Taking Christ's name in vain, Biden blasts biblical marriage 'bigots'
GOP USA ^ | 3/13/2015 | Michael F. Haverluck

While addressing one of the nation's leading homosexual activist groups on Friday in the nation's capital, Vice President Joe Biden used the name of Jesus Christ in vain while defending the claim of the LGBT community that homosexuality is hereditary.

Biden was challenging prospective Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson's assertion last week that homosexuality is a choice … a learned behavior — not a gender or inherent biological state of being.

"A lot of people who go into prison go into prison straight — and when they come out, they're gay," the acclaimed neurosurgeon told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "So, did something happen while they were in there? Ask yourself that question."

Apologizing later for his "choice of language" on a Facebook post, Carson wrote that even though he opposes same-sex "marriage" due to his Christian beliefs, individual states should be able to choose whether it's legal.

"I support civil unions for gay couples, and I have done so for many years," Carson expressed. "I support the right of individual states to sanction gay marriage, and I support the right of individual states to deny gay marriage in their respective jurisdictions."

Apology not good enough

Despite Carson's apology, Biden took the opportunity at the annual conference of the Washington, DC-based Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest pro-LGBT lobbying group, to condemn the GOP candidate for his belief that homosexual behavior is a learned trait.

"Every ridiculous assertion from Dr. Carson on — I mean, ridiculous. I mean, J****, G**," Biden exclaimed before the LGBT crowd. "Oh G**. I mean, it's kind of hard to fathom, isn't it?"

(Video at link.)

The vice president then resorted to name calling, insinuating that Carson and others who ascribe to the biblical view of homosexuality should be eradicated from the planet in the name of "equality" and "tolerance."

"We're never going to be able to eliminate the bigots," Biden continued his rant. "They're a small percentage of the population."

Biden went on to assure the pro-LGBT crowd that even though the Obama administration cannot enforce a thought police, people who stand for their religious convictions are in the process of being wiped out — as the White House's homosexual agenda continues to proliferate across the nation.

To date, 37 states plus the District of Columbia have legalized same-sex marriage, whereas it was legal in only three states when Obama took office in January 2009. The president also erased the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, essentially normalizing homosexual behavior in the U.S. military and squashing religious freedom throughout every branch of the armed forces.

"They'll continue to be vocal," Biden conceded. "But make one thing absolutely clear, folks, they are an incredibly smaller and smaller minority. This country is changing."

Crafting homosexual behavior into a civil rights issue

Using the observance of Selma's "Bloody Sunday" 50th anniversary commemoration this weekend celebrating the black civil rights demonstrations of 1965, Biden argued that the homosexual agenda to legalize same-sex marriage is a modern-day reflection of Martin Luther King's civil rights movement.

"[It is] in fact the same basic movement," Biden contended.

For years, homosexual activists have insisted that there is such a thing as a "gay gene," even though clinical research has refuted such a claim. Embracing the debunked notion and selling point, the homosexual agenda argues that gender identity — what sexuality a person self-proclaims himself or herself to be — determines whether a person is male or female instead of biological characteristics.

Since officially declaring his allegiance with the homosexual agenda and promoting same-sex marriage in 2012 — just days before Obama made his public announcement endorsing such unions after his "evolution" on the issue from his 2008 election stance — Biden has pushed the LGBT doctrine that homosexuality and "transgenderism" are hereditary and a natural state of being. That belief contradicts the Judeo-Christian beliefs under which he was raised as a Roman Catholic.

"I am absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women, and heterosexual men and women marrying one another are entitled to the same exact rights, all the civil rights, all the civil liberties," Biden proclaimed in 2012.

Both Biden and Obama have advocated for federal legalization of same-sex marriage via a U.S. Supreme Court ruling, which would wipe out the remaining amendments protecting traditional marriage in the 13 states that don't currently recognize such unions. The high court's ruling that could negate those amendments is expected by late June.

And you would be wrong.

You’re not hearing what I’m saying. The marriage union is not just a spiritual matter. It is the forming of the natural family, therefore it is the formation of the most basic unit of self-government. Which means that the broader government has an existential interest in the matter.

Governments have pretty much recognized marriages for the most part since written history began and offered some type of protection (Restitution if affordable mainly for widows). In the United States/British North America a couple would get married then usually file some sort of public recognition to the State/municipalities that they were joined (Sometimes from the Church or the person who said the rites). This was a common custom for obvious reasons, but unfortunately there was a lot of fraud occurring concerning couples/females/males who claimed they were married.

As a State authority, what would you do to maintain order and prevent fraud in the wake of Social Security laws, tax laws, pension laws, and military wives whose husbands were KIA on behalf of the State etc...? Keep in mind you can't just waive a magic wand to make all those pesky laws and situations go away. Also if you pull an Augustus by decreeing low ranking soldiers cannot marry be careful of your retention rates. Higher ranks also have huge monetary prices as well and sometimes they get KIA as well.

I don't like marriage licenses, but the real world and corruption often complicates Utopian ideals.

Biden works with obama and Hillary Clinton.
Both are on the “other side” while Bill Clinton likes young underage women provided by his pedophile friend Jeffery Epstein. It is no wonder we want marriage to be between a man and a women.

These people would have children being married off or threesome or whatever twisted thing they can think of.

I would argue that the true legal basis for denying sodomites the right to enter into the civil union known as marriage was the incompetency statutes.

An incompetent person (insane) can not legally enter into a contract (or be held accountable for their actions)

Historically, being attracted to someone of the same sex was thought of as a mental illness. Basically, anyone attracted to a person of the same sex was thought to be insane and thus incompetent and unable to enter into ANY contract.

When the sodomites successfully infiltrated the American Psychological Association back in the 70’s and declared themselves sane, we lost the underpinning legal basis for denying sodomites the right to enter into a civil union or any other contract.

They are “life bigots”. They obviously hate the way nature operates... and then they call themselves scientific evolutionists....

"We're never going to be able to eliminate the bigots," Biden continued his rant. "They're a small percentage of the population."

WHAT BIDEN IS REALLY SAYING: "We're never going to be able to eliminate Christians and Jews..."

Biden has probably spanked the monkey so often in his life It has, no doubt, affected his feeble brain.

What a simpleton this parasite is. He can’t keep his hands off women and little girls.

Was Teddy Kennedy ever excommunicated? If he wasn’t, I’m guessing Biden won’t be.

He wasn’t calling on “Jesus, God” for a prayer, chat, or some solution from the omniscient, he was just using the names because of the attention getting power they possess. That’s using the Lord’s name in vain.

Our current Vice President is actually calling for a Christian Holocaust! But hey, it’s just ole crazy Joe, so the press will give him a pass.

If anyone questions the left’s willingness to open gulags, just re-read these comments!

This statement, by the GOP, is precisely WHY they are continuing to lose their conservative base. This would have been the perfect opportunity to point out that liberal judges have overturned the people in nearly every one of those states, if not all!

But hey, we can’t expect the GOP to actually fight for anything more than donations.

This alone tells me that they have no real interest in being the opposition party to tyranny, they just want to use Biden’s gaffes for fundraising.

Defund the GOP!
