This is mutually beneficial for both Warren and Obama. Helps portray Obama as a centrist and helps Warren sell more books and make more $$$$.
Anyone who saw Rick Warren at Saddleback knows the guy is a solid conservative. I’d like to see him admonish Obama and all those tuned in on the issues of abortion, perversion, and the sin of envy.
He is on the global warming bandwagon. Can a conservative succeed in much of anything in CA?
Rick Warren will, I predict, become the new Billy Graham. He will be at every state function and have the ear of many more presidents. As was Graham, he will be seen as the safe and non-threatening choice for such duties. Sadly, he will also be no more effective in shaping the world of politics than was Billy.
I saw this guy on TV the other night. After all the hullabaloo I expected something truly outrageous, but he didn’t say anything unreasonable. Course who knows what he says when he isn’t being televised.
Just the fact that this is an issue is a victory for gay rights advocates. The fact that someone like Warren, a fairly moderate and apolitical figure is forced to defend himself, shows who has the upper hand in the culture wars. I don’t think that his selection would have been an issue even ten years ago.
I agree - the only thing about Rick Warren that sends them into a frenzy is that perverted sex issue. Men marrying men? Women marrying women? Who would have dreamed such a thing would ever be considered acceptable? The power of the drum beat of the anti-Christian forces, with the media trumpeting their cause.
The only reason it succeeds is that, as a population, we have allowed our foundation to be chipped away at - to the point that it no longer holds us up.
They ought to be used to bending over.
Dig deeper.... you will find that Warren voters are in large numbers Bama voters. There is nothing solid conservative about the Warren doctrine. The majority believe they are out of here before the 'trouble' begins.
Compared to Pope Benedict, Rick Warren is a light weight
Go back to Democrats Undergound where your ilk belongs. You are not welcome here unless you can behave yourself. This is not a good example of what is expected. But check, we may have a gay forum.

worth repeating!
Totally agree. Neighbors & some that are not religious agree & we all live approx 5 mi from his church. IMO he is Barry's useful idiot.
I wonder if Platte River Rick knows he is a tool of the left?
Rick Warren is a sellout to the church of Jesus Christ, and maybe this will wake him up to realize he hasn’t made ANY friends by pandering to both sides.
If I wasn't laughing so hard, I would say a lot more about that. Anyone who accepts homosexual marriage or civil unions, global warming, one world garbage, is no conservative. He is a fraud and more people discover that every day.
I see warren as just another is a looooooooooooong line of feel good chinese menu televangilists.
nothing more nothing less.
you could get the same amount of life affirmation by reading the “everthing I needed to know about life I learned on star trek” poster (original series not any of the PC new ones)
