Obama to Seek Repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

Jan. 28, 2010 - As part of his State of the Union address, President Obama reminded the skeptical gay community that he still has them in mind. He said he will try to repeal the so-called "don't ask, don't tell" policy in the military.

"This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay Americans the right to serve the country they love because of who they are," Obama said in prepared remarks.

Obama Compares Fox News to Talk Radio, Says He's Not 'Losing Sleep' Over Controversy

Oct. 21, 2009 - Fox News has criticized some of the Administration's policies and actions, and has in turn been criticized by the White House for being unfair.

When Press Secretary Robert Gibbs was asked how Fox News was different from other news organizations, Gibbs mentioned the channel's 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. shows, in an explicit reference to "Beck" and "Hannity." Actually, those two hours are opinion or commentary format programs.

During an NBC interview with the President, he was asked why they had targetet Fox openly.

Obama said. "And if media is operating, basically, as a talk radio format, then that's one thing. And if it's operating as a news outlet than that's another. But it's not something I'm losing a lot of sleep over."

Obama administration moves to strike down Defense of Marriage Act

Aug. 18, 2009 - The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), denies federal recognition of same-sex "marriage" and gives states the right to refuse to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states.

Gary Bauer, president of American Values, says President Obama is committed to repealing DOMA -- but does not want to take the political flak that would come along with it.

The Obama administration is opposed to the the Defense of Marriage Act because they believe it is discriminatory and prevents equal rights and benefits. However, the Justice Department is obligated to defend federal statutes when they are challenged in court.

Therefore, DOJ attornies seek to dismiss a suit brought by a homosexual California couple challenging DOMA. But, at the same time, they have filed court papers claiming the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act discriminates against homosexuals.Bauer says these contradictory actions are reminiscent of "politics in the wards of Chicago -- saying one thing and then doing something else behind the scenes."

Sotomayor Tells Senator She "Never Thought About" Rights of Unborn on Abortion

June 11, 2009 - In the process of meeting with each Senator, Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was asked an important question by Senator Jim DeMint.

"When I asked if an unborn child has any rights whatsoever, I was surprised that she said she had never thought about it," he said.

Because of this DeMint questions whether Sotomayor has an "unwavering commitment to the Constitution and equal justice for all Americans."

According to the Washington Times, Sotomayor was a member of the board of directors of a Hispanic group, and a part-time head of its litigation committee, that filed several legal briefs urging support for unlimited abortions.

Obama Picks Sonia Sotomayor for Supreme Court

May 26, 2009 - An anonymous source says President Barack Obama will nominate federal appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court today. If approved by the Senate she will succeed retiring Justice David Souter.

Administration officials say Sotomayor would bring more judicial experience to the Supreme Court than any justice confirmed in the past 70 years.

She will be the first hispanic to be nominated to the Supreme Court.

She was confirmed an appeals judge more than a decade ago by the Senate. At that time she said, "I don't believe we should bend the Constitution under any circumstance. It says what it says. We should do honor to it."

Obama “Forcing” Christians To Embrace Homosexuality, Conservatives Warn

Jan 27, 2009 - George Whitten, International Correspondent, warns that President Obama's agenda regarding homosexual issues will have a negative effect on Bible-believing Christians. His plans include

Passage of The Employment Non-Discrimination Act - The law would prohibit "discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity or expression." Employers would be forced to accept what some of them consider immoral behavior. This appears to violate the First Amendment provision, "Congress shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." In this first form of the bill, churches would be exempt.

Repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) - To force every state to recognize homosexual marriages or unions.

Repeal the "don’t ask, don’t tell" policy in the United States army.

Expand federal hate-crimes laws. Obama actually introduced the Matthew Shepard Act in the Senate as a freshman senator. Future "hate crimes" legislation could make preaching sermons on homosexuality and other "sins" mentioned in the Bible violations of the law. Such laws could also criminalize pulpit warnings about the dangers of radical Islam.

On Roe v. Wade anniversary, GOP lawmakers press Obama

Gay bishop to open inaugural weekend

Jan. 13, 2009 - Rick Warren will offer the invocation at the presidential inauguration, but President-elect Obama has asked The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire to pray at the kick-off of inaugural events this Sunday at the Lincoln Memorial. Robinson was elected the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop in 2003. An inaugural official said:

"The president-elect has respect for the Rt. Rev. Robinson, who offered his advice and counsel over the past couple of years. It also has the benefit of further reinforcing our commitment to an open and inclusive inaugural.”

Military Opposes Obama’s Pro-Gay Stance

Jan. 9, 2009 - During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to end “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” which would allow gays serving in the military to openly profess their homosexuality.

A new poll by the Military Times, however, found that a majority of active-duty service members want to keep the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy in place.

Consequently, the incoming President may postpone taking this action right away. But if he does postpone it he will be criticized by homosexual activists.

Battle Fatigue

Jan. 9, 2009 - During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama told Planned Parenthood, "The first thing I'd do as President is sign the Freedom of Choice Act."

The bill would remove almost all state and federal restrictions on abortion. But observers wonder if the anti-abortion movement has enough life in it to successfully fight the legislation or similar measures.

The election of Obama as President and other liberals to congress leaves anti-abortion crusaders doubtful that their best efforts will prevail.

More Than the Media Lets On? Obama and the Illinois Gov.

Dec. 10, 2008 - The mainstream media is covering up the relationship between President-elect Barack Obama and Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Blagojevich was just arrested for trying to "sell" the Senate seat vacated by Obama. Obama said he had had no contact with the Illinois governor about the matter, but it is clear that the two men have had much in common in the past. One lone mainstream reporter willing to explore the connection between Obama and Blagojevich is ABC’s Jake Tapper.

Tapper notes that Obama endorsed Blagojevich in 2002 and 2006, serving as a “top adviser.” Obama is also referred to as one of “the top strategists of Blagojevich’s 2002 gubernatorial victory.”

Obama Positioned to Quickly Reverse Bush Actions

Nov. 9, 2008 - some 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders are targeted for change by the Obama transition team. Among them are President Bush's limit on federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, and the so-called "Mexico City Policy," a rule barring international family planning groups that receive U.S. aid from counseling women about the availability of abortion, even in countries where the procedure is legal.

The Death of the Pro-Life Movement

Nov. 7, 2008 -
Dr. Paul Kengor says that all the progress that President Bush gained for the pro-life cause will vanish quickly now that Barack Obama has been elected. Obama was co-sponsor of the Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA), and he said that bill will be the “first thing” he signs as president.

FOCA will nationalize abortion, superseding and overturning abortion restrictions in every state... Or, as the National Organization for Women excitedly proclaims, FOCA would “sweep away hundreds of anti-abortion laws [and] policies.” In one stroke.

The bill wipe out all the fully bipartisan abortion restrictions passed by Democratic and Republican legislatures over the past 35 years.

Majority voters bash Obama ‘family’ values
Poll: Americans back man-woman marriage, also believe life commences at conception

Aug. 26, 2008 - While Barak Obama calls for complete equality of homosexual couples, opposes state marriage amendments, and holds an extreme pro-abortion position, he is out of step with the majority of Americans according to the latest Zogby poll.

The newest WND/Zogby poll results assessing the 2008 election showed 58.3 percent would support "a ballot measure in your state" limiting marriage to one man and one woman. Another 36.2 percent would oppose the plan.

On abortion, the poll found that 59 percent believe human life begins at conception, 16.8 percent think it begins when the baby can survive outside the womb with medical assistance, and 17.2 said life begins at birth.

In addition, the poll showed (55% to 28%) that voters would oppose a president who does not know when life begins. At the recent Saddleback Forum Obama told Rick Warren that determining when life begins was "above my pay grade."
