Eighteen months ago Barack Obama proclaimed before God and country that he was against same-sex marriage. And he was elected. Now, he applauds the Supreme Court decision striking down parts of DOMA. Adding insult to injury, he asserts that he won’t force religious institutions to conduct gay marriages. This despite Obamacare’s assault on the Catholic Church and persons of faith.
Here is the
White House’s official statement:
I
applaud the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage
Act. This was discrimination enshrined in law. It treated loving, committed gay
and lesbian couples as a separate and lesser class of people. The Supreme Court
has righted that wrong, and our country is better off for it. We are a people
who declared that we are all created equal — and the love we commit to one
another must be equal as well.
This
ruling is a victory for couples who have long fought for equal treatment under
the law; for children whose parents’ marriages will now be recognized, rightly,
as legitimate; for families that, at long last, will get the respect and
protection they deserve; and for friends and supporters who have wanted nothing
more than to see their loved ones treated fairly and have worked hard to
persuade their nation to change for the better.
So
we welcome today’s decision, and I’ve directed the Attorney General to work
with other members of my Cabinet to review all relevant federal statutes to
ensure this decision, including its implications for Federal benefits and
obligations, is implemented swiftly and smoothly.
On
an issue as sensitive as this, knowing that Americans hold a wide range of
views based on deeply held beliefs, maintaining our nation’s commitment to
religious freedom is also vital. How religious institutions define and
consecrate marriage has always been up to those institutions. Nothing
about this decision – which applies only to civil marriages – changes that.
The laws of our land are catching up to the
fundamental truth that millions of Americans hold in our hearts: when all
Americans are treated as equal, no matter who they are or whom they love, we
are all more free.
Does anyone truly believe this bastard?
