I for one Since: Oct 08 79 Location hidden	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #1 May 10, 2012 Judged: 12 6 4 I for one am extremely proud of our president. Not only is he the first black president, but he is the first one to defend our Constitution against religious bigots.

looking Marion, NC	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #4 May 11, 2012 Judged: 4 2 1 He was just looking for votes. That is the only reason he said he supported gay marriage. In the mean time he is going to lose his black votes because the black community is highly against gay relationships. Only a handful of gays will actually vote, so in a sense it seems like he just lost the race. :)

God says homosexuality is an abomination to Him. He hates it. ABOMINATION: 1.A thing that causes disgust or hatred. 2.A feeling of hatred. Synonyms: abhorrence - loathing - disgust - repugnance When He says,"DEPART FROM ME, I NEVER KNEW YOU", and they see hell for the first time, it will be too late. A spirit body that never burns up, that thinks and feels like they always did in life. They will burn with a fire so intense and hot that our sun will seem like an ice cube. On and on and on...never ending. A trillion years is noting to infinity where the torture goes on FOREVER. THEN they will 'get it.' So sad. There is no way when you're sent to hell to EVER get out. I hate it for them, George, Barack,the VP and all of the others, but it's their decision and they made the wrong one.

God says homosexuality is an abomination to Him. He hates it. etc etc etc Now, you can say THAT 3 times and it still makes no sense. Now, where exactly did GOD say that? I heard Jesus (the son of God) was for tolerance and love, but maybe I'm wrong. Enlighten me.
Harry Morganton, NC	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #11 May 11, 2012 Judged: 1 1 1 Does ANYONE want to go back to the "Good Old Days When Bush/Cheney Were in charge? When we lost more jobs since the 1929 Great Depression? When they lied to get us in a war with Iraq? When we were hit on 9/11? Yep, George WAS driving the BUS that day. Want to do away Social Security? Vote for Millionaire Mitt! Give MORE tax cuts to the RICH!

You must be so happy that Mr. Obama finally agrees with Dick Cheney (2009) re same sex marriage.
Moliner Enterprise, AL	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #17 May 12, 2012 Judged: 2 1 1 Whether he agrees with gay marriage or not, he swore an oath to uphold federal law and the Constitution. He has refused to do so and failed miserably in his performance of the oath of office. He is a traitor, pure and simple.

Are you claiming that your "god love" is actually a closet hater? Are you further suggesting that your allegegedly all-powerful god is not as powerful as a couple of queers? sosadforthem wrote: <quoted text> They will burn with a fire so intense and hot that our sun will seem like an ice cube. On and on and on...never ending. A trillion years is noting to infinity where the torture goes on FOREVER. THEN they will 'get it.' That sounds just plain silly. Not a very emotionally stable god you have there. A bit excessive with the alleged punishment for the very children and behavior he created, doncha think? Or are you one thgose hypocrites that says everything you approve of is "god' will, his wonders to behold" and everything you don't like is the work of the devil... which further suggests that you don't think your god is really all that powerful. sosadforthem wrote: <quoted text> George, Barack,the VP and all of the others, but it's their decision and they made the wrong one. So you just ignore that silly ol' "Judge not lest ye be judged" crap if it isn't convenient to you? Does your alleged god know you're into that? Does your alleged god know you proudly hate selected children of his? By your own sick reasoning, should you be expecting to burn in your alleged hell for your many sin of hating your fellow human being for reasons that are really none of your business and that are far beyond your intellectual capabilities?Personally, MY heavenly father told me you are full of sh!t. Then again, heavenly dad always did like me best. Can you blame her?

He has failed in the performance of those duties, no matter his personal opinions.
