What Obama's shift from Jeremiah Wright to Rick Warren might mean

[Critters2]

An interesting read. Obama shifts from a social gospel to a private faith.

2. how totally dishonest. Warren isn't Obama's personal spiritual advisor. Wright was.

4. Rev. Wright is pro-choice & pro civil union & the MSM ran him away.

7. Pro-civil-union meaning anti-gay-marriage?

8. Not necessarily. But in practical terms, that is often what it means.

Trying to throw that certain 10% of the population a bone that will hopefully appease them (but ultimately won't, and shouldn't), while at the same time avoiding the full brunt of the "traditionalists"' wrath.

Of course, the actual result is that "civil unions," to a large extent, satisfy no one and piss everyone off, which is why I think one should either advocate for full marriage rights, or simply keep silent.

5. The reactionary bigotry of Warren's ilk is bad enough

Please don't tell me Obama will embrace his individualistic Prosperity Gospel. :(

6. Which seems to consist of already "prosperous" people being entitled to more "prosperity."

Did I get that right?
