Some first reactions to the Obama blasphemy

The Guardian link for article below.....here and some of the reaction., including Romney from Fox. First is the Romney statement, followed by Reed's statement.


Following President Obama's comments in a TV interview expressing his support for same-sex marriage, his likely GOP rival Mitt Romney said Wednedsay he maintains his opposition to it -- the same position he's had since he "started running for office"

"I have the same view on marriage that I had when I was governor and that I expressed many times. I believe marriage is between a man and a woman," he told reporters following an event at the Oklahoma Republican Party headquarters, where he garnered the endorsement of Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin.

Ralph Reed, founder and chairman of Faith and Freedom Coalition, a conservative, anti-same-sex organisation, condemned Obama's shift as breaking a promise he made in 2008 to support traditional marriage."


POTUS promise?

"Combined with his administration's opposition to the Defence of Marriage Act, it reveals a president who is tone-deaf and out-of-touch with the time-honored values of millions of Americans. This is an unanticipated gift to the Romney campaign. It is certain to fuel a record turnout of voters of faith to the polls this November," Reed said.


In addition, some Latino groups have decried this Obama position.


Rev. Sam Rodríguez of the California-based National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference said that the churches he represents reject homophobia, but view marriage as a religious institution.

“We are both pro-traditional marriage and anti-homophobia,” Rodriguez told Fox News Latino. “This is not about civil unions or a legal apparatus. This is about the government saying, we are going to hijack a religious doctrine and change it for you.”

I hope so. Sadly, the politicians of New York have mostly come out for this false view of natural law rights. I hope none are Catholics, as they need to consider their immortal souls. This is not a civil rights issue. Sin has no rights.
