"While many Christians were celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ on Sunday, Barack Obama, his family, and everyone else attending St. John's Episcopal Church in Washington, D.C. received a message that included an attack on conservatives, the Weekly Standard reported.
"It drives me crazy when the captains of the religious right are always calling us back ... for blacks to be back in the back of the bus ... for women to be back in the kitchen ... for immigrants to be back on their side of the border," said Dr. Luis Leon."

This article demonstrates perfectly one thing that "drives me crazy". Not so long ago, the liberal argument in principle, was laughed to scorn by the vast majority of the American public. That same majority has not evolved in their opinions about American idealism, moral issues, rule of law, you know, the basic building blocks of what America is supposed to be.
Admittedly, liberals have learned how to work the system to use our own government against us. And, have won a number of legal victories in this land's courts. The concept of gay rights for example, has passed from being viewed by all, but a few dope smoking kooks, as an abstract idea, absurd on it's face. To in this day, being viewed as somehow magically viable, having been given undue and unearned credibility by activist judges, misguided state and federal lawmakers and TV pundits (mostly out in that la-la wasteland we call California) who have taken to constantly referring to 'gay rights' as if they are tangible among the unalienable rights listed and defined in the Declaration of Independence. Politics isn't magic, though Obama and corps may indicate otherwise. When only bozos run for local election, to some degree only bozos ascend through the ranks up into the federal arena. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Nancy Pelosi come to mind.
The liberal strategy includes some clever slight of hand as well. To illustrate, the US used what was referred to as an "islandhopping or leapfrogging" strategy against Japan in WWII. The idea was simply to bi-pass certain Japanese held islands and attack those that had superior military benefits for logistics and the like. In this way the US saved precious resources and manpower, choosing not slugging it out with dug in Jap forces who protected largely rocky and worthless outcroppings in the Pacific.
In the spirit of leapfrogging, liberals at some point just started to declare victory. Making fun of those who would not convert to the liberal viewpoint as relics of yesteryear, having been left behind by a society which was "moving forward". The leapfrog strategy works equally as well to describe one person or millions, as is evidenced by the lethal democrat attack on the republican party, or any prominent conservative spokesman. The liberals assign legions of staffers to pick apart every oral and written argument, statement and sentence no matter how insignificant and trifling and irrespective of the setting. As soon as some ridiculous charge can be trumped up, it is then shouted from the rooftops by the likes of say Harry Reid, when he lied through his teeth about Mitt Romney, saying he hadn't paid income tax in 10 years. An obvious retaliation by the left because Romney wouldn't be pushed into a corner, bullied into releasing 10 years worth of federal returns. Thus, ladies who deserve to be held up to our children as role models are mercilessly slammed and laughed to scorn. Sarah Palin and Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann come to mind.
Dr. Luis Leon is a good example of the liberal mindset. Here is a guy who makes his living supposedly ministering for God, slamming the right? Are you kidding me? Hoot has it just right, the masses of American voters are ignorant and uninformed. We've had it so easy for so long that reality has leapfrogged it's way past the lazy and the unconcerned party animals that make up the majority here in America. I fully expect Dr Leon to suffer some reproach. But, can we at least be honest about this? He said what he said to impress the Obama family and they will say privately that folks like Dr Leon are still being crucified by those intolerant right wingers who are obviously lagging way behind the progressive forward march of this country as they see it. The same sort of simple minded naivety is afoot with all this legislation we keep putting forward. If we can't enforce the laws already on the books, new ones aren't the answer, unless the underlying motive is to supersede existing law with more liberally palatable replacements.
