Like a dutiful dancing partner, Senator Barack Obama has begun courting the evangelical right, and some are already waltzing along in perfect time.
With his attendance at Rick Warren‘s church, Saddleback Valley Community, a mega-church in California for a large conference about AIDS, Obama has begun to align himself with an important base of voters to gain what conservatives lost this last year. Already lauded by some prominent evangelical publications for his outstanding "Christian faith" and a person Rick Warren called a "good friend" and a someone he'd like to work with on important issues, Obama is in perfect position, if he can keep the momentum, to use an unusual strategy for political gain.
Obama has become well-known not only for his charisma and sudden rise to fame in the last few months, but for his outspoken Christian faith to which he refers regularly.

Hear Rick Warren minimize their differences and then say "we don't minimize our differences" and also the Syria video which doesn't exist.
good post. I had never heard the 'land of the blind' quote before... it sounds like I've heard something close to that but not quite that way. It's a good one!
It's that old social gospel garbage. However Rick is adamant (has repeated in numerous appearances lately) that it isn't. Well then I guess it must be so, because Rick says so! Just like we all know he isn't egotistical/proud because he preaches against pride.
(Look at me, I reverse tithe, ain't I something? I even kept it quiet for so many years, just like Jesus said to. So ya have to believe me NOW...!)
I sent them this email a few minutes ago...

Rick Warren, pastor and leader of Saddleback Community
Church (located in Lake Forest) is speaking out in support of pro-partial birth abortion candidate Barak Obama (NARAL 100% rating, Planned Parenthood 100%).
An average Sunday has 20,000 attendees.
Any chance there's a few sign holders who could bring this to the attention of the congregation this Sunday?
Yours,

The comedy should be fun.
*shudder*
Kinda weird definition of "fun", I'd say you've got!
What I expect to happen is that long before even the primary races begin, this place is gonna shake like the New Madrid Fault on a bad day. Brace for the influx of party operatives and "hired hands", well-versed in the tactics of opposition-stomping. Anyone who veers off the official party line by even a millimeter will be set up and knocked down. I anticipate a wave of bannings the likes of which have never been seen before, once those pros jump in and start stirring the pot with expert precision.
It'll all be for naught, IMO. I expect B. Hussein Obama, the "man for all peoples" to be coronated.
"Don't be so judgemental!"
"Who are you to judge?"
"Judge not, lest ye be judged!"
"No one is perfect!"
"Stop being so negative and hyper-critical!"
(You heard it hear first. But you won't hear the last of it until B. Hussein Obama wins the election!)
Don "negative" Joe needeth yonder coffee...
The article said outspoken not outstanding. To the media, outspoken means that he actually says he is a Christian. They think it is acceptable because they know he is not a Billy Graham Christian, but rather a Billy Clinton Christian.
(Hint: That link is to the full article ref'd atop this thread. You need to read the whole thing.)
Face it: Christians were seduced into voting for Carter. Christians were seduced into voting for Clinton. Twice. Not all, but plenty. There's precedent.
Time to break out the references and brush up on propaganda techniques and logical fallacies. Learn to recognize when you're being lied to. Go in knowing it's bait, and that what they're after is an intemperate, emotional response.
I guess some do when it's dressed in sheep's clothing.
"Yeah, but..."
The "but" is that, realistically, there are going to be a lot of decent folks that are gonna be dropping like flies, easy prey to paid pros "who do this for a living."
these would be the same Evangelicals who supported Clinton... and there were enough of those... the thing is, Obama isn't even from the Bible belt...
A little leaven leavens the lump.
This is probably going to be an unpopular thing to say, but objectively the ones who are going to be best prepared to deal with them are probably going to be the evolutionists who've managed to survive the crevo wars.
LOL. Thanks a lot. :)
don't forget to read this...
LOL. Just make sure you're not drinking yonder coffee when reading some of Terriergal's posts who almost caused a big mess a minute ago.
It's pretty much a guarantee the MSM won't tell folks
Just like how the NOW Hags and NARL didn't say a peep about Bob Casey, Jr. and his so-called pro-life stance
Qatch out! He's come too soon and fast. Thanks to the media. First the media then the mega churches. That's the way to work it, publicity then the mega church coffers. SMART MOVE.
