Evolving, Liar, Forgetful, Wishy-Washy, or Politically Correct?
When Obama says he believes something, can we believe him? Let's look at his timeline on his stance on queer marriage.
1996 - “I favor legalizing same-sex marriages, and would fight efforts to prohibit such marriages.”
2004 - Obama said he believed marriage was between a man and a woman.
2006 - Obama said decisions on same-sex marriage should be left to the states "as they always have been."
2010 - Obama said that positions evolve, including his own, but that he was unwilling to support homosexual marriage at that time.
2011 - Obama's staff distanced him from his 1996 stand for queer marriage by saying that statement had been filled in on the document by "someone else." Then in a flip-flop in the same year, Obama said, “I think what you’re seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians, and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our coworkers, and that they’ve got to be treated like every other American."
2012 - Influenced by Malia and Sasha and the same-sex "parents" of their friends, he says that it is "imperative" for him to affirm "personally" his support for homosexual marriage. "There have been times where Michelle and I have been sitting around the dinner table, and we’re talking about their friends and their parents, and Malia and Sasha, it wouldn’t dawn on them that somehow their friends’ parents would be treated differently. It doesn’t make sense to them and frankly, that’s the kind of thing that prompts a change in perspective.”
2013 - He files a brief with the Supreme Court urging the overturn of California's Proposition 8. In addition, he says all laws regarding homosexual marriage should be given "heightened scrutiny," and if there is not a good reason for the law, it should be struck down.
I have the best reason of all -- God hates homosexual behavior, and the nation who endorses it will fall. Obama's mantra is that queer marriage is necessary in the name of fairness and equality. I want to know when he's going to take a similar stand for consenting adults in incestuous relationships. After all, one is just as repugnant to God as the other.
