Obama's Gay Political Play

The "Stupid Female Voter" Strategy
"Marriage is ... in its origin a contract of natural law...
It is the parent, and not the child of society; the source of civility
and a sort of seminary of the republic." --Justice Joseph Story
There was much gayety among some political constituencies this week.
In advance of his annual proclamation of June as "National Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month," or more accurately, "Gender Confusion Month,"
Barack Hussein Obama ceremonially announced his support for so-called
"gay marriage." I note "ceremonially" because while this purely
political announcement had no effect on the legal status of homosexual
relationships, it certainly moved the needle to the left in regard to
the moral status of such "unions."
This proclamation came on the heels of North Carolina joining 29
other states by resoundingly approving a state constitutional amendment
affirming the natural definition of marriage. Obama barely won North
Carolina in 2008, and Democrats are holding their national convention
there this year as they endeavor to retain that state's electoral votes
and pick up some around it. Thus, one would think his announcement was
ill-timed, unless there is a larger strategy in the works -- and indeed
there is.
So why did Obama really go public with his support for the gay marriage agenda?
Certainly not to win the votes of homosexuals -- Obama already has
them kowtowing in reverence, particularly after repealing the military's
"Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
ban, and refusing to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act as duly passed
by Congress and signed into law in 1996 by none other than Bill
Clinton.
Most certainly not to win the votes of his sycophantic socialist cadres
-- they will vote for Obama regardless of his position on social issues
as long as his political platform is bent on redistributing wealth from
income earners and delivering it to his most loyal constituents, those
enslaved on the Democrats' government welfare plantation.
The calculus behind Obama's endorsement of "gay marriage" is twofold.
First, he genuinely supports and identifies with homosexuals, and they
with him -- indeed one in six of Obama's big-money "bundlers" is
homosexual. He first signaled his desire to redefine this building block
of human civilization back in 1996. But his identification with
homosexuals is subordinate to his second motive, a political calculation
that he believes will ensure his 2012 re-election -- and that
re-election is critical to his macro agenda of "fundamentally
transforming the United States of America."
Let's analyze Obama's reasoning on both counts.
This psychological profile would surprise only those who are blinded,
either by their cultish devotion to Obama or their shared pathology.
Newsweek Magazine certainly affirmed this diagnosis with its cover
this week "outing" Obama's homosexual proclivity. It featured a photo of
BO sporting a rainbow halo and the caption, "The First Gay President." In reality, however, there is nothing "gay" about gender disorientation.
Attempting to explain his rationale, Obama said, "[Michelle and I]
are both practicing Christians and ... you know, when we think about our
faith, the thing at root that we think about is not only Christ
sacrificing himself on our behalf, but it's also the Golden Rule, you
know, treat others the way you would want to be treated. ... I was
sensitive to the fact that for a lot of people, the word 'marriage' was
something that evokes very powerful traditions, religious beliefs and so
forth."
He continued, "But I have to tell you ... when I think about members
of my own staff who are in incredibly committed monogamous same-sex
relationships, who are raising kids together -- when I think about those
soldiers or airmen or Marines or sailors who are out there fighting on
my behalf, and yet feel constrained even now that 'Don't Ask, Don't
Tell' is gone because they're not able to commit themselves in a
marriage ... it is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think
same-sex couples should be able to get married."
Responding to his first rationale, I'd be negligent if I didn't
challenge Obama's incredibly narcissistic assertion that "soldiers or
airmen or Marines or sailors [are] fighting on my behalf," rather than
correctly understanding that they are fighting in accordance with their
solemn oaths to "support and defend" our Constitution. Obama, of course, has affirmed the same obligation by oath but has vigorously refused to honor it.
But the core problem with Obama's "golden rule" reasoning is that his
"faith" as a "practicing Christian" was mentored by another
pathological narcissist, Jeremiah Wright, with whom Obama identifies
most closely as "a father figure." Wright inculcated Obama with the "Marxist social gospel of hate, the antithesis of genuine Christianity. Thus, Obama's understanding of Christianity assumes that Jesus was a socialist.
Moreover, as with all narcissists, the faith expression of Wright and
Obama is self-centered -- nothing more than a manifestation shaped by
their own deity.
Not only is Obama's faith deeply flawed in regard to homosexuality,
but many people of authentic Christian upbringing are also confused
about this issue. For a brief but comprehensive perspective on how
Christians should respond to the notion of "gay marriage," read Gender Identity, The Homosexual Agenda and The Christian Response.
Regarding Obama's second and more important reason for announcing his
support for the homosexual marriage agenda, Leftist Sen. Dick Durbin
(D-ILL) concluded, "I don't think it was a political calculation. ... I
think it was a matter of conscience." Of course, Durbin knows that this
was both "a matter of conscience," as outlined previously, and "a political calculation."
The Obama campaign's internal polling numbers are not looking good,
especially with the one group of voters who have represented more than
half of all votes cast since 1960 -- women. The female vote will determine the victor in the 2012 presidential election.
Though a female majority elected Obama in 2008, the Democrats' gender
advantage is declining. In the 2010 midterm elections, for the first
time in recent history, a majority of women voted Republican. Given the
estimate that women drive more than 60 percent of financial decisions in
the home, Obama's dismal approval ratings on issues related to economic
recovery may cost him the election. That is, unless he can regain a
majority of women voters by diverting their focus to other issues --
especially what he sees as a "winning" issue among women, homosexual
advocacy.
Thus, Obama's gay political play, at its core, cynically assumes that
a majority of women are too stupid to rise above their emotive
compassion for, and identity with, effeminate men -- like Obama. This
assumption is the overarching political strategy behind Obama's
announcement, and it is confirmed beyond reasonable doubt by Demo-gogue
Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), who fallaciously insists that "there's
no political calculus" behind Obama's gay marriage endorsement.
How important is the "stupid women" strategy to Obama's long-term political objective?
The transformation of our nation into a Socialist state is predicated
on the success of Obama's effort to destabilize the three pillars of Essential Liberty: Constitutional Liberty, Economic Liberty and Individual Liberty.
As for the third pillar, Obama knows that the most effective method
of undermining Individual Liberty is to erode the integrity of faith and family.
To the degree that our nation's faith foundation is undermined, the
principle that Liberty is "endowed by our Creator" is enfeebled. To the
extent that the "Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" are abjectly
violated by redefining marriage, which in turn upends the basic building
block of a free society, the family, the consequence is the decay of
individual Liberty.
The notion that marriage and family are the foundation of society is
older than Christ's teaching on the subject. In the words of Marcus
Tullius Cicero (circa 50 B.C.), "[T]he first principle of society
consists in the marriage tie, the next in children, the next in a family
within one roof, where everything is in common. This society gives rise
to the city, and is, as it were, the nursery of the commonwealth."
The bottom line for Obama and his Leftist cadres: Female voters will
determine the outcome of the 2012 presidential election. Beyond all the
topical rhetoric about redefining marriage, if Obama is correct in his
calculation that a majority of women voters can be distracted from
critical issues like Liberty and economy, his gambit on the gay
political play will be a winner. Don't take that bet.
