Obama Announces Plans to Repeal Defense of Marriage Act

You spoke too soon, Rand Paul. It sounds like the President's views on marriage just got even gayer.

Somewhat buried in CNN's story on Barack Obama's fundraiser in New York is this little tidbit about his administration's plans for marriage equality—

He also outlined goals he hopes to accomplish under a second term, including the repeal of the Defense Of Marriage Act, which the administration has already stopped defending.

This is the first time Obama has said that he wil actively work to repeal the law.

At the fundraiser, hosted by openly gay pop star Ricky Martin, Obama called same-sex marriage the "right thing to do." He also said that contrary to what many rightwing pundits have alleged, marriage equality will help families.

YES. You are completely Correct!

I like the expression :
“Not in the American People’s underwear, but in their pocketbooks, purses, and wallets.”

Most excellent.

He’s doing this to win reelection but it won’t work. What will he do next when that becomes apparent?

Much of Zero’s support is black. Blacks, by a large margin don’t like queers. No, they won’t go vote for Romney, they just won’t go vote. That will hurt Zero. Some of the black churches have already renounced this, and those are the ones that vote, by large, not the street gangsta’s.

The House should have convened Impeachment hearings 5 minutes after Obama announced he wouldn’t defend DOMA. It’s a clear violation of the Oath of Office.

I agree. I don’t understand why he gets away with so much.
He cannot repeal this law without Congress.

Wow, this is the most focused I’ve seen Obama on implementing a public policy idea.

History isn’t written in inevitabilities. Unexpected turning points pepper our past profusely. Otherwise, we would have been extinct millenia ago.

And these turning points are supernatural in nature.

zer0 and moochelle must have decided it is politically expedient to divorce and each marry into their same sex. Guess the kids be danged.

Is Obama really married? Is the wookie part of his “gay cover”? Should we have guessed why she goes on long trips alone? For Obama to defend marriage (which was a sacrament long before it was a law) would be the nadir of a corrupt spirit. Obama is corrupt to the core.

Obama has pinned his re-election hopes on the gay mafia. It’s all he has and they have a lot of money.

Everyone in Congress is a gutless coward. They are afraid of the half-black in the White House; they are afraid of the 2% queer population. The question is 'why'..?

Because they'd be called racists and homophobes so they cave. Myself, I don't care, I'd just do what is right and just tell the name callers to FOAD.

That might work in 1980. This is 2012. America has become much more morally corrupt since that time. Look all around us. The demographics bear this out, the popular culture bears this out. The decent people have died off of old age. The people without moral courage in the middle have gone along with the change(s) for the worse, like accepting homosexuality openly. And more people have been born and grew up in an environment of no morals, Milleninals, Gen X, etc.. What I am saying is not to abandon them (those moral principles) and indeed speak up on them when appropriate. For example, I hear the GOP will run anti-gay marriage ads in certain key districts that are socially conservative but also perhaps blue collar Democrat. What I AM saying is figure out what the enemy, the DNC/White House/Mass Media wants us to do, and do the opposite. They want us to concentrate around social issues solely, in which case with a perverted American majority they will clean our clock, and they want us to get off the issues of unemployment, deficit, taxes, fuel costs and running the country into the ground fiscally, which they can be completely routed. Believe me, this is tactic I am talking. We get into office, then we clean out the den of inquity. But you gotta get in there first. There were three cards the Obamanists were going to use on us to keep us from knocking him out of office. The Racist Card. The Anti-Woman Card. And the Bigot or Bullying Card. We should be careful not to give them any of these cards, as contrived and full of hot air as they are. Working fist and glove with the media, they can create a narrative to knock out anti-Obama forces in battleground states. This would be my concern.

Where exactly does this madness end?

Ther is no amicable solution. It's us or them.

Homos like to say they want "equality", but deep down, they consider themselves superior in every way. They reject God, and put themselves in His place. Thus their thoughts are little else but error, and destruction will be the result, one way or another. See: Sodom

And many on this site are going to vote for Obama out of their delusional nonsense that mittens is worse than Obama

Hopefully that delusion has faded and clarity has returned.

So you ask, how can you have morality without god? Simple: We all have human apathy/empathy and that gives me my moral compass. I care for people, especially good people. That's enough for me. Address the political issues or take your religious stuff to the proper forum, please.

Self refuting nonsense.
