Obama: I won’t make churches conduct gay marriages
washington examiner ^ | JUNE 26, 2013 | JOEL GEHRKE

Posted on 06/26/2013 2:06:27 PM PDT by Cheerio

President Obama, in his statement hailing the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act, promised that he wouldn’t try to force religious institutions to conduct gay marriages.

“On an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation’s commitment to religious freedom is also vital,” Obama said. “How religious institutions define and consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. Nothing about this decision — which applies only to civil marriages — changes that.”

Exactly! He will have Holder do it and then claim he knew nothing about it. His S.O.P. is to have his Brown Shirts And Neo SS do all his dirty work while he lies about his knowledge or complicity.

This is to implant the notion in people’s minds that he has the power to do so if he so chooses. After which he’ll announce he’s “evolved” on this issue and attempt to issue a diktat to non-compliant churches.

This coming from a guy who orders his boy Holder to sue states that try to enforce immigration laws or cops that try to bust gang bangers.

Did this petulant narcissist actually think that he had the power to force Churches to conduct services contrary to their beliefs? The man is delusional.

He didn’t mean churches. He meant to say mosques.

"My Muslim faith."

No, it will be somebody like Holder. Obama’s got plenty of flunkies to take the heat, while he gives the orders. Just like Chicago.

He already tried to force a Lutheran church to appoint a woman as a pastor through the Equal Protection clause of the 14th. The man lies.

And he's still trying to force my Church to pay for abortions and birth control.

I wouldn’t trust anyone who opposes measures to save those babies born that have survived botched abortions (and claims to be a Christian). Didn’t Obama also support DOMA in the past?

Him saying that implies he believes he has the authority to do so. How mighty TYRANT of him. Scary, actually.

Yep, his best buddy Holder will handle that part. And every caterer, reception facility, florist, baker, wedding dress shop, etc., etc., in the USA will be clearly shown that they had better serve all who come to them for services, or the intimidation by the IRS on tea party groups will look like kindergarten.
