Comments on: Bishop Robinson To Deliver Invocation At Inaugural Kickoff http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/01/12/7985 News, analysis and fact-checking of anti-gay rhetoric Fri, 24 May 2013 02:17:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Gregory http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/2009/01/12/7985/comment-page-1#comment-30602 Gregory Wed, 14 Jan 2009 01:00:26 +0000 http://www.boxturtlebulletin.com/?p=7985#comment-30602 I think this is genuine in that it was chosen before Warren. Then again, I'm not exactly that opposed to Rick Warren delivering his portion. I think he is doing exactly what he promised while he was running: to end this disgusting partisan warfare and start to work towards realistic goals. Certainly, there have been things said by Warren that are dishonest and wrong, but I am sick and tired of the partisan diatribe. Can't we just be happy with what we did get?

However, having Gene is far better and fulfilling. Doesn't really clear up or address the issues with having Warren there to begin with, but I was expecting rock bottom to begin with. This saves a bit of the inauguration for me.

He is saying that they can use his church as a place of worship. What ever the reason I do not believe he can balance the 2 sides by making both a part of his inauguration. I do believe that there is always a reason in this day and age that a Politian does something so substantial. Congratulations to Rev. Gene Robinson!
