Muzzl'em Terrorist Barack Hussein Obama II continues his attack on Christians.
He offends Bible believers in every action he makes.
I can not pray for him. It would be an offense to God.

It will only matter if black voters decide NOT to support him because of the issue. That remains to be seen. Will black ministers bring this up in their congregations?

I think that most hispanics and blacks in California voted for Prop 8, although combined they were less than a third of the electorate there..
So, I guess this will get Mr Incumbent gay bucks, but I doubt it will help to get him votes.

Considering that even the most liberal States in the Union have rejected gay marriage at the polls I don't see how anyone could think it's going to help him whatsoever. It's just a question of how much will it hurt him, since we know a lot of the same people voted for him and against gay marriage. I'm sure most of those people will find an excuse to vote for Obama again no matter what, but some are going to change their vote or lose interest in his reelection on something like this. It just seem stupid to even pretend there can be an upside to this based on State polling results on the issue.

I support it - equal rights

I oppose it - religious/historical

I support an alternative - civil unions

Problem is that the Republicans have a terrible candidate to run against Obama on that and any other hot-button issue.

RINO Romney showed support for gay marriage in Massachusetts after the courts there rammed it down the citizens’ throats. Obama knows that and can moderate his stance accordingly.

The Republicans will also lose the high ground on issues like Obamacare as well thanks to the terrible candidate the RINO establishment force fed on the party this year.

The "Establishment Republican" lied and attacked the conservatives, so let the "Establishment Republicans" vote for him.
I won't. I don't have a conservative to vote FOR, so to HELL with it.
If they want my vote, then Romney's got to go!

That will never happen. Even if obama demanded the return of slavery, the 95% would think long and hard before they would vote against a sort-of-black guy.

Will black ministers bring this up in their congregations?

Gwen Ifill on PBS's The Newshour had on a black preacher -- in Roman collar -- debating Evan Wolfson, formerly of Lambda Legal and now running his own gay-marriage NGO, Mr. Gay Marriage himself, and the black minister wasn't taking anything off Wolfson, and indeed he jumped all over Wolfson's "civil rights" argument with combat boots.

People don't understand that "equal marriage rights" does it's "equalization" in order to derogate marriage, not flatter it by imitation, but to destroy marriage's iconic status as the ultimate heteronormal institution, whose very existence shines a searchlight on the aberrant and perverse nature of homosexuality.

"Equalization" is actually an attempt to drive marriage into the dirt. That's what the gays want -- and they said so in 1994 and even before.

What do they really want? When this country makes marriage legal across the nation, over turning all of the states rights, like abortion, then what will they want?

I think they want us to denounce God and his laws of marriage for these last 6,000 years and become secularist like them and "worship the creature more than the creator."

Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Rom 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Rom 1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

Rom 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
