If there’s one issue that Obama has turned on his African-American supporters over, it’s gay marriage.
Historically, blacks are socially conservative, religious, and family-oriented, and Obama’s decision to “evolve” on gay marriage did not sit well with many in the black community, especially pastors.
One member of the Coalition of African-American Pastors (CAAP) gave an interview during his appearance at the National Organization for Marriage rally this past week in which he said that Obama was leading the country down a path of moral decay, citing specifically his support of gay marriage.
TIM CONSTANTINE: “You can agree with any president, or disagree with any president on political issues, but I am absolutely stumped on this. Because we have any number of issues going on around the globe. We’ve got trouble with our economy here; we’ve got trouble with jobs here; we’ve got trouble in Iraq; we’ve got trouble in Russia, the Ukraine; we’ve got trouble throughout the Middle East, and yet his [Obama's] attention this week has been pushed on two things. One, let’s let illegal immigrants in–we’ll leave that one alone for now, but also lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. That’s been his big issue of the week.
Does he have any idea there are other issues going on in the world? Why is that a priority for him?
REVEREND BILLY OWENS: I wonder. I wonder if he really does know what’s going on in the world. I just really wonder.
You see, I believe, I know, when President Obama was first elected, he was for same-sex marriage then, but the deal he made with the gay community was ‘I must get elected the first time by saying I’m for marriage between a man and a woman.’
But the deal was, in the second term, he was going to take it over with a passion [homosexual marriage], and that he was done.
He has bowed, he has bullied, he has done everything to satisfy and pacify the gay community.
He added, “It’s terrible that this president has started this country on an immoral course. This is the most immoral president we’ve ever had.”
Rev. Owens is exactly right, and he’s a patriot for standing up to Obama on this issue. America is on a moral decline, and the push by liberals to force homosexuality down all of our throats is just the latest in a string of attacks the traditional Christian morality that built this country and made it great.
