In a mass e-mail sent out to supporters by the Democrat Party,
Obama admits for the first time that he lied to voters
repeatedly about his views on marriage. In fact, if his latest
claims are to be believed, Obama has actually been lying to
voters for decades, going all the way back to when he launched
his political career in the home of Castro-backed communist
terrorist Bill Ayers. Despite proudly lying to voters all those
years when he claimed to believe in the sacredness of what is
today called “traditional” marriage, Obama admitted that one of
the reasons he got into politics was to radically change the
definition and meaning of the institution underpinning human
civilization for millenia.

“To me, creating a more perfect union means doing everything we
can possibly do as leaders to make our kids' lives a little
better than our own,” Obama said in the e-mail. “To decide that,
in this country, health care is a right, not a privilege. To
secure the right of marriage equality under the law for every
American, no matter who they love. To help make sure our
grandkids inherit a healthy planet. All of these things, and so,
so many more, are why I got into politics in the first place.”

Leaving aside the dangerous misunderstanding of what a right
actually is, the admission, if true, means Obama lied his way
into every elected office he has ever held. The first time Obama
admitted to believing homosexuals could be “married” was in May
of 2012, in the fourth year of his presidency. “I've been going
through an evolution on this issue,” he declared in an
“historic” interview with a fawning ABC interviewer. “At a
certain point, I've just concluded that, for me personally, it
is important for me to go ahead and affirm that I think same-sex
couples should be able to get married.”

Contrast that with his earlier statements. “I believe marriage
is between a man and a woman,” he said in 2008 on MTV. “I am not
in favor of gay marriage.” Also in 2008, during a presidential
debate moderated by megachurch pastor Rick Warren, Obama went
even further. “I believe that marriage is the union between a
man and a woman,” he said. “Now, for me as a Christian, it is
also a sacred union. God's in the mix.” In 2010, he told liberal
bloggers that he still believed in traditional marriage. He said
he was opposed to homosexual “marriage” in 2004, too. In 2011,
when a 1996 questionnaire Obama filled out admitting support for
destroying marriage was uncovered, White House Director of
Communications Dan Pfeiffer said it had been completed by
somebody else and that Obama “has never favored same-sex
marriage.”

But according to Obama's e-mail today, all of that was actually
a lie — he was just deceiving “stupid” voters, as ObamaCare
architect John Gruber called Americans, to get elected and
advance his extremist agenda that could never advance without
lies, deception, dishonesty, and sleazy machinations of all
kinds.

Of course, it is not the first time Obama has been exposed lying
about his views on marriage. According to Obama campaign
operative David Axelrod's book Believer: My Forty Years in
Politics, Obama lied to voters about his position on marriage
because it would haved been political suicide to tell the truth.
“Opposition to gay marriage was particularly strong in the black
church, and as he ran for higher office, he grudgingly accepted
the counsel of more pragmatic folks like me, and modified his
position to support civil unions rather than marriage, which he
would term a ‘sacred union,’” Axelrod boasted, admitting that he
encouraged Obama to lie.

Obama also lied about the process he said should be used to
redefine and undermine marriage across America. “What you're
seeing is, I think, states working through this issue, in fits
and starts, all across the country. Different communities are
arriving at different conclusions, at different times,” he said
in the 2012 ABC interview in which he spoke of the “evolution”
in his public position (i.e. lies). “And I think that's a
healthy process and a healthy debate. And I continue to believe
that this is an issue that is gonna be worked out at the local
level, because historically, this has not been a federal issue,
what's recognized as a marriage.” Just a few years later, his
administration was urging the Supreme Court to ignore the
Constitution and the American people in order to falsely and
ridiculously declare homosexual “marriage” to be a
“constitutional right.”

As the late Justice Scalia explained in his dissent in
Obergefell v. Hodges, though, the decision may well backfire,
with Americans realizing that the court has radically
overstepped its bounds. If and when that happens, the American
people, through their representatives in Congress or at the
state level, could work to put the lawless court in its place,
nullifying its illegal edicts, reining in its usurped
jurisdiction, and working to constitutionally put it in its
constitutional place. With “each decision ... unabashedly based
not on law,” Scalia warned, the Court moves “one step closer to
being reminded of [its] impotence.”

Beyond the marriage issue, Obama has been caught lying
repeatedly. Perhaps most infamously, he told Americans that they
could keep their doctors and their health insurance plans if
they liked them, knowing this was a lie. “We will keep this
promise to the American people,” Obama declared in the summer of
2009 as he was trying to sell the radical overhaul of the U.S.
healthcare system to a skeptical public. “If you like your
doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you
like your healthcare plan, you will be able to keep your
healthcare plan. Period.” He knew, even while saying that, that
it was not true, as official documents later revealed and the
White House admitted.

Of course, the Obama lies outlined in this article only scratch
the surface of the problem. Lying appears to be a way of life
for Obama and the corrupt cabal that surrounds him. From climate
alarmism and abortion to the war on gun rights and beyond, Obama
has shown that he will lie with impunity if he believes it will
advance his radical agenda to “fundamentally transform” America.
In short, to Obama, the ends justify the means — even if those
means involve lies. For a Christian, as Obama claims to be, that
is absurd.

While constant lying is common among the political class of both
parties, that Obama brags about lying to Americans in a public e-
mail says a great deal about the man who claims to see virtually
no limits on his usurped power. In short, he lacks morals, and
cannot be trusted under any circumstances. In fact, his brazen
lies throw into question the legitimacy of everything his
administration has done while in office.

In his e-mail boasting of his lies on homosexual “marriage,”
Obama said he believed the “progress” that has been forced on
Americans via lies and lawlessness could be protected from the
American people's growing outrage. “I believe we can go further,
and make America even brighter for generations to come,” he
said. “But if we're going to do that, we've got to elect
Democrats to the White House, to Congress, and to statehouses
all across the country.” For the sake of liberty and
constitutional government, Americans had better hope he is wrong.

The question that must be asked now: What else is Obama lying
about?
