This Warren decision is not about an issue disagreement but rather about showing the country that a man who preaches against the humanity of of one group of people can still be respected by a "progressive" President. If he preached against jews, or racial minorities he would never have been asked to speak. Gays are not an "issue" we are people that deserve as much respect as all minorities.

I meant no harm or disrespect toward anyone. I thought I stated in the video that we have gay members in our religious organization and we have NEVER discriminated against them. We are all one in Christ.

Some good points were made, sir!

I shouldn't have stooped to his level with the insults. I'm just not yet where God wants me to be.

Did you do a video about Reverend Wright ? Wright is a racist left wing millitant America hating scam artist.......Fleecing his flock for millions. Warren has donated MILLIONS for the underpriveldged. Millions to Africa......What good has Wright done ? Wright has inflamed racial tensions. All for profit. No doubt white folk have been killed due to his preachings. Obama chose Warren for obvious reasons. Politics.

Shubael is nothing but a racist, low life, worthless, fudgepacking idiot who has nothing more to do in life than follow me video to video to comment on anything and everything I post. He doesn't have anything going for him. That's why he has so much time to follow me and other Rick Warren defenders around to harass them. What a total loser! Grow up and please do get a life!

"Anyone who would stand up against immorality is a HERO!"

Oh but Aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiize .. in Obama's victory speech he said "equality fo all Americans.. gay and straight".

Don't you hate him now?

Two faced bitch.

[Shubael1809]

Obama's a total sellout.

He's not generationally African American. He was raised by his white mother and white grandparents. And his white ancestors OWNED SLAVES.

You think that half-breed is your savior? Think again.

[Alize101586]

Thank you! It's all about working from the center like Obama said ;] Rick Warren is awesome in my eyes. Anyone who would stand up against immorality is a HERO!

You all are on crack - there is a strategic reason for choosing Rick Warren.

To understand the reason, first you must research what Hegelian Principle (synthesis thru anti-synthesis). It`s a way of manipulating society into accepting an agenda thru conflict (anti-synthesis), rubbing the opposing sides against each other till maximum pain is reached and then offer an agenda which creates "peace" that majority accepts(synthesis). Unfortunately the new agenda ultimately takes away freedoms.

I may have yelled in the video too much but I'm not saying every preacher needs to run for office. My only point is that political decisions affect our daily lives. We should at least be aware of what's going on around us and take a stand when necessary. Thank you for the dialogue.
