Interesting Quote(s): Benjaimn Jealous

Benjamin is the president of the NAACP

"I hope this will be a game-changer. There is a game being played right now to try and enshrine discrimination in state constitutions across this county, and if we can change that game and help ensure that our country's more recent tradition of using federal and state constitutions to expand rights continues, we will be very proud of our work."
 ...............

"We want it to be on record that the NAACP firmly opposes all efforts to restrict marriage equality. Civil marriage, like all civil rights provided by the government, must be provided equally to all."

The Coalition of African American Pastors wants President Obama to Drop his Gay Marriage Support

These fools just can't get it together. A group of Black pastors are asking President Obama to drop his support of gay marriage.

It's not a lot of them, but supposedly they are very influential in the Black community. They got together in Memphis to talk about this big danger of marriage equality.

"The group of black clergy and civil rights leaders say it is time to turn the tide against the 'hijacking' of the civil rights movement," said the Rev. Bill Owens, the coalition's elder statesman and organizer and a veteran of the civil rights movement who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King. "A 50-year-old can only read about the struggles and protests of the civil rights era, but some of us who are older have the battle scars to prove it. And the rights we fought so hard to acquire did not include same-sex marriage."

The coalition argues that there is "no legitimate comparison between skin color and sexual behavior."

The black ministers who came together represent a wide spectrum of religious and political beliefs and many of the pastors have been ardent supporters of President Obama and Democratic causes. But same-sex marriage is where they draw the line.

Owens told The Christian Post that they are "very disappointed" in Obama's newly pronounced support for gay marriage.

"We ask President Obama to stand with the black church, on the Word of God and evolve again back to the common sense biblical view that marriage is the union of husband and wife," he said.
Nonetheless, Owens said the group's goal is to stay away from the issue of whether or not the president will win a second term. "We want to stay away from the political part and stay in the realm of our area which is ministry."

I guess Rev. Bill Owens forgot that it was a gay man who organized the civil rights march and played a huge role in the overall movement.

I guess he also forgot that God's message was for all and not a chosen few.

And he should remember that slave masters used this same Godly rhetoric to keep Blacks in submission. So please, Rev. Bill Owens and the others get on the right side of this.

Santorum ended his campaign in Debt

Great news! The man who secretly wants to be pig f**ked by a Folsom Leather God, is in debt. Rick Sanotrum's campaign ended their journey with barely anything to spare.

HuffPo reports:

The presidential campaign of Rick Santorum ended with $2.2 million in debts and only $1 million cash on hand, according to a report filed with the Federal Election Commission on Sunday.

That amount of debt is up $300,000 from the $1.9 million the Santorum campaign reported at the end of March. The report for March was filed just 10 days before Santorum suspended his campaign citing a lack of funds to keep going. He had $1.8 million cash on hand at the time.

Santorum tried to hang in there, but those sweater vest was selling enough.  Plus, Romney has money to burn, none of the candidates could keep up with him.

But this serves Santorum right. His anti-gay message failed to pay the bills. Now his family will have to get jobs at the local Mervyns to pay for daddy's failure.
