Hmmph

Some progressives (which is what I call myself) aren't happy with some of President-Elect Obama's cabinet choices, who are either very centrist or even conservative. I'm okay with his cabinet choices but I'm not happy about his choice of Rick Warren to do the invocation at his inauguration.

For all his wishy-washy feel-good version of Christianity, Rick Warren still holds some very conservative social positions. Plus, he's a huge douchebag. Okay, maybe just a small douchebag. But he is one, and that's why I don't like this news.

Wouldn't it be fabulous to have a Presidential inauguration without a ridiculous religious invocation or benediction? That sounds so, oh what's the word?

Oh, yeah. Constitutional.

There's no wishy-washy feel-good version of Christianity. The wishy-washy feel-good part is just to hook 'em. Once they're reeled in and flailing at the bottom of the basket, Christianity comes along with the filleting knife.
