Here We Go Again: Black GOP Pastors Launch Anti-Obama Campaign Over Gay Marriage [Video]

The black community has, understandably, had mixed reactions to President Obama’s support of same s*x marriage. New polling suggests that most blacks are on the same page with President Obama. But that hasn’t stopped some members of the black clergy who disagree with Obama’s stance on gay marriage  from moving full steam ahead in their opposition.

A group of mostly conservative black ministers have launched a nationwide campaign in response to President Obama’s support of same s*x marriage.

CNN reports:

The Rev. Williams Owens, who is president and founder of the Coalition of African-Americans Pastors and the leader of the campaign, has highlighted opposition to same-s*x marriage among African-Americans. He calls this campaign “an effort to save the family.”

“The time has come for a broad-based assault against the powers that be that want to change our culture to one of men marrying men and women marrying women,” said Owens, in an interview Tuesday after the launch event at the National Press Club. “I am ashamed that the first black president chose this road, a disgraceful road.”

According to Owens, there are 3,742 ministers on board with his movement. Owens continued: “We are going to go nationwide with our agenda just like the president has gone to Hollywood.”

In a May interview with ABC’s Robin Roberts, President Obama, who had previously been against gay marriage, came out on behalf of it.

Owens has been a conservative opponent of gay marriage for a long time, so his position is not new. Owens also isn’t taken seriously by some because he has a propensity for making insulting comments about the gay community. For instance, Owens said that by supporting same s*x marriage, the president is supporting molestation of young boys.

“If you watch the men who have been caught having s*x with little boys, you will note that all of them will say that they were molested as a child…” Owens said. “For the president to condone this type of thing is irresponsible.”

Something tells me this movement will end with a fizzle instead of bang.

    Rev Owens is right, abortion, feminist and homosexuality are three of the manay things destroying the Black community and the US , There is a book calle the Protocols of the elder zionist, which was written inthe late 1700′s and it talks about everything that is happening today and why.

      BRAVO!! Its been a long time since I’ve read the protocols of zion. This post is of the more accurate because this social experiment on desensitizing society to this gay agenda is on point.

    Do Christian congregations follow their own thoughts and pray for their own discerment or do they amen the Pastor and follow his lead on issues. It seems as if the black band of ministers would rather break ties with the President and join in support of Romney. Still believing that America and lady liberty has peeked from under her eye covering and balanced her scales justly and declared racism is not an issue. White America is doing very well in what it always has done best with the black population, divide, convince we are all one, and same-s*x anything is bigger than the continued splinter of the black family. Come together ministers for HIV awareness, children having babies, crime, unemployment, young men prison and other worthwhile issues.

    I don’t believe in same s*x marriage in no shape, form or fashiion. I don’t know what reason the President gave for saying such a thing other than getting votes.
    Just because he says it’s alright for same s*x marriage don’t mean I will not give him my support. We truly disagree on that subject. I do believe we have more to deal with than what he said about same s*x marriage. Send money to support his campain because Mittch and his grew will do every thing to pull the people of color down. You can see that some is still talking about his birthcirtificate. Do you see any people of color in his possy?

    Prejudices is like cancer…it kills. Knowlege is power and is saddening in this age that these black pastors referred here in this article do not understand that educated President Obama made his decision based on genetic medical knowlege that to be gay, in most cases, is not a choice. Being Black is not a choice—we were born this way, like wise being gay. The God I pray to is a good kind and loving God who does not judge.Therefore why live a hypocritical life as so many black gay pastors do – marry women- yet sleep with men. Be real people. Anger and hatred kills us inside. Love and understanding that God is within each and every one of us, whose private life must be lived the way we feel fit once we are not affecting another.

    What does gay marriage have to do with those pastors passing the PLATE around on Sunday?

    Apparently these ministers don’t believe in any kind of marriage since 90% of their congregations aren’t married to anybody and 95% of the children in their churches are born out of wedlock or live in single parent households. These ministers are hoes, they take republican money to do corporations’ dirty work.

    This is the most assinine and destructive thing these blind fools can do! Are any of these hypocrites willing to stand up and tell every gay member of their church to get up and leave? h**l no! because they want their tithes. They selectively take certain things from the bible and omitt others, such as adultery and the idol worship of money. By going against Obama over something as silly as equal rights for gay people they are conviently ignoring the fact that mitt is going to rape their congragation of healthcare and their medicare and medicaid. When their tithes start drying up they will see .

    Oh one more thing, how can they support a person that less than 40 years ago thought that we were considered to be the “cursed people”? Do you really think that after years of preaching this that all of the sudden mitt has a change of heart? He even hinted that when he went to Great Britian when he insinuated that Obama could not relate to the Anglo Saxon culture (read: white)

    We as black people need to wake up and quit being led by some of these misled preachers and pastors who are willing to cut off our heads because someone else coughed.

    Divide and Conquer!!! In there are 6 Cardinal Principles for Making a Negro:
    #1 Both horse and n***** are no good to the economy in the wild or natural state
    #2 Both must be broken and tied together for orderly production
    #3For the orderly futures, special and particular attention must be paid to the female and the young offspring.
    #4 Both must be crossbred to produce a variety of division of labor
    #5 Both must be taught to respond to a particular new language
    #6 Psychological and physical instruction of containment must be created for both .

    The letter continues to address: “Lets Make a Slave”, “The Breaking Process of the African Woman”, “The Negro Marriage Unit”, “Warning: Possible Interloping Negatives”, “Controlled Language”.

    Instead of banding together to defeat the ONLY president who has tried to change in improve our lives, we might want to immerse ,ourselves in grass roots efforts to support him, to change our condition, and to fight for our right to self-determination. The President is not trying to redefine your beliefs, but only trying to in its truest form, support individual rights and freedoms of all the citizens in the United States.

    Congratulations: Willie Lynch no longer has to educate those against us. Let us continue to do it to ourselves.

    I suggest that some of you do research on what the effects of open gay sexuality and marriage will have on this culture. So many think that they will “do them” and I will “do me” and their lifestyles will have no affect on my personal life.

    Well, once homosexuality and gay marriage become just other things on the s****l landscape, then be prepared to have gay culture immersed in every aspect of our lives to include our children’s traditional education and s*x education, our television programming in more sexually explicit ways than are already televised, in our ability to have an opinion that may be publicized and can affect our careers or ability to provide for our families to freedom to practice our faith in every aspect of our lives.

    Because of religious reasons, some people do not believe in gay marriage and will now be sued if they don’t want to marry gays or provide services such as wedding cakes with same-s*x figures on top or photography, etc. All you professing your agreement with President Obama, may not be so happy if you suddenly want to object to gay intrusion in your personal lives, and find out that you can’t object and essentially don’t have a leg to stand on.

    Have any of you been watching the news lately and seen how almost every religious figure and symbol is being eradicated from the landscape and any figure that opposes the gay agenda is being demonized? You have been immersed in Christianity or religion all of your lives and now, all of a sudden, you are questioning or setting aside your beliefs to support a president that lied about his own!!! He lied because he never “evolved” on gay marriage. There is documentation that he supported it as early as 1996!!

    You want to give Obama a free pass because he is part black and a democrat when you would have been screaming from the rafters if he were white and neglected and distanced himself from our community over the last four years!!

    We already have major problems in the black community with fluid and down-low sexuality and some of the lowest heterosexual marriage rates in the country and some of us cannot even find mates and you want to push same-s*x marriage and gay rights into the mix? Our communtiy is certifiable because some of us fall for any and everything when, deep down, we know that it is not right for us or the direction of this country.

    For those of you who hold dissenting beliefs and values on this issue, but allow a man – a mere mortal- to come between you and your faith – your God, you will deserve what you get if Obama is elected for four more years because the homosexuals are already all over his administration in cabinet posts and other highly visible and powerful positions and they will be running this country and there will be nothing you can do to stop them.

    Then you will be looking for resources and voices from these “conservative” and “crazy” pastors to intercede on your behalf or the behalf of your child when he/she is being indoctrinated by some “free” gay teacher to influence his beliefs or being “turned out” by the “free” gay, bisexual or confused peer who gets a kick out of “turning out” as many people for “the team” as he/she can.

    Or, perhaps, you make what you believe to be an “innocent” comment but is perceived as “homophobic” by someone in your workplace or an event and you become embroiled in an EEO or public relations nightmare and have to fight to restore your dignity and good name; I will bet that it won’t be so funny then or outside of the boundaries of “common sense.”

    Some of you consider people on the opposite side of this issue to be crazy or conspiratorial. But, seriously, you should be very concerned about all of the “stuff” that will come out of this Pandora’s Box of gay culture that will influence our lives forever.

    And all this for what? A man who is suspect himself (google his Chicago years and find out) and may be living a sham life who is willing to destroy this country religiously and culturally and some of us are willing participants.

    Pastors who express and live their faith are not any more or less “in the closet” or on the down-low, unfaithful to their spouses or strung out on drugs as those who are proponents of same-s*x marriage. To use this tired excuse that “they are all sinful” is just an EXCUSE to justify demonization of those in the clergy and the black church because of their opposition to same-s*x marriage. If they are living a lie, then they will one day pay the ultimate price, as will we all.

    When we are drowning in a cultural wasteland of s****l fluidity and morality even worse than what we are witnessing now, remember to take a look in the mirror and you will have your answer!!!!

    We Are In Obama’s Dark Night !

    A night of spiritual, social, mental, and economic darkness that he’s created for us!
    Are you aware that Barack Hussein Obama can be found in the Bible?
    Proverbs 19:10 (NIV): “It is not fitting for a fool to live in luxury – how much worse for a slave to rule over princes!”
    Also Proverbs 30:22 (NIV) which says that the earth cannot bear up under “a servant who becomes king.”
    And Ecclesiastes 5:2-3 (KJV) advises: “let thy words be few…a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.”
    Although Obama is not descended from slaves, he may feel that he’s destined to become a black-slavery avenger.
    Or maybe an enslaver of all free citizens!
    For some stunning info on Obama and his fellow subversives, Google or MSN the newest versions of “Obama Promotes Public s*x,” “Michelle Obama’s Allah-day,” “David Letterman’s Hate Etc.,” “Un-Americans Fight Franklin Graham” and also “Sandra Bernhard, Larry David, Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Joan Rivers, Sarah Silverman.” Also Google “The Background Obama Can’t Cover Up” and “Prof. F. N. Lee’s ISLAM IN THE BIBLE [PDF].”
    PS – Since Christians are commanded to ask God to send severe judgment on persons who commit and support the worst forms of evil (see I Cor. 5 and note “taken away”), Christians everywhere should constantly pray that the Lord will soon “take away” or at least overthrow all US leaders who continue to sear their conscience and arrogantly trample the God-given rights of the majority including the rights of the unborn. Do we need a second American Revolution?

    There have always been “slaves,” Malcolm X mentions them – “Massah, we’s sick,” among we “captives.” To do anything that’ll help Tricky Mitt and SS Field Marshall Ryan gain the white house is throwing the baby out with the bath water. I KNOW that there is no possibility of Gay Marriage because “marriage” has four functions: 1) Intimate companionship; 2) Planning and building a shared future; 3) Maintaining community; and 4) Insuring that the species “humanity” continues to exist by exulting procreation. Gay marriage is an oxymoron, like “wheel less automobile, open bottomless boat, or (yes, this old joke) military intelligence. But I won’t hurt people opposing one man’s opinion on marriage. Actually, many churches’ tacit acceptance of gays in positions of leadership in the church is, in substantial ways, one cause of this situation. If your Pastor tells you to vote for Romney/Ryan, or to not vote at all and allow Romney/Ryan to win the presidency, understand that your Pastor is probably a sellout on the Teapublican payroll and find yourself another church. Obama will go to h**l on his own choices, don’t send our people to h**l on yours.

    I agree with the quotes from Willie Lynch. All black people should read this literature and see how we have been devided and conquered in a systematic manner. A known political strategy is diversion and this issue as topic has done that.
