One hundred and sixty years ago, Democrats picked up guns and attempted to violently overthrow our government in the name of “States’ Rights.” They LOVED the 10th Amendment then because it suited their aim of keeping black people in chains. More recently, they have HATED the 10th Amendment that says, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people” when it has been cited by conservatives as grounds for various states to allow their citizens to refuse to be forced to buy individual health care insurance policies.
They HATE the 10th Amendment when Southern States argued that abortion should and could be prohibited within their borders because it is the right of a state to determine whether it will allow or prohibit abortions.
Now they LOVE the 10th Amendment because they see it as a way to run away from being forced to take a position on the question of support for gay “marriage.” “It should be up to the states,” says today’s crop of phony Democrats.
When Barack Obama made his quickly-thrown-together announcement declaring himself in favor of gay “marriage” he effectively ended any chance of reelection he might have had. His disingenuous support for states to decide the issue for themselves swung the Democrat weather vane back to LOVE for the 10thAmendment as evident from statements issued by Democrats up for reelection.
How the issue is playing
Despite liberal media talk about how “brave” Obama was to come out for gay “marriage,” the truth is that his announcement was a gift to those who want him and his Party defeated in November.
While Obama has improved to just a – 4 points against his Republican opponent – as per Rasmussen – once the issue settles in, it promises to be a deal breaker for many voters. A Gallup poll released Friday held that by a count of 26% to 13%, voters say they are less likely to vote for Obama – and by extension Democrats in general.
A 13% swing is huge – let no one say otherwise.
A net minus 13 points is a lethal number.
Hiding behind the 10th Amendment on gay “marriage” won’t help Obama get his foot out of this bucket no matter what the media says.

First of all don’t pay attention to “polls”. When a poll is taken, who pays for it? So, if you PAY to have a poll taken, do you not want the poll to point toward your agenda? So, the odds are that the polls just say what somebody’s AGENDA currently is, nothing more.
So, the current polls say obama is trouble. The Elite are probably “taking” these polls and I think it’s their way of telling obama that he’s not following their agenda and that if he doesn’t “get on the stick” soon, they’ll REPLACE him with a new puppet, romney, who is hardly different from obama.
In obama “evolving” to his new stance, I think he’s just going after the Lemming vote. Last time, the lemmings didn’t want to be called “racist” so they voted for him. If he’s bisexual (as is becoming accepted now) then the lemmings will be called “bigot” if they don’t vote for him and they can’t face that.
I agree with the points Kevin Collins has made in this article. Obama has effectively ended any chance of reelection in 2012. It is a well known fact that the vast majority of black voters are against gay marriage. Why would he risk losing votes in the black community to gain favor with a few homosexuals. The numbers of voters lost in the black community are not going to be made up with the gay marriage crowd. It will not even be close. I really think he is sabotaging his own campaign with all of the foolish things he has done and said over the past two weeks. All I can say is keep it up Obama. We have had all of you we can stand.
Although I can see that the Liberal Democrats serve as the most dangerous of the two factions, it has been awhile since I have read a more ignorant and historically inaccurate rant as this author has put forth in this article. Especially as he so ludicrously presents as causality of why the true Southern people rose up against the Northern Banking establishment, and other than the Plantationist & Democratic Party Racialist minority; keeping Blacks in chains as slaves was in no way associated with their cause.
The Democratic Party Elites have since the Party’s inception sought to employ racial difference as a political weapon, and continue to do so till this very day, however; it was never a cause embraced by the average Southern majority that fought the actual battles of the Civil War.
151 years ago the people of the south (not the state governments) voted to leave the union just as the citizens of the states voted to join the union some 50 years prior. The people still have that right. Linclon is held up as the savior of the union. I see him as a trampler of the constitution and made war upon the people who followed the constitution to leave. It was their right to leave. New York State was the first state threatning to leave the union in 1850. The sentiment of the south was that if they wanted to leave go ahead and leave. The nation has not been the same since that time because of Linclon and his policies.Big government then biggier government now. If you question this ask yourself why did let Jefferson Davis go 4 years later. Answer the supreme court at that time would have backed Davis and the Yankee States would have been on the hook for all the damages and loss of lfe.
