Obama clashes with African host over gay rights
AP ^ | 6/27/2013 | NEDRA PICKLER

President Barack Obama on Thursday praised the Supreme Court's ruling on same-sex marriage as a "victory for American democracy" but clashed with his African host over gay rights in a sign of how far the movement has to go internationally.

Obama said recognition of gay unions in the United States should cross state lines and that equal rights should be recognized universally. It was his first chance to expand on his thoughts about the ruling, which was issued Wednesday as he flew to Senegal, one of many African countries that outlaw homosexuality.

*snip*

Papi Nbodj, a 19-year-old student who stood by the road to the presidential palace to see Obama's arrival, said homosexuality is against the religious beliefs of most in Senegal.

"We are in a Muslim country, so we certainly cannot have it here," he said. "And for me it's not OK to have this anywhere in the world."

I also think we should stop eating shell fish too. We need to follow the Bible perfectly so that the left can no longer bash us for using passages that we feel we want to. I don’t understand why we don’t follow the Bible word for word. I know I have given up shell fish a few years ago so that when I say that Homosexuality is a sin and they try to stump me. I say well I don’t eat shell fish either and boy do they shut the heck up. I never understood why conservative christians don’t follow the Bible more.

Obama doesn’t have to be ‘told’ ... he volunteers.

I do not approve of Islam and some of its more terrible ideas—BUT I honor the dedication of their followers who will die to get their will heard. A bit like the Kamakazi Pilots in WW II who would crash their obsolete planes into Allied ships. No one mocks Islam because you could get killed doing so. Imagine a Christian Group that dedicated today—well, maybe in Russia...

These people slaughter men, women and children for being on an airplane, or in a building, or on a bus and there's nuts all over this thread praising them for their "dedication."

When did this website get so completely insane?

There is NO valid reason - biblical, moral, financial, or otherwise - to blow up innocents (or gays, or Christians, or fornicators) and when some islamic nutjob says "And for me it's not OK to have this anywhere in the world." - that's what he talking about - murder. On a large scale of whoever's around.

And people who show any support for that plan are not much better than those they praise.

Wow, I sure hope that no one makes a video of Obama's comments and puts them on the internet.

Might cause a spontaneous outburst from people leading to riots.

The decadence and perversions of the left is a huge portion of the reason that Muslims hate us.

It upsets me to find myself agreeing with a Muslim.

Napscoordinator, the dietary laws were specifically abrogated by God in the book of Acts.

“11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth:

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.

13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.

14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.

15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.”

You may not like the Bible, or Christians, but do be aware that greater minds than yours or mine, far greater, have read and understood it in its entirety, and we are not picking and choosing what laws to keep and what to ignore. The Bible is consistent and clear. God does not make his will for us obscure. Whether we wish to abide by it or not is another matter.

See excerpt below from the africa trip link. I guess little black messiah know something we don’t. “If and when...” WTF? He’s goin’. The only question is when. Legacy? Yeah, right. I’d sure want the ANC as my legacy. Turned out to be a typical elitist celebrated but other commies the world over (ROTUS for example) but that won’t save him now.

“If and when he passes from this place, one thing I think we’ll all know is that his legacy is one that will linger on throughout the ages,” said Obama, who has sometimes been linked to Mandela given their shared status as their nations’ first black presidents.

"When it comes to how the state treats people, how the law treats people, I believe that everybody has to be treated equally," Obama said

He forgot to add except Christians or Conservatives. Because 26% of his group think Conservatives and Christians are the #1 terrorist threat in their lives.

Then why has this never been told to the damn liberals. I actually believed them and thought you know what, they are right. I am going to practice word for word the entire Bible which by the way has been great for my family. Now you are telling me that God changed his mind? I don’t get it.

Oops. I guess I needed to ready your entire post instead of the first paragraph when I posted back to you. I guess bottom line is to trust in God. It is so tough with all the evil in the USA. I swear it used to be so easy. My kids are good thank goodness (hopefully they stay that way). We really put God first in our lives which is so helpful in parenting.

Last night I said to my wife “I feel very Moslem at the moment”. I also said, “That's it. The West deserves everything that is coming to it.” It's like the Eloi in HG Well’s the Time Machine. We have totally feminized humanity.

Guess which culture will win between the “squishy everything goes” tolerance of the West and the committed and firm moral militant-ism of Islam.

Obama to Muzzies: “Wink, wink. We’re only using this issue to win support. Once we enable the Muslim takeover of the USA, you can feel free to do what you have to do to deal with the issue. This way, you will have easy access to marriage records and other documents, making it very easy for the Religious Police to locate these offenders of Allah. Just be patient”

In order to promote gay marriage, the Democrats have created the false image of anti-homosexuals as being primarily white Evangelical Christian racists, so busy clinging to their guns and bibles they can’t think straight.

Yet, lo and behold, the entire continent of Africa is anti-homosexual. Not to mention that it was African-American voters in California who played a major role in the passage of Proposition 8, which banned gay marriage.

Somehow it turns out that the bad old American white guys have a lot of company.
