On Rick Warren and the Pope

Take a visit on over at Rowland’s site, “By Any Means Necessary,” to read one of the best postings on Rick Warren. Rowland’s post “No Bigots At The Inauguration,” begins, “I really hate to say “I told you so,” often because it seems to relate to something that is not so positive, but, unfortunately, this seems to be another case of “I told you so.” Despite the illusions of some people on the “left” about him, this past week President-elect Barack Obama has continued down the path he has cut that demonstrates his ultimate faithfulness to the politics of the ruling-class in the United States. He has done this with every single one of his post-election decisions, beginning with his choice of cabinet officials and now continuing with his announcement that the right-wing evangelical pastor Rick Warren will be his choice for delivering the invocation at the presidential inauguration ceremony on Jan. 20, 2009.”  The full posting can be read by clicking HERE.

Another posting follows.

Also posted on the site is a piece about the pope titled “God of small things.” We have posted Rowland’s last paragraph here as it really says it,

“We must show this old dog and his ilk that we will not stand for this sort of religiously based crap any more. For too long reactionary religion has held humanity back, and it time we moved forward. This is a call for both secular progressives and revolutionaries, as well as religious ones to oppose hateful and reactionary rhetoric by this supposed man of god. If you, like me, would like to add your voice to the chorus that is already speaking out against the Pope, you may do so by sending him a letter at this address.” To read the full piece click HERE.

As always a thank you to Rowland for your postings. People, for some good revolutionary reading check out more of the site “By Any Means Necessary” at www.bermudaradical.blogspot.com.
