To: Salvation
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.

The above quote from the White House speaks volumes regarding the lack of comprehension of Obama in a number of areas.

1st, authority is not virtuous. A person who associates virtue with authority is confusing two concepts. Virtue is righteousness and the quality of moral excellence associated with righteousness. For those who have studied Scripture, it is evident that all virtue is only given by God to those in fellowship with Him. Virtue from any other source is a form of moral degeneracy further removing the person from God.

Virtue is therefore also associated with strength in character. The phrase, "through the force of", or "by authority of", is frequently associated with the phrase, "by virtue of" associating the Latin root, 'vir' or 'man' with strength and power with respect to character. (It is somewhat ironic for the President to appeal to characteristics of manliness, to celebrate bisexuality and effeminate behavior.) A woman's virtue, etymologically, is associated with her virginity prior to marriage.

Secondly, the President calls for the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists. People in government discriminate every day. The duty of the Legislative Branch is to discriminate between right and wrong and to legislate codes of discrimination between what is criminal and legitimate behavior in every law enacted by Congress. The Executive Branch of government is to discriminate daily in executing the laws of Congress, abiding and complying with that direction, discriminating between legitimate and illegitimate behavior. The Judicial Branch discriminates between legitimate and illegitimate behavior and discriminates between the authority vested in each Branch of government.

In regards to prejudice, our entire respect for Common Law is based upon prejudicial decisions, thereby eliminating a litany of repetitive legal effort by previous decision. When God Himself has declared such activity to be illicit, there is no need to declare God's Law illegal and celebrate sexual rebellion.

From this edict, the President Obama communicates he seeks to elevate his thinking above that of God, base his morality upon his power, demand others welcome anarchy by rejecting any discriminating thought, and retain his power independent of righteousness and void in faith in Christ.
