OBAMA: Message down in flames

Recently a Malaysian airplane was shot down by a Russian missile killing all 298 people aboard. The next day, July 18, President Obama addressed the American people and the world offering words of concern, sympathy and support — especially to those who lost loved ones.

The problems in the Ukraine and the Middle East are extremely serious issues. However, toward the end of his speech the president again offered his support for same-sex unions and asked us, the American people, to join him by supporting people who are sexually different.

Regardless of our beliefs about sexual deviancy this was a most inappropriate time to address this issue. The total of all previous presidents never mentioned this subject as often as our current president. This president has a way of taking advantage of every opportunity to force his immoral sexual agenda on the citizens of America. It’s time he stops trying to persuade the American people that same-sex unions are normal. Enough is enough!
