Gay Marriage Thorny Issue for Obama

[deacon blues]

Yesterday North Carolina strongly approved a state constitutional amendment affirming marriage recognized by the state as one man and one woman. In so doing the effort to promote gay marriage as a legally recognized union in North Carolina has been given a death blow. In fact in every state that gay marriages have been recognized as legal, the legality only came I to effect by activist judges overturning majorities of voters affirming traditional marriage or banning gay marriage.

This is a thorny issue for our president who is on record as saying he is opposed to gay marriage and in favor of traditional marriage. Recently he has stated he is "evolving" on the issue. Evidently the president is trying to give the liberal community in favor of gay marriage a ray of hope that after November he might be willing to evolve completely and morph into a whole different president on the issue once he has nothing to lose. Now why would the president, an unabashed liberal, try to tip toe on such a popular issue with his liberal supporters and donors? Hollywood is a big money source for Obama and also one of the biggest proponents of the gay agenda. Northeast liberals are also big supporters of the gay agenda and are big donors as well. And of course, the gay community os overwhelmingly supportive of the president. They are also big donors to his campaign. So what's the reluctance? Well another big constituency of the President is the African-American community and polls show that they are adamantly against gay marriage and the gay agenda as a voting bloc.

So it's a thorny issue for the White House. They send VP Biden out to lend support to the issue. But when Jay Carney, WH Press Secy, is pressed on the issue, he obfuscates.

Then there's the whole issue of the DNC hosting their convention this summer in North Carolina. It's a thorny issue. And North Carolina's solid support for traditional marriage in a state that the Democrats were hoping to win in November is another ominous sign for the president's reelection campaign come November...

Has spoken: http://gma.yahoo.com/obama-announces...-marriage.html


President Obama today announced that he now supports same-sex marriage, reversing his longstanding opposition amid growing pressure from the Democratic base and even his own vice president.
In an interview with ABC News’ Robin Roberts, the president described his thought process as an “evolution” that led him to this place, based on conversations with his own staff members, openly gay and lesbian service members, and conversations with his wife and own daughters.

He fishing for gay money to support his campaign.

Isa 5:18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
Isa 5:19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
Isa 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa 5:21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Isa 5:22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Isa 5:23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
Isa 5:24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

Yep

[Pressing-On]

Massachusetts was the first U.S. state to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. (May 17, 2004) Who was governor in 2004? Oh that's right, it was Mitt.

Who are our choices again - Obama or ORomney? Just sayin'....

Obama:


"In the end the values that I care most deeply about and she cares most deeply about is how we treat other people," he said. "We are both practicing Christians and obviously this position may be considered to put us at odds with the views of others but, you know, when we think about our faith, the thing at root that we think about is, not only Christ sacrificing Himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule - treat others the way you would want to be treated. And I think that's what we try to impart to our kids and that's what motivates me as president, and I figure the most consistent I can be in being true to those precepts, the better I'll be as a dad and a husband and hopefully the better I'll be as president."

A few questions here.

1. Will Roscoe overturn Obamacare?
2. Will Roscoe strengthen 2nd amendment rights?
3. Will Roscoe eat regular can dogfood or will he require ground filet mignon?
4. Will Roscoe board United Airlines or AirForce 1?
5. Since Roscoe stands a chance of being commader in chief...how will he deal with al quieda and the wars?
6. What is Roscoe's stance on illegal immigration?
7. Will Roscoe vomit in the Japanese Emperor's lap?
8. How will Roscoe deal with the sluggish/depression economy?
