Comments on: Warren and Obama: We Asked, Will They Answer? http://firedoglake.com/2008/12/19/warren-and-obama-we-asked-will-they-answer/ Firedoglake weblog Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:34:24 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: revday http://firedoglake.com/2008/12/19/warren-and-obama-we-asked-will-they-answer/#comment-1766827 revday Sat, 20 Dec 2008 03:36:00 +0000 http://firedoglake.com/2008/12/19/warren-and-obama-we-asked-will-they-answer/#comment-1766827 <p>Actually, research has shown that the some of the founders were connected to metaphysical groups. There is a real connection between the symbols on our money and the Free Masons, pagan groups, and of course the enlightenment. Research can be your friend. And remember, the constitution was established to prevent theocracy not support it. Our founders were pretty sick of the dogma and limits the divine king placed on them. Further, our own pledge of allegiance didn’t include God until the McCarthy era. Do you know what that was? It might be a mirror for you, or not. Blessings and Peace.</p> Actually, research has shown that the some of the founders were connected to metaphysical groups.

I beat my head against the wall trying to convince people this was what to expect. No one listened. They projected onto Obama what they chose to believe. I witnessed the beginning of his run for the nomination. I saw the Gospel Tour that kicked off his campaign. It featured ex-gays, anti-gays, right-wing activists as they toured churches throughout the South speaking of Obama’s shared views. This was not a fluke. As for Gays, I am gay. I listened as Biden stated the same policy toward gay rights and marriage as Sara Palin during the debate. They agreed to the nth degree. It was Obama who refused to be interviewed by the gay press. It was Obama who refused to be photographed with Gavin Newsome, mayor of San Francisco. He has stated that his views have not changed, people’s perception of his views were wrong. He is the Messiah so I guess I will just join the club. I give up. You guys try to figure him out</p> Some people were not paying attention.

Is this Rev. Warren going to have your ear, sir? Will he be a frequent and welcome visitor at our House? Will he fulfill the role of Billy Graham for you , sir?

And here I was, foolishly I guess, thinking we MIGHT be moving toward separation of church and state again.

I almost don’t think I’ll watch the inaugural. I feel thrown under the bus

leftdcin72 @ 19: as far as I am concerned, WJC is not a religion … yet .. so that’s a different topic for me anyway.

I am looking forward to Lowrey’s address!
