Obama to Jay Leno: Russian Laws Against Homosexuality ‘Violating Basic Morality’
Christian News Network ^ | 11 Aug 13 | Heather Clark

Posted on 08/11/2013 5:29:30 PM PDT by SkyPilot

During his recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Barack Obama said that Russia and other countries like it are ‘violating basic morality’ by passing laws in opposition to the homosexual lifestyle.

After Obama was asked about his reaction to Russia granting asylum to NSA leaker Edward Snowden, Leno then delved into the issue of homosexuality and the 2014 Olympics.

“Well, something that shocked me about Russia — and I’m surprised this is not a huge story — suddenly, homosexuality is against the law,” he said. “I mean, this seems like Germany: Let’s round up the Jews, let’s round up the gays, let’s round up the blacks. I mean, it starts with that. You round up people who you don’t — I mean, why is not more of the world outraged at this?”

Leno was referring to a law that passed in June that bans the dissemination of “homosexual propaganda” to minors, including any material that is “directed at forming nontraditional sexual setup” or which could create a “distorted understanding” of human sexuality.

Well, I’ve been very clear that when it comes to universal rights, when it comes to people’s basic freedoms, that whether you are discriminating on the basis of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation, you are violating the basic morality that I think should transcend every country,” Obama replied. “And I have no patience for countries that try to treat gays or lesbians or transgender persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them.”

Is it "basic morality" to oppose a law that would protect babies that survive a botched butchery? Also bear in mind that this is the same guy who supported traditional marriage until fairly recently. His word means nothing.

Then why are we giving Money and Fighter Jets to Countries that “violate morality” by imprisoning, torturing and executing Gays?

All I want is an answer.

“According to reports, public polls from 2010 indicated that 38% of Russians believed that homosexuality is a “bad habit” and 36% said it was “a sickness or result of a psychological trauma.” However, 41% stated that they did not believe laws should be passed that “discriminate” against homosexuals.”

A higher percentage of Americans thin Obamacare should be repealed.

And Murdering 4000 babies each day is not “morally wrong”!

It's game over for the United States, IMO. God chooses nations throughout history to carry the Good News forward. When nations turn away from Him, he takes that mission from that nation and gives it to another.

The USA has just been fired, Russia has just been hired.

Basic morality, according to President O’Bummer, is that slaughtering babies in the womb is OK but anal sex is righteous and pure.

“Obama’s “new morality” is the amorality of hedonism.”

It’s not new, but it IS a basic tenet of MARXISM...

V.I.Lenin:
“The constraint of bourgeois marriage and the family laws of bourgeois states accentuate (...) evils and conflicts. It is the force of ‘holy property’. It sanctifies venality, degradation, filth. And the conventional hypocrisy of honest bourgeois society does the rest.

....

Sex and marriage forms, in their bourgeois sense, are unsatisfactory. A revolution in sex and marriage is approaching, corresponding to the proletarian revolution.”

I refuse to call Sodomites by any other name. Only ‘Sodomite’ bespeaks the proper level of condemnation for this particularly vile sin.

Social morality is more important than personal morality to liberals. They determine what is social morality and then everybody must adhere to their dictates. Wait til a Priest refuses to marry two homosexuals and watch the lawsuits fly.

Pray for America to Wake Up
