Reality Check

A reader writes:

At the risk of sounding completely daft, I don't see the big deal about Rick Warren. I mean, here is a preacher who will give an invocation for a president who is in favor of repealing the DADT policy, the DOMA act, and wants to pass the Matthew Shepard Act. A president who is not in favor of a Marriage Protection Amendment to the Constitution, who believes that gay marriage is a state issue, opposed Proposition 8, and has indicated that that their administration will be completely gay friendly.

If there is anyone in this equation who should be uncomfortable about being at the inauguration, it should be Rick Warren.

Three words for the liberal Reagan: trust but verify.
