President Obama’s Inauguration was presided over by Rick Warren, well known for his belief that women are second class citizens put on the earth to serve their husbands. The New Agenda issued a press release also noting that Warren encouraged battered wives to stay in their abusive relationships. Hundreds of viewers wrote to our blog about their personal experiences at the hand of Rick Warren and his church – treating women like objects under the control of their husbands. If only they could make a better meal, keep their home cleaner, or be a better wife – then they wouldn’t “deserve” the beating that their husbands gave them.
Warren is back in the news this past weekend for his ties with a Ugandan pastor who is helping to spearhead legislation which, if enacted, would result in the execution of HIV-positive gay men. Would Warren condemn this killing? NO.
Larry Summers, Obama’s pick for Director of the National Economic Council, also made news this Sunday. Putting Summers into this role was Obama’s end around strategy after women’s group such as The New Agenda spoke out when Obama contemplated appointing Summers to Treasury Secretary, a post that would require senate confirmation. Director of the NEC did not require senate confirmation so Summers was able to skate in despite his comments while at Harvard that girls are genetically inferior to boys in math and science.
This past Sunday, a Boston Globe article cited that Summers ignored warnings about investments while at Harvard, costing the University’s endowment $1.8 billion. This should hardly be a surprise to anyone. The New Agenda has been speaking out about Summers inability to work with others – especially women – for over a year now.
Wow, the Warren thing is amazing. This is the guy that wrote A Purpose-Driven Life.
Wonder if one of those includes killing gays. You'd think Barry would not be friends with someone like that! No, wait, he had his gay lover, Donald Young, killed.
And we see how smart Summers is now. Sheesh. Wonder if Harvard will miss that $1.8 billion?
The world is way different than I thought it was.
