TheCall is billed as an event centered on prayer and fasting, a place where you can wash away your sins with "nothing but the blood of Jesus."
But in the heat of mid-term election season, this weekend's event in Sacramento -- put on by Kansas City-based preacher and noted gay-hater Lou Engle -- is taking on a decidedly political feel.
The event is being used as a kick-off for a series of events, spearheaded by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, aimed at mobilizing the religious right.
TheCall Sacramento is expected to draw 50,000 people to California's capitol, where they will apparently pray for, among other things, a favorable outcome in the legal wrangling over the state's gay-marriage ban.

I appreciate the ability nowadays you have to say whatever you want, without any need to corroborate your information with "facts", "research", "sources", etc. Who needs any of those things when you have cheeky opinion, snarky wit, and the ability to commit outrageous logical fallacies in the name of intelligent, trendy points-of-view?
It must be because you spend your days writing to folks who simply laugh and agree with you versus actually thinking, discussing, and being rational. How very progressive of you.
