Today after President Obama said he now supports same-sex marriage, Catholic League President Bill Donohue fear-mongered with suggestions that polygamy will be the next step in the President’s evolution.
“The president of the United States likes the idea of Tom and Dick marrying. He did not say whether he supports Tom, Dick and Harry marrying, or whether he is ‘evolving’ in that direction,” Catholic League President Bill Donohue said today, in a blog post titled, “OBAMA LIKES MEN MARRYING.” Donohue also called same-sex marriage ‘homosexual marriage.”
In 1996, when Barack Obama was up for a state senate post in Illinois, he said he supported gay marriage. Eight years later, when he set his sights on the U.S. Senate, he discovered his Christian roots and said he was against it. In 2008, he said he was opposed to homosexuals marrying, but he also opposed a ballot initiative in California, Proposition 8, that affirmed marriage as being exclusively between a man and a woman. In other words, his Christian roots were losing their grip. Since then he’s been “evolving.†Now the evolution is over and he has fully broken with his Christian moorings.
The president of the United States likes the idea of Tom and Dick marrying. He did not say whether he supports Tom, Dick and Harry marrying, or whether he is “evolving†in that direction. Perhaps he has to consult with his mentor on this issue, Mr. Joseph Biden of Delaware.
Yesterday, North Carolina voters affirmed marriage as being between a man and a woman. In the 32 times voters have been asked to decide this issue, they have voted 32 times to support traditional marriage. Gay rights advocates have never won.
President Obama will be hurt by this decision in the swing states. More than that, he has now made this cultural matter a major issue in the presidential campaign.
The time has finally come to pass a constitutional amendment affirming marriage as an institution reserved to the only two people who can naturally produce a family, namely a man and a woman.
Donohue falsely states that President Obama “discovered his Christian roots” “when he set his sights on the U.S. Senate.”
Christians in America embrace same-sex marriage at a higher rate than Republicans, and a greater percentage of American Catholics support same-sex marriage than the majority of Americans who do.
Bill Donohue is in a league of his own, a group on the waning side of history, and his bigotry is becoming more and more juvenile. Soon, no one will even bother to be offended by his hyperbolic rhetoric, choosing instead to ignore him.
