday, calling for the member states to interpret the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as protecting the unborn from abortion and protecting the traditional family. The group was formed in response to efforts by pro-abortion groups International Planned Parenthood Federation and Marie Stopes International, which are calling for the right to abortion on declaration’s 60th anniversary. "We are proud not only to match but far surpass the efforts of pro-abortion groups," said Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute ...

Dec. 13 (Bloomberg) -- American International Group Inc., the insurer under fire for paying 168 executives not to quit after a government takeover, is giving retention awards to at least 2,000 more employees, according to a person familiar with the matter. The “retention bonus” equals as much as a year’s salary and recipients were ordered to keep the payment secret, said the person, who declined to be named because the plan was labeled confidential. Awards were offered to as much as 10 percent of staff at businesses that are for sale, including plane-leasing and insurance units in the U.S. and overseas, the person said. AIG said in September that 130 executives will get ...

40 minutes ago WASHINGTON – President-elect Barack Obama is refusing to answer any questions about the internal review he has ordered into Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's alleged efforts to sell his former Senate seat, saying he will do so when the examination is finished. Obama's staff has declined to respond to even basic questions, like who is conducting the probe, how long it will take, what issues are being explored and whether they are working with federal investigators. Obama has promised transparency throughout his service and to divulge contacts his staff has had with Blagojevich's office in the coming days. But his staff has locked down on inquiries in the ...

Bush Pardons Carly Simon’s Little Drug-Pusher

NEW YORK--A Brooklyn-born rapper by the name of John Forte had a business idea of sorts about eight years ago. It was one of those get-rich quickly schemes that, alas, work most of the time, hence the reason so many people are out of it most of the time. He flew to South America, bought a large amount of a liquid substance, stuffed it into an expensive briefcase, and flew into Newark airport with $1.4 million worth of liquid cocaine. He was obviously hoping to make ten or twenty times the amount once the haul was hardened by experts, cut up by more experts, and then sold to the small time dealers who would cut it up some more, mix it with laxatives, and eventually sell it to the suckers who ...

"One clear sign that America had better wake the fuck up is that there are still people out there pinning their hopes on a run by Paul and/or Palin. Ron Paul - who's older than McCain! - will be 76 in 2012. The only likelihood more remote than a Paul victory in '12 is if he runs again in 2020 as a still-functioning brain in a fish-tank, floating in spinal column fluid and communicating via electrical impulses. Palin is boneable. That sums up her entire c.v. and program for American renewal. Of course so long as the lights are still on, civil order is more-or-less maintained and - most importantly - the communications satellites are still beaming down AMERICAN IDOL and ...

Liberals voice concerns about Obama ( "Liberals are nervous" LOL !! )

Liberals are growing increasingly nervous – and some just flat-out angry – that President-elect Barack Obama seems to be stiffing them on Cabinet jobs and policy choices. Obama has reversed pledges to immediately repeal tax cuts for the wealthy and take on Big Oil. He’s hedged his call for a quick drawdown in Iraq. And he’s stocking his White House with anything but stalwarts of the left. Now some are shedding a reluctance to puncture the liberal euphoria at being rid of President George W. Bush to say, in effect, that the new boss looks like the old boss. “He has confirmed what our suspicions were by surrounding himself with a centrist to right cabinet. But we ...

George W. Bush hopes history will see him as a president who liberated millions of Iraqis and Afghans, who worked towards peace and who never sold his soul for political ends. "I'd like to be a president (known) as somebody who liberated 50 million people and helped achieve peace," Bush said in excerpts of a recent interview released by the White House Friday. "I would like to be a person remembered as a person who, first and foremost, did not sell his soul in order to accommodate the political process. I came to Washington with a set of values, and I'm leaving with the same set of values." He also said he wanted to be seen as a president who helped ...

5 things the war Cabinet says about Obama

President-elect Obama made official the worst-kept secret in Washington this morning: that his national security team will be headlined by a bitter political rival (Clinton) and a member of President Bush’s war cabinet (Gates). Beyond the obvious symbolism, however, Monday’s moves also offer some important evidence on the best-kept secret of the past two years: how will a President Obama actually govern in these troubled times? The parlor game of who gets what job is largely over, save a few of the less prestigious cabinet gigs. Here is what today’s announcement – combined with the unveiling of his top White House staff and economic team – tell us about the 44th ...

WASHINGTON -- Many of the Republicans emerging as potential members of the Obama administration have professional and ideological ties to Brent Scowcroft, a former national-security adviser turned public critic of the Bush White House.

Hitler HAD only got one ball

AN extraordinary account from a German army medic has finally confirmed what the world long suspected: Hitler only had one ball. War veteran Johan Jambor made the revelation to a priest in the 1960s, who wrote it down. The priest’s document has now come to light – 23 years after Johan’s death. The war tyrant’s medical condition has been mocked for years in a British song. The lyrics are: “Hitler has only got one ball, the other is in the Albert Hall. His mother, the dirty b****r, cut it off when he was small.’ Until now there has never been complete proof Hitler was monorchic – the medical term for having one testicle. But the document tells how Johan ...

But then there were these words, from Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator from South Carolina and John McCain's frequent traveling companion in the just-completed presidential campaign: "This is a wise choice by President-elect Obama." Graham, praising Emanuel for "great political skills," continued: I worked closely with him during the presidential debate negotiations which were completed in record time. When we hit a rough spot, he always looked for a path forward. I consider Rahm to be a friend and colleague. He's tough but fair. Honest, direct, and candid. These qualities will serve President-elect Obama well. Poster Comment:The Obama presidency - BACK ...

Conned Again By Paul Craig Roberts If the change President-elect Obama has promised includes a halt to America’s wars of aggression and an end to the rip-off of taxpayers by powerful financial interests, what explains Obama’s choice of foreign and economic policy advisors? Indeed, Obama’s selection of Rahm Israel Emanuel as White House chief of staff is a signal that change ended with Obama’s election. The only thing different about the new administration will be the faces. Rahm Israel Emanuel is a supporter of Bush’s invasion of Iraq. Emanuel rose to prominence in the Democratic Party as a result of his fundraising connections to AIPAC. A strong supporter of the ...

U.S. concedes Georgia attack attack in South Ossetia was a mistake

The U.S. State Department said Friday the Georgian attack in South Ossetia last August was a mistake, but that it did not justify Russia's large-scale intervention. The comments follow a critical newspaper assessment of the Tbilisi government's role in the crisis. In its most specific comments on the subject to date, the State Department says Georgian leaders made a mistake when they attacked the capital of breakaway South Ossetia, Tskhinvali, in August. But officials here say overall culpability for the war may never be known, and the focus now should be on getting Georgia, and especially Russia, to heed ceasefire obligations, and help return the region to stability.

President Obama Now it's our turn to hope. In politics, as one suspects in life, no good deed goes unpunished. John McCain staked everything on success in Iraq. He advocated the surge publicly and made the case for it privately. He defended it passionately and intelligently, and was indispensable in beating back critics, shoring up nervous supporters, and keeping enough public support for the surge so the Democratic party's repeated efforts to abort it failed. The surge worked. It worked better than even its proponents expected. The strategic and moral calamity of an American withdrawal in defeat from the central front in the war on Islamic jihadism was averted. The positive ...
