    How come white men don't stand up against
    same sex marriage absurdity? Is it because our black brothers truly understand the significance
    being "for sale" ? Is it only they who understand that true freedom is not being bought and sold whether for slavery or from greed or presidential ambition. Do we now look to a race that whites once regarded as less worthy only to find that it is in our black brothers we find the greatest resevoir of courage.
    I am humbled by our black brothers. It is they that unabashedly affirm that our President looks to harm our country.How true.
    What an ironic insult to blacks who suffered for their civil rights to find the same term "civil right" applied when describing heinous rites that mimic true matrimony.

    I am sorry my people, you are begging in vein, this man is a fraud and he has already said he is not your black president. He couldn't care less about your vote, he has perverts, mexican, muslims, baby killers, unions and people of all races that that feed from the trough of the tax payers while setting on their sorry butts and would not work at a pie factory. You need to either stay at home November 6, or vote for the Republican. By now I hope you realize you are looking at the unmasked democrat party. Stop being fools my people and join us that has always known what the democrat party is all about.

    God Bless these blessed men for standing up to "King" Obama! They are so right...God created man and woman,and the institution of marriage is between one man, and one woman!
    As Christians ,we respect and Love our brothers and sisters,gay,or straight,but man has NO RIGHT to change the way he set for us to live!
    May President Obama be proud that he won votes (by changing his mind 100% "overnight") on this issue.The best way to take God`s side,is NOT to vote for King Obama.
    May God Bless these ministers!

    Thank God for those who are taking a stand for what the bible ordained concerning marriage. (A man and a woman).

    I think it's time for all of you to wake up and realize that this country is moving FORWARD. Eleven countries have now legalized same sex marriage. Studies show that acceptance of same-sex marriage and of the lgbt community in general is on the rise. Studies conducted in several countries also indicate that better-educated people are more likely to support the legalization of same-sex marriage than the less-educated, and younger people are more likely to support it than older generations. And guess what? I'm part of that younger generation and many more of us can now cast out ballot this november! :)

    Leonard, Obama would care about the votes of Black people if he knew that there was a chance of a significant portion of them swinging to Republicans.

    He knows that most Black people disagree with him on marriage, and that they'll support marriage at the voting booth. But he's also confident that they'll support Democrat candidates nonetheless.

    None of the special interest groups you listed would be able to compensate for a significant shift in the Black vote. Obama needs the Black vote, but it's hard for them to remember that because Black people, as a whole, are not a swing community in their voting.

    Such brave leaders portrayed here with spirit filled voices of truth! I honor them for stepping forward with an unpopular but truth filled message. My God bless us all with the courage and strength to move forward.

    It's a shame so many blacks are willing to support President Obama, the most pro-abortion/pro-homosexual president in the history of the U.S., simply based on the fact that he's black. If we looked into the abortion industry's history, specifically Margaret Sanger & the Eugenics movement & how it targeted blacks among the "undesirables" in society, it would bring a whole new perspective on how abortions affect the black community. Blacks here in America are largely a "church going" people, yet will STILL vote for a president who contradicts God's word & says he supports homosexual "marriage", and doesn't seem to care about the unborn. Why? Because our skin color is the same as his? My fellow black folks, when things are taught as acceptable to your children at school that you & them here preached every sunday (hopefully) as wrong in God's sight, then don't be suprised. When your money pays for the murder of unborn babies, in many cases, black babies, then don't be suprised. When it's thrown in your face, don't be suprised. Black people, for those of us who are saved, who is our allegiance to? God or government? Who is our Lord, Jesus Christ or President Obama?
    So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God-Romans 14:12

    Its moving forward in the wrong direction, and that is the same as going backwards.

    The sanctity of marriage must be upheld. Remember Sodom and Gomorrah? Despite the outcome of the US Gov., remember that Christ Jesus will have the final victory. Real love and true life is found in Christ. Remember, prayer is powerful and effective, so use it.

    Did not this same state of NC just a few months ago support man/woman marriage. As usual the Dems are deciding that homosexual bribe money trumps the will of the voters.
    Democracy is alright unless a militant group buys it off in the form of bribes.
