President to leave First Lady

That's the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from this belated announcement:
It was a long time coming: President Obama spoke out today in favor of marriage equality. “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 said in an interview with ABC News.
Considering what an absolute vote loser this issue is, proven by the fact that 30 states have passed anti-homogamy laws and amendments now, one can only wonder exactly how personally important it is to Obama. It's rather remarkable, as Obama appears to be making a stronger effort to throw the election than John McCain did, and it's only May. At this rate, he'll be wearing women's clothing, eating dogs, and openly calling for human sacrifice by September.

I don't think it's a personal issue in as much as it's a calculated political move to "energize" a very well to do leftist base. This is shaping up to be a very tight race and the Kenyan Keynesian needs every vote from 2008 to show up at the polls this fall. Whether or not coming out for Adam and Steve is smart remains to be seen but I can't see how gathering up the Zombie Coalition is going to hurt him at this point.

You really think Barry will lose one single vote over this announcement? Those who love him, support fag marriage anyway, and if they don't, they're most likely black - very unlikely to turn against him because of this. And for those who hate him, he's either given them one more reason to hate him, or they're going to keep hating him for the reasons they already hate him.

At least 61% of the people in North Carolina told the fags they will NOT be playing house in their state. Hahahaha! It flies in the face of the delusional liberals who insist their twisted views are shared by the majority.

Finally being cleared of any wrong doing by PETA after eating the dog that bit him because it was homophobic & violent. Subsequently PETA starts a national campaign to re-educate homophobic dogs raised by homophobs. Big O then goes on to be the poster child of UN approved policy of eating homophobic dogs, spider monkeys and barnyard feathered "friends". The UN policy included a very successful program of transgendered animals as neutering and spaying was found to be cruel. "Friend" the animals and eat them if they turn out to be homophobs.

Hmmmm, and why would that be? There is a purpose behind the grand push to make 'gay marriage' the law of the land. This purpose has nothing whatever to do with poofters being able to poofter away with their partners or any of the other numerous stated reasons having to do the "fairness" and "equality". They are going to make every 501c(3) church in the Banksta Banana Republick perform such ceremonies. Look at what has already gone down with Obamacare and contraception coverage. As I stated on a thread long, long ago, Pastor Rick will end up performing the ceremony on the altar of Saddleback "Church", just as Cardinal Dolan will before the altar of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC. There is a purpose and a plan for the whole campaign.

I don't profess to know their mentality but given that they largely regard the church as the primary source of opposition to their deviancy, I'd guess that having their "marriage" performed in the sacred place where normal people take their wedding vows is the ultimate victory for them, a middle finger on a limp wrist extended towards society.

Actually people who vote right now, vote against gay marriage. The belief based on demographics and polling is that this very short lived situation.

When polled widely, gay marriage is slightly above break even when you don't adjust for registered voters / actual voters. If Pres. Obama cna get the same level of first-time voter support he got in 2008, this may be an important factor.

It is about obtaining the imprimatur of government approval for their deviant behavior in the hope that such official approval will: a) increase public approval/acceptance; b) allow various forms of access to the government welfare/redistribution trough; and c) give them the means to use the judicial system to force acceptance of their deviancy and for use as an alternate means of getting their hands on other people's money.

That all may be true enough, but the underlying motivation is that they think that enough outside voices telling them they are normal will silence the voice of conscience within that tells them they are not. Since no amount of social or government endorsement will ever do that they will always demand more, no matter what they are given.

@Strange Aeons
Some gay/lesbian celebrity might try that, but the right to marry before civil authorities, never implied the right of marrying in a specific church, so they will fail.

The mentality of most homosexual is however very different, they are shyer than average. Many are still in the closet and most are afraid of being rejected for what they are. Like most people who have been and still are persecuted, they are very careful about not giving insult. If same-sex couples want to marry in a church, it will be because they are religious, and they will do it in a church that accepts them, because they don't have a choice, a wedding is complicated enough to plan anyway. Making themselves a target for hate is not what anybody wants to do on their wedding day. The best revenge is a happy life. Most of the political fight LGBT activists engage in are to gain acceptance! Judging homosexual by their celebrities is like accepting P.Hilton or T.Woods as the prototypical heterosexuals.

To be clear, I support the right of religions to refuse any marriages according to any criterion or on a simple whim. This is one more instance were the separation between church and states protects the church as well as allows the state to not be unduly influenced.

I agree with you that the left might not stop. But life is too short to fight them in the area where they are not clearly wrong. Even purely strategically, I think this is a lost cause in the long term. Homosexuals are inexorably gaining acceptance, there is no winning against 5% of the population who are well organised and conscious of themselves as a political group. The statistics also show that they are steadily gaining acceptance. In the US, they are gaining acceptance among liberals but not losing it among conservatives. I interpret that as the superposition of a trend toward acceptance (more visible in other countries) and a left-right polarisation.

You gotta be more subtle with your concern trolling. The "resistance is futile, you will be assimilated" MO is way too obvious.

If same-sex couples want to marry in a church, it will be because they are religious,

I wasn't aware God recognized S/S marriages.

@cherub's revenge
Did I at any point misrepresent myself as a religious conservative? By defending the rights of homosexuals and critiquing the tax exempt status of churches? My name could have tipped you off that I am some kind of libertarian.

If a concern troll is someone who argues a position opposite with the one of most of the people in the forum fine. Otherwise, it just doesn't apply. I often argue ad hominem, but without using ideas that I do not agree with.

This is actually great for the legal community. Given the average low future time preference of homosexuals quick marriages/divorces will be commonplace.

No, concern trolling is your comment on strategy. By the way a strategy, that is clearly winning against homosexual marriage. They've lost every time it's been put on the ballot.

Plus the browning of America will A) make the Whites more right-wing as the country fractures along racial lines, and B) the browns don't want anything to do with that SWPLy fag loving shit (except on the DL ya, know). So, the demographic trend is away from gay marriage, your strategy advice notwithstanding. They couldn't even win in Fagifornia on the ballot.

Like most people who have been and still are persecuted, they are very careful about not giving insult.

Now the above right here - the outright lying, that's just regular trolling. Yeah, the fruits are never out to offend, oh no. Hilarious!

Just like Blacks, who I'm sure you would classify as formerly persecuted, are "careful about not giving insult". Yeah buddy.

Directors are using more and more gay couples in choosing characters for TV. They also include racially mixed couples. I think it's being overdone as a matter of policy.

Hollywood is infested with faggots and Jews. It is being done as a matter of course.

I do not doubt that they offend you, but are you sure that you are not judging gay people through a few celebrities and gay prides? The most offensive members of a community are often the most visible. That's media for you. Gay pride are offensive to many and are for this reason controversial inside the gay community. However, they answer a real need of showing gay teens and closeted gays that there is nothing to be ashamed of in being homosexual. The suicide rate among homosexuals is very high and gay pride as outlandish as it might seem save lives by easing the social pressure and the feeling of loneliness. I think that if you knew a few LGBT, you'd probably agree with my assessment.

Rappers (black and white) are often out to offend, but I think that they are providing wish fulfillment for their oppressed audience.

Not all demographic indicator show that America is dividing among racial lines:

Beside, your convoluted reasoning do little to contradict observed trends in the polls concerning opinions about gay marriage.

Do you disagree that having been kidnapped and enslaved qualify for being classed as having been persecuted? You do not seem to make special efforts to not be offensive to blacks and homosexuals, do you hold them to a higher standard than yourself?

Clay: For God's sake, even if you HATE Mittens, go and vote against that bastard Obama. I don't want to hear any of that "lesser" stuff, either. I've said my piece. I'm not fond of Mormans, but, I'll take it over faggotry.

Clay, Willard Hussein Obamney is in favor of advancing the sodomite agenda every bit as much as D'Won on d'downlow is. He actively worked to impose it upon those opposed to it in MA. Voting for Mittens makes no difference at all.

Ahh, the ever presumptuous liberal who thinks that others' opinions are formed from ignorance and not experience.

Nope, I'm a racist because I grew up on the East Side of Chicago as it turned into a non-White ghetto. My boat slip is at Belmont Harbor and I lived many years in Lake View and have seen enough 4 am (hell noon for that matter) fag dysfunction to last me two life times, and my anti-semitism is, well hell, why wouldn't anybody be.

However, they answer a real need of showing gay teens and closeted gays that there is nothing to be ashamed of in being homosexual.

If there was nothing to be ashamed of they wouldn't need a vast indoctrination apparatus to push it. Take that apparatus away for a day and back to square one. Same thing if they took the forced integration apparatus away. Liberalism is just a fight against the natural order.

Already been discussed here and ad nauseum at Sailer's. The growth is mainly in non-Whites marrying non-Whites. 96% of White women are still marrying White men. Plus, just remember, as happened with the Jews, intermarriage spins out the least ethnocentric leaving a hardened core.

So eventually all you have left not inter-marrying are the "racists". I'm quite happy to see liberals lost to miscegenation.

Do you disagree that having been kidnapped and enslaved qualify for being classed as having been persecuted?

I don't know any present day American blacks who were enslaved. But what happened to their ancestors has been great for them. They should thank the White man every day for bringing their great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandaddies here.

You do not seem to make special efforts to not be offensive to blacks and homosexuals, do you hold them to a higher standard than yourself?

Chuckle. As if the word "gradation" didn't exist. But I'd be willing to extend just reciprocity. I have no where near reciprocated their public pathologies. When can I expect the same?

"Ahh, the ever presumptuous liberal who thinks that others' opinions are formed from ignorance and not experience."

Is it crazy to assume that you frequent people you despise less often or that they would avoid you?

"If there was nothing to be ashamed of they wouldn't need a vast indoctrination apparatus to push it. Take that apparatus away for a day and back to square one. Same thing if they took the forced integration apparatus away. Liberalism is just a fight against the natural order."

Chrisitanism is a culture, an ideology and an institution, there is nothing natural about it. (And it is as much an indoctrination as anything.) Outside of the abrahamic religions, homosexuality (or bisexuality) was most of the time accepted or even well regarded, for example among the romans, the greeks, the hindouists and ancient china. Moreover, shame is thoroughly cultural, little kids often masturbate in public, until they are told not to do so.

"96% of White women are still marrying White men."

Since 70% of the us population is white and white and black do not meet as much as people of the same colour, this means that a white woman has a fair probability for marrying the black guy they meet. Even if the proportion is presently small, the trend is clear. Agreeing with you on the hardened cores.

"I don't know any present day American blacks who were enslaved."

In complete agreement with you! We shouldn't feel ashamed any more for what happened long ago between people with unclear relations to us. "The son is not guilty of the crimes of the father." Liberals arguing against that are unjust and counter-productive. Still, as a group, in the past, the black people were treated horrendously.


"They shoud thank the white man..."

If someone beats you up, will you be grateful to him if you meet the love of your life in the hospital? Is it a joke?

"As if the word "gradation" didn't exist. But I'd be willing to extend just reciprocity."

I do not doubt you good will. But nobody weights fairly the offences against themselves versus the one they cause. "We see the straw in the eyes of others and we do not see the beam in ours."
