Why Rick Warren's Inaugural Invocation Will Anger Many Conservatives - Political Machine
Barack Obama's decision to have Rick Warren deliver the invocation at his inauguration will surely be greeted by many as the triumph of bipartisanship and post-partisan politics.
Predictably, this move is sure to anger some of Obama's base who might view having an Evangelical pro-Life Pastor play such a prominent role in Obama's inauguration as a slap in the face.
... But there is another group who is likely to view this move with suspicion: Traditional conservatives. (In fact, a quick perusal of the conservatives I'm following on Twitter confirms this.)...
...While this move will surely be applauded by the center, in one fell swoop, Obama and Warren have found a way to anger many on the left and on the right.
Anything that pisses off conservatives and fundies is OK by me. And I'll be hitting the mute button while throwing shoes at his graven image.
Catch you later.....
