President Obama Affirms His Support for Same Sex Marriage
President Obama today announced that he now supports same-sex marriage, reversing his longstanding opposition amid growing pressure from the Democratic base and even his own vice president.
In an interview with ABC News' Robin Roberts, the president described his thought process as an "evolution" that led him to this decision, based on conversations with his staff members, openly gay and lesbian service members, and his wife and daughters.
"I have to tell you that over the course of several years as I have talked to friends and family and neighbors, when I think about members of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous relationships, same-sex relationships, who are raising kids together; when I think about those soldiers or airmen or marines or sailors who are out there fighting on my behalf and yet feel constrained, even now that 'don't ask, don't tell' is gone, because they are...

Pastor Baldwin also in 2008, when he was running for POTUS, wrote a column about his father, and bragged that his father helped develop the atomic bomb.

Gil gets that from Romans 13?
And you believe him?
Jhn 19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.

Sorry to be blunt, Jim, but you have no clue what you're talking about when you attempt this level of historical revisionism.
By law, tradition, and fact, Obama is the King of America. In fact the Presidency of America was designed to be a copy of a Kingship we have a strong leadership form of government. If I were a citizen of England, you wouldn't see me saying bad things about the Queen (though I like Liz, her heir is a brat--see I'm not a British citizen or really be complaining about Mr. Cameron --hmm, him I can complain about! Another anti-Christian!
I think I have already mentioned this booklet numerous times and again I will do it,

For example: • "There is no authority except from God" (Romans 13:1). • "Submit yourselves to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him" (1 Peter 2:13-14). • "And it is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings" (Daniel 2:21). [All verses from the NASB ] God’s sovereignty does directly apply to all those in power....

You're not anti-nomian, are you Jim? The law of this land does not establish the president as ruler. Did Jesus teach we should fight against the law of the land?
Who's the sitting ruler, Mike, Obama. No he won't get much criticism from me. besides, it is the Republicans that have that, "holier than thou," attitude. Oh, and by the way, thanks for reminding me about the Bush clan, remember Baby Bush's wife in her book accepted homos and queer unions.
But least we forget, what about was said about North Carolina in the NY Times-- In North Carolina, Beliefs Clash on Marriage Law. A homo who was an aid Strom Thurmond, thinks that NC will get more liberal through the years.
Jim Lincoln wrote: Right from the beginning, "Two wrongs don't make a right." But look at what the future Republican candidate supports.
As usual Jim, you find it difficult to be the least bit critical of Obama without tossing in a Republican to modify the criticism. But we should be grateful you didn't bring in Bush or oil.
btw, none of this homosexual "marriage" stuff has any point except to distract from Obama's extremism and many failures. He absolutely does not want to talk about the economy, the debt, healthcare by bureaucracy, or any other indefensible issue. All this "gay" rubbish is meant to keep Romney on defense and off focus. If he were astute enough, he wouldn't fall for it. Watch the m.s. media help the president by continuing to dig up more inventive nonsense to keep the people distracted, and Romney explaining.
