I notice that there is very little mention in the liberal media today that Obama has endorsed the CA decision declaring that bans on gay marriage are unconstitutional. Apparently the media thinks this issue could hurt the Democrats, and have decided not to talk about it.

Think the polygamists are feeling left out of this wildly widening definition of marriage?

Yes, and the ban on marriage of fathers to daughters, men to 8 year old boys, and women to dogs is also unconstitutional according to the Obamacrats.

"Barack Obama has always believed that same-sex couples should enjoy equal rights under the law, and he will continue to fight for civil unions as President. He respects the decision of the California Supreme Court, and continues to believe that states should make their own decisions when it comes to the issue of marriage."

If it is a "states rights" issue, then WHAT is Barack going to be "fighting for" as President? The President has no say in matters of state.

Scenario:

2 arsenokoits get married and then adopt a young child (male).

At the age of 18, they divorce with one of the “parents” entering into marriage with the adopted child. They adopt a child.

Not surprising since there’s a rumor that he’s been pole vaulting with Rev. Wrong.

Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

John 3:16
Revelation 3:20

So he’s for states rights “”..and continues to believe that states should make their own decisions when it comes to the issue of marriage...”” Yet is happy about a court overturning a law on the books supported by the people. Either you support the people in the state or not.

This is off-topic, but why don't we turn the MSM's deification of Obama into an opportunity to permanently de-claw the IRS?

This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.

Obama, a big-shot federal spender
The people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.

The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.

How can anyone enjoy a natural right, bestowed by "Nature's God," to engage in unnatural acts? The idea is self-contradictory, not that anyone believes in contradictions anymore.

“Same-Sex Unions”

This phrase is disturbing on so many levels...

With the gay rumors about Obama - even though likely false, it was stupid of him to support gay “marriage.” He had other alternatives. Yet another mistake by Obama.

A marriage must be consumated to be legally valid, since one of the two complimentary and defining purposes of marriage is the begetting and raising of children.

Sooo.... Have the Cal Supreme Court geniuses defined consumation for same-sex couples? If not, why not? Aren't same-sex marriages supposed to be equal to true marriages? If so, then what is the purpose of such a "consumation"? Is it subjective (perverse) pleasure? If so, then by this definition of marriage, any interpersonal act that begets pleasure is a "marital act."

The absurdities are endless. It takes years of schooling and never having worked to get this stupid. What complete and utter idiots.
