Speaking Thursday morning at the National Prayer Breakfast, a conciliatory President Barack Obama urged attendees to bypass grievances in their efforts to push forward morally and socially responsible policy.
But at the same time, he made it clear that there are some positions that lie outside that realm of civil discourse: this includes birther conspiracies and the targeting of gays and lesbians.
"Civility also requires relearning how to disagree without being disagreeable," Obama declared before a standing-room-only crowd. "Civility is not a sign of weakness.
Now I am the first to confess I am not always right. Michelle will testify to that. But surely, you can question my policies without questioning my faith.
Or for that matter, my citizenship."
The National Prayer Breakfast is organized by the fundamentalist religious organization and
prominent D.C. institution, the Fellowship Foundation (a.k.a The
Family). This organization is headed by the Stealth Evangelist, Doug Coe, who funds the C Street Retreat for conservative politicians in Washington DC. Disgraced Sen. John Ensign and Gov. Mark Sanford of SC are both C-Street members.
