Maybe Obama divorces his wife and marry a man.
for the first gay couple in the white house/ Maybe Obama and Savage marry one another. JUst a guess.

One would think the gays would be upset being used by Obama to get votes this fall. .......isn’t it obvious?  The man changes what he says by how the wind blows.  I cannot take him seriously.  He uses people. How can people not see it?  He does everything for a vote for power and not for what is good for people. It is all about him!

This is a well-written editorial. But why is it filed under “Daily News”? The style of writing is clearly not journalistic, but editorialist.

That being said, I think Ms. Gallagher makes excellent points.

I think in a civil government, marriage is a civil right requiring civil registration. The Church does not have to bless same sex marriages, but it should do all it can to promote civil rights, even supporting the civil services of marriage between consenting adults, no matter what their gender.

Romney is against same sex marriage and civil marriage.  But he says that he is ‘fine’ with gays adopting children.  So your choice is a President who supports same sex marriage or one that doesn’t. But they both support gays/lesbians adopting children.

The homosexuals in Hollywood gave Obama $15 million last night.  Go figure.

“The various forms of the dissolution of matrimony today, like free unions, trial marriages and going up to pseudo-matrimonies by people of the same sex, are rather expressions of an anarchic freedom that wrongly passes for true freedom of man.” Pope Benedict XVI

Why does anyone think that Romney is sincere in his position against gay marriage?  Before it became politically untenable for him to do so, he supported civil unions for gay people.  We are not stuck with two candidates, one for and one against gay marriage.  We are stuck with two candidates who will both say whatever they believe it takes for them to get enough votes to get elected.  They are both hypocrites.  Obama is an awful president.  But why pretend that Romney will be any better?

The majority of the Georgetown Faculty worship this new false god of so called gay marriage. They have erected altars in their classrooms stripped of Crucifixes and worship daily. When Patrick Deneen and a handful of faculty members drafted a letter to Georgetown’s president asking him to rescind the invitation to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius so that Sebelius would not be honored, so that Sebelius would not be placed on a pedestal next to Mzzz Fluke, so that Sebelius might not be mistaken as someone admirable, as someone to be imitated at Georgetown University Deneen found ONLY 9 faculty members willing to sign AND only 1 from the entire Theology department. Whereas 90 faculty members were happy to sign an ad-hominem attack on Catholic Congressman Paul Ryan concerning a matter which is clearly a matter of prudential judgment. Thank You Georgetown for teaching us that the ends justifies the means. Special thanks to the Judas priests who de facto teach us that what the Church teaches (and will always teach) is intrinsically evil means nothing when balanced against the false harlot of a pseudo “prostituted” version of Social Justice. By their fruits you shall know them. The only question to be asked is whether Georgetown president John “Judas” DeGioia who had the Crucifix covered over and hidden when he invited the “Maximum Leader” Barry Obama to Georgetown will AGAIN cover the Crucifix so that Sebelius is not offended. Hyperbole you say? Who? Who would have thought that the nihilistic parody of a University Education that is giving us how many Sandra Flukes at a “Catholic” University would have been possible even ten years ago? It could always be worse as DeGioia has not yet allowed the Crucifix to be placed in a jar of urine and called it art but I for one am not holding my breath.
Hey DeGioia after you drive off the last 9 faithful faculty you can get visiting professors; here is a quote from one that meets your current standards perfectly: Your Child Belongs To Us! “Every child in America entering school at the age of five is insane because he comes to school with certain allegiances toward our Founding Fathers, toward his parents, toward our elected officials, toward a belief in a supernatural being, and toward the sovereignty of this nation as a separate entity. It’s up to you, teachers, to make all these sick children well by creating the international child of the future.” Chester M. Pierce, Professor, Department of Educational Psychiatry, Harvard University.

No doubt the American electorate is strongly against SSM.  But I seriously doubt that Obama’s “coming out” will have an appreciable effect on the vote for him.  I don’t think there is anything he could do or fail to do that would cause him to get less than 95% of the black vote.  The religious vote he was not going to get anyway.  Politically, it was a reasonable move, particularly because his preferred option - remaining vague - was taken away from him by his clown of a VP.  Now he can get a huge financial boost from the elites who support SSM, without any real downside from those whose votes he already had, but may not agree w/ him on SSM.  The misconception for many pundits seems to be the importance of the SSM issue in a presidential contest.  Sure, if asked straight up (pun intended) to vote on SSM, the vast majority will oppose it; but as far as choosing a president, it is way down the list for most folks.  Those who strongly oppose SSM were not likely to vote for O in the first place; those who support O would rationalize away his support for SSM (if they don’t already support SSM themselves); and those on the fence about O would probably be more influenced by other issues (economy, foreign policy, healthcare).

By coming out (a deliberate pun) on the side of same-sex marriage, President Obama is doing more than just voicing an opinion, however popular or unpopular, however politically correct or not.  He is in violation of the Federal DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act).  But he is in violation of more than that.  The Executive Branch of the Federal Government is supposed to enforce the laws enacted by the Legislative Branch.  By refusing to enforce DOMA, President Obama is in violation of the most solemn obligation of his office, and that is to “faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Consititution of the United States” (Article 2, Section 1, paragraphs 8-9, Constitution of the United States), an impeachable offense.

If saomeone gave me $15 million, it’s be difficult for me to remember where my alliance falls…..with the truth.

It seems that the people who support same sex marriage have never heard the word “sodomy” and realize that it is a sin.  Maybe that just matter to them.

It would certainly seems to that Obama shoots himself in the foot every time he does something outrageous like this if it just weren’t for the imbecile intelligence level of the voters who elected him the first time. God help us.

32 states??!  THat is enough for a Constitutional amendment.  Let’s just get it done.

In the eyes and hearts of many, who can take traditional marriage seriously when the divorce rate in America for first marriage is 41%; for second marriage is 60%; and for third marriage is 73% (http://www.divorcerate.org). It also doesn’t help that a comprehensive catechesis concerning marriage is something that is (and has been) practically missing from the lives of many Christians and Roman Catholics in particular.

It’s sad to say, but the current attitude about marriage has been DECADES in the making and leaders in the church of the past - through negligence - has contributed to it.

The next step will be legalization of INCEST. The constitution is not against it. Also a man /woman with an animal can be a marriage. Some may like pigs, some dogs and so on. Think and think, why discrimination ? Permit everything according to our individual’s DESIRE. If any problem, we have money, science and doctors . Permit FULL FREEDOM , let it bloom

Maggie is made saintly by the nihilists.

Gays 1% - foolish minority. Used by big money and global liberalism for their own purposes. Othello is required reading.

Now, everywhere liberalism (and its money arm) is failing; our peculiar fragility - highly interconnected technological, few practical skills of previous eras, civil society absorbed by state, so few protective structures left; ruled by decadent nihilistic elite, made many clones;  what place have gay activists made for themselves in the order that follows?

Corrupt aristocracies are in the business of doing what is good for aristocracies; a simple truth - they’re last to know when history is doing away with them. 

Liberalism only exists because of material bribes,  can gay activists count on liberal belief remaining in what comes after Weimar? on the loyalty of an elite whose ziggurats sacrificed hundreds of millions of babies? maybe on a spectacular interruption of the pattern of history that simply dooms human sacrificers? financial crisis is a sex. rev. demographic one so looks wishful; what about maybe faith in the tradition of liberalism itself? but it’s incoherent in essence which is a problem http://www.firstprinciplesjournal.com/articles.aspx?article=1815

Liberalism was always parasitic on Christian culture, ssm activists work feverishly for the parasite but don’t understand what its vigor really means. Peter Kreeft reminds - Christianity is the best protection anyone could have (do gay activists know why?). For my part making deals with the devil - Ernst Rohm learned - is not a good long term strategy.

Spectacular fools of the 1%! if you knew how Maggie Gallagher is the best friend you have.

Opposition to gay marriage in North Carolina was likely higher than 61%. The particular law was badly drafted and many people voted against it for that reason alone. I suspect a better written amendment would have gotten around 70% of the vote.
.
Still, younger voters and urban voters were overwhelmingly against the Amendment. Orange County, home to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, rejected the amendment by a 3-1 margin. Appalachian State University swung the small mountain Watauga County to reject the amendment by a narrow margin. Charlotte and Raleigh also rejected the Amendment.
.
The “present” rejects gay marriage, but the “future” appears to strongly support it. What, exactly, is your answer to this profound demographic shift.

Thank you Professor Pierce,
I appreciate your comments.
