So Obama has been lying to us yet again.

[Albion Wilde]

It’s none of his damn business.

[Girlene]

There obama goes again, focussing on social issues.

[Fast Moving Angel]

State’s rights. He needs to keep his nose out of it.

[Tax-chick]

It's not a "same-sex marriage ban." It's an affirmation of what North Carolina statute law already says, which is that the state recognizes only marriages of one man to one woman.

It is impossible to ban every other possible combination of people, animals, inanimate furniture pieces, etc., that someone might wish to call "marriage," so why bother? Marriage is one man+one woman, period.

He was just waiting for it to be made mandatory.

There is so much dissembling by the liberals, including Obama, on this issue.

Obama says he believes marriage is a man and a woman, and that as a Christian, he sees God in the mix as well.

Then his administration decides not to defend federal marriage laws in court cases, presumeably to make it easier for judges to overturn marriage law.

Then, Obama says his views are evolving on this issue.

The liberals are saying that each state should decide this issue? Well, as of today, 31 out of 50 states have amended their constitutions to define marriage, to prevent judges from changing the definition of marriage. North Carolina would be the 32nd state to take that action if it passes.

Minnesota votes on the issue in November. Maryland may also have a referendum on marriage, attempting to reverse the same-sex marriage law passed by their legislature.

The point is, the liberals don’t really want the states deciding this. The big majority of states have decided that they want marriage to remain a man and a woman. Many more, which don’t have marriage amendments, still retain laws defining marriage. Or will have them until the gay activists drag them into court on how they define marriage.

What the liberals dream of is a “Brown vs. Board of Education” or “Roe vs. Wade” type ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court, imposing homosexual marriage on all 50 states. That’s what they want. Why don’t they admit it? There’s no way they want each state deciding, when the vast majority of states are deciding the “wrong” way.

"Advocates say the language also effectively bans civil unions and domestic partnerships, for which Obama has previously expressed support. "

I tend to think that if the GOP pushes to ban "domestic partnerships" in addition to homo marriage, they will lose the fight over the mid-term.

Preserve the sanctity of marriage, but let the homos inter-twine their assets and visit their aids-ridden "partner" without family permission.

I think this particular law goes further than necessary to protect marriage.

“While the president does not weigh in on every single ballot measure in every state, the record is clear that the president has long opposed divisive and discriminatory efforts to deny rights and benefits to same sex couples any thing that has morality or common sense as a foundation because he needs the basest of the base to be stigma free,” said Cameron French, Obama’s campaign spokesman for North Carolina.

[GenXteacher]

The hell with Obama. I’m going to go there and vote against same-sex marriage no matter what he or his pathetic followers think.

[massmike]

How did I end up in the only state in the nation where we’re NOT allowed to vote on this?

[Andy'smom]

He should have stayed out of this. Obama needs NC to win.

[Gene Eric]

One day the Country will awake and realize bureaucrats have no business in the affairs of the sacrament of Marriage.

Please America, fight for Liberty, not statism.

[JSDude1]

Bet that’ll go well over in the religious black communities in North Carolina-and it won’t do well in the white Christian communities down there either, nor the “bubba vote”.

Shoot the only people this applies to the “damn yankees” who’ve moved there over the last 15 years.

[Cvengr]

“The president has made clear the importance of protecting all families,”

Since it is not possible to have a homosexual family in the human species, he needs to readdress his belief.

[LomanBill]

President Obama today put himself on record as opposing a North Carolina ballot measure that would forbid same-sex marriages in the state.

Of course he did.

"He [Bill Ayers] also writes about the Weathermen's sexual experimentation as they tried to 'smash monogamy.' The Weathermen were 'an army of lovers,' he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male friend."

"...the Weathermen, when not engaged in group sex, committed such revolutionary acts as parading with a Viet Cong flag through a local park on Independence Day and spray-painting the walls of a high school with the slogans, "Off the Pigs," "Viet Cong Will Win," and "F#$k U.S. Imperialism."..."

"What happens next bears watching closely, as does the response of the president, ex-Speaker Pelosi, and others on the left.  Encouraged by leftists in the Democratic Party and funded by left-leaning nonprofit organizations and celebrity contributors, Occupy Wall Street may in time morph into something resembling the radical factions of the late 1960s and 1970s."

“That’s what the North Carolina ballot initiative would do, it would single out and discriminate against committed gay and lesbian couples. And that’s why the president does not support it,” he said.

Committed? What does that mean; is it some special designation?

[LonePalm]

How does limiting marriage to one man and one woman put all families at risk?

How does it put ANY family at risk? And at risk for what?

Obama wrote on a 1996 Illinois questionnaire that he supported same sex “marriage.” So all the time since then that he has said he opposes it, you’d have to think he was “fibbing”...
