Good on Obama. Says what he believes, even if it’s not politically in his favor everywhere. Unlike Romney, who doesn’t seem to believe in anything, and will grovel apologetically and immediately cave to anyone who criticizes him of not being conservative enough.
God! I"m SO glad the “religious right” and the “radical right” in this country hold NO hate in their hearts! Rectal cranial inserted despondent hypocrites!! A “non-practicing” Buddhist, or a blind dachshund can see it, but their mirror is shattered glass.
After waiting and waiting, I am impressed that he finally came out and put a stake in the ground considerably farther than I would have expected. Took some time, but he did it.
I believe no laws have changed, and it is each State’s right where they go with this. One conservative commentator this morning thought it was hypocritical of Obama not to mandate same sex marriage rights at the Federal level, thinking, I presume, that it would then become a juicy campaign issue.Obama continues to stay ahead of the opposition, which I guess is why they’re called progressives.
Any country claiming that they are a free and open society that provides and protects the freedom and equality of their citizens (religiously, politically, philosophically, sexually, ethnically, and socially) is but a Lie unless it applies equally to all of their citizens v. just a "selected” few, or even the selected many, but not too all.
This country, America, is supposed to have a secular government that does not discriminate against religions In-Accordance-With our Constitution’s 1st Amendment. Yet today anti-democratic, anti-American, anti-personal freedom and equality religious groups, churches, and certain elected officials, in 33 States, have succeeded in passing prejudicial laws prohibiting equal rights, equality, and freedoms to the LGBT minority within this country. This is all too reminiscent of what the Nazi Party and Fascist did to the Jews, Gypsies, other non-Caucasians, political adversaries, and what the South, and for that matter the North, East and West of the U.S, did to Blacks after 1865.
Hopefully, optimistically, the U.S. Supreme Court, as it has in the past, will be presented with a civil rights case that will overturn and so rectify the prejudicial and discriminatory laws that are now standing in these States.
Until that happens, every time that someone raises an America Flag there is a Shadow Swastika, a Shadow Vatican, and Shadow Fundamentalist Baptist Flags of prejudice, hate, and discrimination that rise with our Flag in quiet denunciation of all that America is supposed to stand for in the world today.
