Obama Defends DOMA; Invokes Incest, Rape, Child Marriage; Ditches Loving, Roemer, & Lawrence; And More That Will Make You Sick to Your Stomach

Dear Obama Supporters: I won’t wait for your apology. But you owe me one. A big one.

Just read — but don’t weep. Be pissed — at Obama, and at yourself if you voted for him in the primaries, and especially if you voted for him in the primaries and ever called anyone who disagreed with you a racist, a Hillbot, a Repuke troll, a PUMA, or any of your other terms of affection for anyone who dared warn you that Obama was a right-winger in a nice suit.

I get no satisfaction in saying, for the umpteenth time: I TOLD YOU SO.

Obama defends DOMA in federal court.

Says banning gay marriage is good
for the federal budget.

Invokes incest and marrying children.

Read the guts of the brief at the link, which Aravosis quotes at length, and breaks down into such arguments as:

• Incest and child rape cases make DOMA constitutional;

• DOMA is good because it saves the feds money;

• DOMA is constitutional (thus screwing us on any future lawsuits);

• DOMA is consistent with Equal Protection and Due Process principles;

• Gays have no constitutional right to marriage, or recognition of their marriages by other states;

• Praises DOMA as “cautiously limited”;

• Obama [comes] out against the Loving v. VA case that ensured that people like his parents could marry;
