(28,784 posts)I see that he is repeating the same old conservative pov from the church for thousands of years. I used the phrase "father of lies" because that, the Pope said, is where equal rights for marriage for GLBT people comes from.
He also talks about women's roles as barefoot and pregnant at a time when any responsible person would talk about limiting family size to help reduce the number of humans leaving their footprints on this planet.
I find your questions are ridiculous, in terms of the way our government operates. They're just a way for you to come on to any thread and talk about Obama. yawn.
When someone says drugs are evil and we should not develop harm reduction approaches - that's calling for the same old same old.
Obama is not calling for the same old same old, but, in case you didn't know, the president isn't a dictator who can tell states what to do and have them do it. But don't let reality stop you from your quest to turn a OP about the recent Pope's remarks into yet another "but look... Obama!" subthread.
You are aware of the way laws are created and enacted and who has the authority to do what at federal or state levels, right? Your question is so stupid I wondered for a moment there. But I just assume again, it is what it is.
