The choice of Rick Warren was inspired, but surely he could have spared us this? The Yeshua of the Talmud is not the Messiah, but rather, if anything, a very naughty boy. The Isa of the Qur’an is neither divine, nor final, nor crucified.
And why not give the Holy Name of Jesus in every language spoken by America’s recent immigrants? The deference to Spanish is a deference to the force, largely an illegal force, that is destroying the jobs and eroding the voting power both of blue-collar whites and of blacks, Evangelical and Catholic alike (the latter far more observant and orthodox than prevails in Latin America), and English-speaking across the board.

Inspired?
ReplyDeleteI heard on Nick Ferrari this morning (and he was there) that many people turned their backs and booed as Warren was speaking.
It annoyed all the right people, who do not determine elections.
ReplyDeleteObama took the clear majority of the Catholic vote (it was a pity not to see a Catholic priest among the clergy with roles in yesterday's ceremony) and almost the total vote of the black church.
And he won the electoral votes on both Florida and California, both of which voted on the same day to re-affirm traditional marraige. Indeed, specifically religious-based support for traditional marriage is Obama's position as surely and as explicitly as as it is Warren's.
