As Pope Francis flew back to Rome, President Obama issued a stern warning to Christians, warning them their attempts to assert their religious liberty to oppose gay rights would fail. We affirm that we cherish our religious freedom and are profoundly respectful of religious traditions, he insisted during a dramatic speech at a LGTB fundraiser in New York City on Sunday night, praising the progress made on gay rights under his administration. But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesnt grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights. The fundraiser for the Democratic National Committee was specifically billed as an LGBT gala held in New York City in coordination with Obamas trip to the United Nations Assembly. During his speech, Obama asserted that his administration was respecting what he described as genuine concerns of religious institutions but suggested that Republicans were using the issue just to earn more votes, as they did in 2004. America has left the leaders of the Republican Party behind, he declared proudly. He ridiculed Ben Carson for suggesting that prison turns you gay and added that another Republican candidate had boasted of his introduction of a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage, likely referring to Sen. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX).

I don’t think he really has one any more. The Devil got it a long time ago.
Obama is pushing water up-hill.
This ridiculousness will be overturned one way or another.
I’m glad he recognizes that there is such a thing as religious liberty, but as usual, Obama’s “but” is the sore point.
He must have been absent from school the day they explained why early settlers came to this country and why the Constitution is constructed as it is.
Psychopath
Don't try to box with God.
Your arms are too short.
But we also have to say clearly that our religious freedom doesnt grant us the freedom to deny our fellow Americans their constitutional rights.
What he is saying is that the one Constitutionally protected right, freedom of religion, is subordinate to another Constitutionally protected right, the freedom to engage in sodomy, so freedom of religion is no longer a Constitutionally protected right.
Oops...I meant *Obama* was a psychopath,not you Captain!
translation: David Geffen has given more money to the Democrat Party than all religious leaders combined since 1972.
I got it:)
AND the First Amendment. Can in our SPEECH we say what we think, or do we have to be careful not to offend.
He was in Indonesia in his younger school days, learning about how to be a good koranimal. In his high school days he apparently spent most of his days smoking weed, and thus his brain was too cloudy to absorb any education.
Consequently he does not give a whit about this Country, its origin, its Founding Fathers, nor the Constitution. Quite a winner that we elected (twice) as President.
Excellent!
Then we must not offend the poor muslim with our Western ideals, values and customs.
Enemy islamist
Why would Obama promote homosexuality so much?
At this point I pray for this repentance, but I also pray that if that’s not God’s will that He will give Obama merciless justice.
Obama’s gonna be a thorn in our side when he moves to his next gig: Secretary General of the U.N.
Don’t worry Obama, your right to pack and eat fudge will remain intact...
