Rock beats paper.

LOL.

But the rock cares not for the tree.
But BaRock cares not for the Constitution …

Rock.
Tree.
Rock and tree.
Rock and rock, tree and tree.
The tree looks upon the rock and wonders,
wither be rock?
But the rock cares not for the tree.

Rock beats paper.

And here I thought they couldn’t top Maya Angelou:

Rock.
Tree.
Rock and tree.
Rock and rock, tree and tree.
The tree looks upon the rock and wonders,
wither be rock?
But the rock cares not for the tree.

That is very arrogant and condensating.

If you have an inauguration poet then something is wrong.

What’s next, an inauguration interpretive dancer?

An inauguration TOTUS — complete with phonics and ebonics translations of that stupid Oath of something he needs to take to justify the party … ???

It turns out we’re circling around to where we should have been all along: with the understanding that religious liberty isn’t “toleration” and separation of church and state isn’t secularism.

We don’t have a natural right to pray at anyone’s inauguration. But when one is pressured out from a previous invitation because he is too “toxic” for simply mentioning once something universal in the Christian faith, we ought to see what we’re looking at: a state church.

This part of the article especially hit the mark:

“In fact, by the standards of this controversy, no Muslim imam or Orthodox Jewish rabbi alive can pray at a presidential inauguration. When it is now impossible for one who holds to the catholic Christian view of marriage and the gospel to pray at a public event, we now have a de facto established state church. Just as the pre-constitutional Anglican and congregational churches required a license to preach in order to exclude Baptists, the new state church requires a “license” of embracing sexual liberation in all its forms.”

Our current cultural (let’s just say “pop”) attitude towards Islam theology is to be one of reverence, awe, virtually prostrating ourselves at its feet, in the same way we’re supposed to feel about “single mothers”, “those on food stamps”, “illegal immigrants”, “minorities”, “the poor”, while our attitude towards Christian theology must be of something that’s “homophobic”, judgmental, clannish, bigoted, old-fashioned, and just plain wrong. A new state church indeed.
