Rick Warren denies he’s “conspiring” to “rid the world of homosexuals”

Rick Warren’s missives reach over 140,000 pastors around the world and in early 2009 Warren gave the opening prayer at Barack Obama’s inauguration. But the “Purpose Driven” pastor has increasingly been dogged by controversy.
Mega-pastor Warren has just released a statement condemning pending legislation, before Uganda’s parliament, which critics have characterized as a “kill the gays” bill. Warren’s newly stated opposition to the bill is, of course, welcome. But Warren’s declaration contains blatant lies and statements that verge on the bizarre. Why does Rick Warren feel the need tell the world that he has not “conspired” with C. Peter Wagner (an under-publicized but powerful religious leader), or anyone, to “rid the world of homosexuals” ?
Warren’s statement presents a list of “Key Facts Concerning Recent Media and Blog Reports on Rick Warren’s Position on Uganda” which contains nine “questions,” written by Warren himself, with answers written by Rick Warren too. Question #9 is, “Are you and Peter Wagner attempting to rid the world of homosexuals?” Warren answers his own question: “Absolutely not.” But who has accused Warren of such an evil plan ?
Warren’s statement also contains several blatant lies. in one, he claims that C. Peter Wagner wasn’t his key advisor for Warren’s 1993 doctoral dissertation. But the abstract of Warren’s 350-plus page tome lists one academic figure, C. Peter Wagner, as Warren’s “mentor” for the dissertation.

The oligarchs openly talking about a coup d'état in America?
Multi-millionaire lobbyist Grover Norquist is calling for the impeachment of President Obama. In an interview with the right-wing National Journal - Norquist warned that if President Obama wins re-election and decides to let the Bush tax cuts for the top 2% expire at the end of the year - then Republicans will "have enough votes in the Senate in 2014 to impeach [him]."What does that mean? It means that the super rich in America - and their political operatives like Norquist in Washington, DC - have now compared a tiny tax increase on the wealthy to high crimes and treason - the only Constitutional basis Congress can use to impeach a President. It sounds like the oligarchs are now openly talking about a coup d'état in America.-Thom(Do you think will try it? Tell us here.) -

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
