So, today we mock people for being upset?

Let me start by saying I am neither gay or a Jew, and yet I am still angered and disgusted with Obama for picking Rick Warren to do the invocation at his inauguration.

Mockery and simplification will not help that anger and disgust go away. In fact it makes it worse. When you mock someone for their opinion you are effectively suppressing them.

Is this what we are here for? To continue supporting Obama no matter what he does? Is that our mission? It looks to me that some folks are here to do just that regardless of the harm that his actions might bring.

It is just a freaking invocation! Rick Warren is an agent of tolerance! Why are you all whining!

Hey if I could not get married to the love of my life or could not have an abortion because it was illegal, I would be too fucking mad with Obama giving Rick Warren a platform to preach TOLERANCE at his inauguration!
