Rick Warren Derangement Syndrome Now Infecting Birth Certificate Troofers

I really could care less that Rick Warren is giving the invocation at Barack Obama's inauguration. When news first came out last week, the meltdown by the left was entirely predictable. After all, some people are never happy unless they're consumed with rage.

Now, however, we've got some Southern Baptist crackpot having a hissy fit and making ridiculous statements.

Southern Baptist Pastor Wiley Drake bashed Saddleback Church Pastor Rick Warren this week, saying "God will punish" Warren for agreeing to give the invocation at President-elect Barack Obama's inauguration next month.

"I pray He is kind to you in this punishment that is coming," Drake wrote in a widely-released e-mail. In it, the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park pastor criticizes Warren's "recent plan to invoke the presence of almighty God on this evil illegal alien," a reference to Obama.

Drake is--you guessed it--a birth certificate Troofer, a/k/a Nirthers.

Drake, who made last November's ballot as a vice-presidential candidate for the American Independent party, is a party to a lawsuit claiming Obama was born outside of the U.S., and is therefore ineligible to serve as president. Obama has a Hawaiian birth certificate, which Hawaiian officials have said is genuine.

As I noted, I really just don't care about Warren or Obama's inaugural. It's his party, let him have his fun. He could have Snoop Dogg give the invocation and it wouldn't bother me.

Move on, people. Get over it. As for this clown Drake, I suggest some psychiatric help is in order.
