From the DNC website (thanks to Steve):

Democratic Convention To Highlight Diverse Community Of Faith Leaders Working Toward Common Good

August 16, 2008

First-Ever Faith Caucus Meetings to be Held at Democratic Convention

Invocators and Benedictors to Include Pastor Joel Hunter, Rabbi David Saperstein, Sister Catherine Pinkerton, Reverend Cynthia Hale, Archbishop Demetrios, Cameron Strang

[...]

INTERFAITH GATHERING

The interfaith gathering will be held at 2:00 pm MT, Sunday, August 24 at the Wells Fargo Theater, inside the Colorado Convention Center in Denver.

Bishop Charles E. Blake, Presiding Prelate of the Church of God In Christ, Inc. and pastor at the West Angeles Church of God in Christ; Dr. Ingrid Mattson, President of the Islamic Society of North America; social activist Sister Helen Prejean and Rabbi Tzvi Weinreb, Executive Vice President of the Orthodox Union, will keynote the event. Musical selections will be performed by Grammy® award winning gospel artist Richard Smallwood & Vision, The Spirituals Project of Denver and The Trinity United Methodist Church Choir....

Ingrid Mattson is a Canadian convert to Islam and president of the Islamic Society of North America, which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case. ISNA was also named as a “friend” of the Muslim Brotherhood in the infamous May 1991 Brotherhood memorandum that spoke of Muslim organizations in the U.S. being dedicated to “a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands ... so that ... God’s religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions.”

Mattson herself has spoken out against Geert Wilder's Fitna in terms that could lead to free speech restrictions.

Par for the course...

What do you expect? They call William Ayers "respectable, mainstream".

Anyone who knows of military blogs might send this on. Reason - there were news reports of heavy military donations to Obama.

True. They’d probably led Hugo Chavez speak at the DNC if he was invited.

Its what the 'rats do..

..cats catch squirrels..

...'rats do traitorous things..

..it is in their dna....they can't help it..

...which is troubling and embarassing that any 'rat could be a serious contender for POTUS...or any other elected position for that matter.

A little surprised at Dr. Hunter speaking at the DNC. His 12,000 member evangelical church in FL is growing and he's written a few books including A New Kind of Conservative

If previous msg went through, pls disregard.
Someone who knows about military blogs should post “Leader of Muslim Brotherhood-linked group to speak at Democratic National Convention”. Heard on news that military was donating heavily to Obama. That’s what you get for your money.

This report has bothered me, I find it hard to credit, but I've seen nothing to counter it. I have lots of family and friends serving in Iraq or Kosovo, and not one of them supports Obama. I know that's only my anecdotal evidence, but it just doesn't seem possible. There must be more to the story, I wish I knew where to look for it.

You know we should “arrest” any traitors to our country. Is it not written in the Constitution that we (as citizens) should defend our country from traitors? Not just “should” but we are directed to do so. I am not speaking of government controlled police but “we the people”. How much more? How long before we actually physically do something? I am not learned enough to lead a unified effort but BY GOD (no disrespect to my creator intended) I am motivated and willing and trained to participate!

::::::::
What is really tragic is that the state of affairs in this country has deteriorated to this level, that people need to be concerned about traitors, communists and many other anti-American forces at work and living under the protection of our Constitution and our military, whom they hate.

It is now “popular” to be a Marxist, a Communist, an America-hater, a military hater, and anything but a supporter of our beloved Constitution and our Republic. That is the great tragedy.

“What is really tragic is that the state of affairs in this country has deteriorated to this level...”

So true. I believe it can all be traced back to our acceptance of any immoral unnatural and unGodly as nothing more than a harmless different point of view.
I still believe we can weed these things out through boycotts and petitions etc. If and when it does come down to another revolution and the Lord tarries if you will. Then another chapter will have been written in our great history and i know that i know that right will prevail!

Well that is my patriotic rant for the day.
Who am i kidding I will be right back on here geared up for another response. Sometimes it does help to “preach to the choir” only because the congregation (rest of America) is deaf!

I thought it was shocking also. Thought perhaps it was because of his much-publicized withdraw from Iraq policy. I’d want to go home also especially when its 120 degrees in the shade and blinding dust.

That would be a point, except (once again, only going by my completely anecdotal evidence from family and friends), all those I talked to serving over there want to finish the job and abhor the thought of coming home in defeat, after all the blood, sweat, and tears expended already in the task. My brother, nephews, etc, served in those conditions-the heat, the violence and risk to life and limb (and have seen the reality of those things, to their friends and comrades), and they don't want another Vietnam, throwing in the towel after we've come this far. That just negates all the hardship already endured. So I wonder, are the people I know anomalies, is this report not telling the whole truth, or what?
