Title: "Barack Obama just came out in support of gay marriage."
Post by: Pandora on May 09, 2012, 03:35:34 PM
You knew this was coming. (http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2012/05/obama-continues-attacks-on-christian-church-throws-his-support-behind-gay-marriage-video/)

Apparently, some didn't.  Local radio "news" just reported "the President made a surprising revelation".  ::snort::

I think it's hilarious that he is now on record as repudiating the overwhelming majority of voters in North Carolina, that alleged swing-state that the Democrats have put front and center in their bid for 2012.

There was never any question that he was in full support of the radical homosexuals. He had to lie to get elected, and once in office, had to pander to queers to appease the radical base. He had no choice, thanks to Biden, and, at least partly, Jake Tapper's subsequent willingness to call Carney out on his ridiculous BS.

“I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together; when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that ‘don't ask, don't tell’ is gone, because they are not able to commit themselves in a marriage, at a certain point I've just concluded that for me personally it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same sex couples should be able to get married.”

He thinks that by highlighting homosexuals in the military he can reorient the perspective of "independents" and splainaway his two-faced position of the last 5 years.

Missed it, all y'all and it's one of the most egregious things he's EVER SAID:

THEY ARE NOT FIGHTING "ON HIS BEHALF"!

Furthermore, support for teh gayz is NOT why he came out on this today, it is to deflect attention from, and it's working like a charm, the fact that his party -- which is him and all he and they stand for -- took a thrashing yesterday.

*  Not one Republican needed to go to the polls to support Walker in Wisconsin, he was running unopposed in the primary, and yet the turnout for him was as great, or greater depending on who's counting, BOTH of the Democrats on the ballot, combined.

*  13 counties in WV voted for Duh Wun's Dem opponent in their primary -- a man currently in jail.

*  Joel Manchin, one of WV's Dem Senators, refuses to disclose whether he voted for the convict in jail or the one in the Oval Office.

*  Richard Lugar, Duh Wun's favorite Republican, was thoroughly trashed in favor of the TEA Party candidate in Indiana.

*  Bob Etheridge, D-NC, went down in flames as well, in favor of the Dem Lt. Governor, because the present Dem Governor declined to run again.

*  Contrary to what's being said now, Obama DID come out against the NC amendment affirming traditional marriage and it passed anyway, by a wide margin.

*   Obama was scheduled to "parachute" into NC yesterday and a couple/few days before, his trip was cancelled.  How bad do you think their internal polling was to have that result?

I may have missed an item here, nevertheless, taken in toto, nobody -- not Duh Wun, the Dems or the LSM -- wants this added up and discussed as the disaster for them that it is.

One good thing came of this, Obama had to admit to the support of gay marriage he's had all along, despite his verbal contortions which culminated in that ridiculous blather by Plugs and open giggling of the WH Press Corps.  The rat bastard has nowhere to hide now.  Brace yourself for the latest civil rights bullsh*ttery this campaign season.  Fits into their distraction stategy to a "T".

A certain oh-so-tolerant "lib" has conceded Duh Wun's new "position" on gay "marriage" is calculated, however the reason is given as thus:

No. Not even in a hypothetical scenario.

I think if they were within a light-year of honest they would acknowledge that they stood outside a homo bathhouse and solicited votes (among other things) and that is how they got that totally unrealistic skew.

Why? Because every time it comes down to a vote homo "marriage" fails by close to a 2-1 margin.

And the continuing troubling aspect - the one that I can't get the left to talk honestly about is the rampant nihilism that is driving the pro-homo agenda. The ones that claim that they don't care if queers get married show that they mostly don't care about much of anything else either. They certainly don't care about anything that involves any of our traditional values, customs, or culture.

What trips their wire is the perverse, the obscene, and the extreme. They are attracted to garish, loud, and offensive. In other words, they are junior high-schoolers.

Good for her.  You've taught her well.

It occurs to me that the positions taken by a lot of young men today are done so in order to curry favor with young women; their opinions are seen as superior because that's what both sexes have been taught by the "progressives" doing the teaching.

Women have traditionally been seen as keepers of the culture so, to the Left, the logical segment to undermine is women.  And it has worked too damn well.

Lots of guys will casually mouth off platitudes that they've been programmed to believe are female-compliant. The feminist Girl Nation has done much, through the Left's control of academia and pop culture, to convince young males that girls are universally liberal and if they are to have any luck with the fairer sex they must adopt such positions. They may not actually buy into it at all, but they will keep up appearances.

In your example these were just friends, but I think the same psychological dynamic is at play because they don't want it getting out into their perceived social circle that they're bigoted intolerant cavemen, blah blah blah.

The feminists, these self-appointed leaders of all things Woman, have done quite a number on the last two generations of men, by basically recasting all the most deeply ingrained male instincts as something that is necessarily predatory. Surveys now consistently show women being more unhappy and unfulfilled, and many men don't even bother with marriage anymore. The relationship between Man and Woman has been made dysfunctional, just another also-ran; advocacy for gay marriage follows right into that vacuum. All of it is part of a greater effort to dismantle the personal and familial bonds that form the backbone of a healthy Western society.

Ugh, here we go again!

The Obama administration “strongly objects” to provisions in a House defense authorization bill that would prohibit the use of military property for same-sex “marriage or marriage-like” ceremonies, and protect military chaplains from negative repercussions for refusing to act against their consciences, as, for example, in being ordered to perform a same-sex marriage ceremony.
