Obama’s stand on gay marriage IS NOW FULLY EVOLVED!

The president’s stand on gay marriage is now fully
evolved! After languishing in the primordial ooze for
several years, it learned to walk on all fours, and
finally stood upright.

And the consensus seems to be this ranks somewhere
between the Pope apologizing to Galileo and FDR
popularizing the hot dog. But let’s remember, he also said
he doesn’t think this is a federal issue.

“I continue to believe this is an issue that is going
to be worked out at the local level,” said Obama.

And he doesn’t condemn well-meaning people who see it
differently.

“Many of them are not coming at it from mean-spirited
perspective, a bunch of them are friends of mine.”

In short, he was simply expressing a personal belief.

“For me personally, it is important for me to go ahead
and affirm.”

It’s just your personal belief. We get it. But what
we really want to know from our politicians is, how much
more freedom are you planning to take away from us? Which
is why this debate is so strange. Because this is the one
issue that’s become controversial because people think it
expands freedom too much!

So I’ll be curious to see if any other politicians
evolve. Like those politicians who consider the
government unfit to control health care, but who think it
is fit to control consensual human love.

As was pointed out by several commentators, North
Carolina is a state that will let you marry your
heterosexual first cousin and have kids together, but
which prohibits a non-reproductive marriage with your gay
cousin.

A position like that is not only not evolved, it’s not
even Intelligently Designed!
