He is an evangelical moderate who is over the divisiveness of abortion and gay marriage used by the religious right to gain power for themselves. I thought Jim Wallis would have been a good choice.

I mean the stuff that comes in little packets at Krogers, or whatever you have. It is, actually, a very safe and delicate dye for natural fibers. Sorry to hear that the other kind of Kool-Aid is still so prevalent. LOL, sometimes I’m very abstract but this time I’m being literal.

I remember when I attended the Unitarian Universalist church in the East Bay, Episcopal Bishop James Pike (anyone remember him?)spoke at our church on morality...described the Unitarians as a nice group of liberals who get together on Sunday. Of course, liberal then and "liberal" now maybe not the same. Some people seem to think that liberal and today's "progressive" are interchangeable. I still think I'm liberal in most ways but in today's definition who knows? tek: as in non-judgmental…

Priests, Rabbis and most organized protestant denominations are on the same page. Maybe the Messiah should give his own benediction. Oh wait. That won't work because he's on record that marriage is one man and one woman. I know...it's very inconvenient for his worshipers.

Are they serious? Who would that be, who the hell is left to bring together? My God. Do they really think that after the way they went after Palin, choosing this homophobic pudge ball will make up for the attacks on the religious right? Yikes, I hope the conservatives don't fall for this. So the new memo is that by picking Warren, he is bringing people together? Are they serious?

Obama plans ahead -- he planned to take Hillary out by using sexism (because it also comes easy to 0) -- and when 0 follows the demands of his backers and ignores the AA (males) -- these men are going to be angry.
