And respect our freedom of speech, our right to say the gay is his own victim of unnatural or abnormal sexual development - much like my neighbor's horny dog at a party.

They shove this down our throat, the homosexual mafia is allocates scenes in most movies, now they are 50% of future inaugurations.

This fad will have its place in history along with gladiators, cannibalism, genital mutilation, blood lettings, slavery, dust bowls, prohibition, inbreeding, fascism, communism, beastiality, pologamy, polyamory.

Show some respect for traditional families such as mine and some of your ancestors. Don’t be offended if I want to remove “A King and A King” from the nationally televised ceremony. We do not need to appease the abnormal 2.1% of our population.

What would we do in this world if it wasn't for religion? Possibly there would be less wars and arguments ... maybe, I don't know. Does God exist to be worshiped, keep us honest or to give us somewhere to go when we die?

You know, maybe we should let God judge what's acceptable in his church and not spend our time whining about who's giving a speech. I'm a Christian and frankly, I adore gay people, as I believe Jesus would have wanted me to.

What you should be concerned about are the corrupt and unfit nominations Barry O. is making to his cabinet. Gotta love the Treasury nominee Timothy Geithner who didn't pay Social Security and Medicare taxes!

Hey EjIMBo, If you are an atheist or agnostic politician and you come out and admit you are, it's over for you because the "Militant Christians" will be all over you. I've had people say to me on lots of occasions God this or God that and I tell them I'm an atheist. Then I was told I was going to hell and how stupid I was. I myself would like to know what God's office looks like and what planet does he live on. Just to let most of you guys in on a little secret ... most Catholics up north are atheist, too. They just go through the motions of the ceremonies and stuff for the same reasons most Baptist do it down here ... because it looks good.

I left the Episcopal Church when he was ordained a bishop. I thought he had retired and subsequently died. But, noooooooo.........

Really? obviously isn't aware the example he cites is .... a liberal. An Al gore-supporting liberal.

Seriously. You've got to do better than Fred Phelps as your example.

As a member of the Episcopal Church, I am well aware of Gene Robinson. He is, IMHO, just one in a long line of examples of why the mainline churches are dying. The churches are now more interested in being leaders of social change (read that Liberal change) than representing the Word of God. Robinson and his supporters are the prime cause of the current schism in the Episcopal Church.

That said, the real question is - how hard did Obama have to search to find a clergy member to placate the angry Gay community? And do you think he would have sought out Robinson if he didn't have to kowtow to this radical portion of his base?

Neal,
Your comment on this issues suggests that if one is concerned with morality that it somehow distracts them or detracts from their ability to be concerned about economic policy. If you will look around there are a lot more social conservatives fighting for economic freedom than there are libertarians. Do not misrepresent us.

I'm convinced that we are witnessing the Beginning of the end of our once great nation.

It's quite sad when the minority in our country can bully their agenda to the front. Nevermind the fact that more than 75% of the country professes to be Christian. Here we have a case where 2% (or less) of the population would have been offended because an outspoken Christian pastor was going to pray for our new President and the country. So, that 2% moans and cries and we give in to them. Why? So, we can be "fair"! I say "BULL!" and Get over this whole "hate" thing. It's not about hating anything or anybody. It's about a belief that's ingrained in all of us, humans and even animals alike. It's about what well over 75% of this nation believe to be wrong, by nature and by the laws of God, but are afraid to say it.

Are there more serious issues with Obama and the choices he's making for his cabinet, sure. But, this issue points to the root of what's wrong with this once great nation. We cannot continue to allow the minority to dictate the direction we will follow. Admittedly, the majority may not always be right, but there are more of them and there voices should be heard too.

Seriously. You must never listen to the show, otherwise you'd know that Neal has never had a problem with someone being gay, and is telling those that DO to get over it. I'll bet you didn't do too well on the reading comprehension part of the SAT's

most gays are not filled with the hate that is often displayed by militant Christians. see, that works both ways, doesn't it?

not filled with the hate that is often displayed by militant gays. I expect a few comments, but seriously - why would there be outrage that a leftist asks an openly gay bishop to conduct a prayer?

That's like getting mad at a frog for jumping.

Neal,

In terms of politics, Obama can appoint whomever he likes to give whatever speech he likes. I meanwhile can continue to object to Gene Robinson's occupation of the seat of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire. I do not do so out of hate, but because I earnestly desire the good in him. Part of the goodness which I long to see in him involves him repenting of his sinful behavior (as opposed to whatever his various inclinations are), and, failing to do that, to resign from his position. We all have our sins, secret and public, and we are bound in love to repent and desire the repentance of others. Because out of love, rather than hate, I desire the utmost good in others, I cannot "get over" the actions of Obama or Bp. Robinson.

Thank you, nevertheless, for your continued honesty and integrity on this show. :)

I have my own thoughts on the matter, but that's not my real point.

Isn't this essentially just another "present" vote? Hey Barack, at some point you're going to have to take a stand on some issue. When is that going to happen?
