Homosexual Adoption: McCain-Obama
It has become clear that McCain and Obama have very different views on most of the important issues.
From dealing with terrorist nations, the war in Iraq and homeland security in general, they have very different ideas.
They also view marriage and family very differently.
Last month in an interview with The New York Times, Senator McCain said openly that he is opposed to adoption by homosexual couples.
Now Obama, anxious to further strengthen his relationship with gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transsexuals, has responded to a letter written by Jennifer Chrisler, Executive Director of the Family Equality Counsel, a homosexual lobby group, demanding his response to McCain's comments.
The New York Times, last month, asked John McCain, "President Bush believes that gay couples should not be permitted to adopt children. Do you agree with that?"
McCain replied, "I think we've proven that both parents are important in the success of a family. So, no I don't believe in gay adoption."
"I encourage adoption," McCain said, "Cindy and I are proud of being adoptive parents."
The Times probed further, "But your concern would be that the couple should be a traditional couple?"
McCain answered, "Yes."
Anxious to reaffirm his support of the homosexual lobby, Obama has responded to a letter from Jennifer Chrisler, Executive Director of the Family Equality Counsel, which demanded his response to McCain's comments published earlier in the New York Times and particularly McCain's position on homosexual adoption. (View link).
In his letter, Obama once again affirmed his support of homosexual adoptions and his intent to repeal DOMA.
It's interesting that Obama, in his attempt to identify with the homosexual community, identifies his own upbringing with a single mom and grandparents with the "gay families" and the "Vast array of diverse traditions, cultures and history in America."
He says, "We have to do more to support and strengthen LGBT families, because equality in relationships, family and adoption rights is not some abstract principle...".
Does he mean the biblical model of family is abstract?
"That's why," Obama writes, "we have to repeal laws like the Defense of Marriage Act."
Obama is intent on "turning the page," embracing "change" and leading America into his brave new world of extreme liberal progressive abandonment from what has served humanity and this nation well. Very well.
It doesn't seem to matter to Obama or his followers what may be best for the children.
Dr. Trayce Hansen has done extensive research in the arena of homosexual parenting and on how homosexuals influence the children they raise. And how they deny the results of certain studies.
I am giving you a link to her web site. Her studies are both extensive and lengthy, but if you care about these things, it is well worth the time to read. She has gone to great length to include studies by pro-homosexual groups.
Her conclusion is that, "Pro-homosexual researchers frequently claim studies find 'no' differences between children raised by homosexuals and heterosexuals. Amazingly, these claims are made in the abstracts of research studies that actually uncovered differences. The tendency to deny or downplay differences has been noted by pro-homosexual parenting researchers."
She says, "After reviewing 21 studies, [researchers] Stacey and Biblarz concluded that in regard to gender, sexual behavior and sexual preference, homosexually parented children ARE different than from heterosexual parented children."
She says despite these findings, many who are interested in galvanizing support for the homosexual agenda, including access to fertility services, adoption, custody and same-sex marriage, continue to proclaim there is no difference.
And this would define the brave new world of Barack Obama in regard to the family.
Is it ignorance? Or is it just politics?
Who knows?
God help us.

Yes McCain and Obama do view marriage and family very differently. Obama married a woman, had children with her and remains married to her. McCain, on the other hand, married a woman and had a child with her. This woman stood faithfully by him for years while he was a POW. Upon his release, McCain (apparently displeased that his wife Carol - a former model- had been in a car crash and the resulting surgeries had left her 4" shorter) conducted an affair of several months with a rich hieress. McCain then secured a wedding license to Cindy a month before his divorce to Carol was final- committing bigamy!
So, ask yourself this, who better matches your ideal of marriage and family, the guy who has been faithful to his wife and family, or the man who conducted an adulterous affiar before finally leaving his faithful spouse and children?

Thanks for reminding us of the truth - and the true difference between Obama and McCain. Barack Obama obviously models God's call to a committed marriage of a man and a woman. John McCain models an adulterous philanderer with no commitments except his own ego to have one of those storybook, trophy blond wives who is 15 years younger than he is.
I now remember reading the story on John McCain's brutal dumping of his first wife - obviously a very committed woman (reflecting the call of God in a marriage) - I could only think of the heartache that John McCain caused his former wife - and how she wasted her precious life on this miserable wretch.
Admittedly I am surprised that a man of God who maintains godly ethics such as Gary would not condemn John McCain in the strongest possible terms - but instead support him. I find this disturbing - hopefully he will step up to the call of God to condemn John McCain for his evil behavior.
Thanks

Nothing in my right hand, nothing in my left...nothing up my sleeve...
It is a common tactic to distract the reader from the true point.
Obama WANTS gay marriange and adoption. He said it in person and in writing.
Mccain, so far, does not.
That is the real point here.
On the issue you bring up, the ideal situation is for a child to have a mommy and a daddy. A child with just dad or mom would be better than without dad and mom.
I have not seen a argument that two men would be any better than one man.
This may be mute point though ... linked to this post from Jeremiah Films' Prop 8 does not affect rights
"Yes McCain and Obama do view marriage and family very differently. Obama married a woman"
Looks like their personal beliefs are quite similiar . I would say Edwards also , but obviously how much pain and hurt their is when you go out of that plan . You leave your self open to cheap shots like yours , plus all the grief and pain to your family members .
I feel bad for Mrs. Edwards , and yes even John Edwards . I believe in those kinds of things everyone becomes a victim . Whoops you were ridiculing mccain not Edwards . Does it matter . your just ridiculing family members because of politics aren't you ?
Obviously those who have never have touched by divorce or unfaithfullness can not understand . Or are you just so callous because of it ?
Following God's plan is not meant as your going to hell unless you do , we should follow it because we get ourselves in a world of hurt and confusion if we don't .

It is interesting how Liberals (especially the gays and lesbians) are always crying out about their right to choose. What about the right of a child who was conceived by a MAN and A WOMAN (not concieved by a man and man or a woman and woman)? Doesn't that child have the right to be raised by a WOMAN and a MAN who made it possible for him/her to be in this world?!? Why do gays and lesbians proceed to make it THEIR RIGHT to force the child to live in a situation that isn't "normal to the child"? Children should be raised according to how they were conceived. If they must live with two homosexual men or two lesbian women then they should be at an age where they can CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES! A child needs a mother and father, not two mommies or two daddies.
hmm==how would you be after years in a prison camp---McCain has admitted 'wrong' in his past. WE all have past 'wrongs'--without exception.
In the last decade, he has live a 'clean' life with his present wife, and have been effective in the legislature, raised a beautiful family, and even adopted a sweet child from a forign country. His wife does numerous charities, and also lives a 'clean' life. No, I choose to NOT throw that 'first stone' of jugdement--it would come back to me--that would hurt!
Seriously, McCain is a 'mans man', who has experienced and survived prison, and I might add, has a resume a mile long, compared to Obama's tiny resume, and can't hold a candle to McCains experience, and most importantly, calmness, intellegence, wisdom, and yes, he is among many with the new
'70's that is healthy and still have the ability to lead!
When Obama has been through what McCain went through in the direct service of our country, then I think at that point it will be OK to compare how they handle the stress that most of us don't know anything about.
McCain has been very forthright about his failings in the area of marriage and family, and doesn't "point fingers" at anyone. However he does have the courage to support the biblical standard of marriage, which obviously for all Obama's claims of being a Christian, Obama does not.
Until Obama has served in a POW camp for 5+ years on behalf of our country and we know how he handles the pressure, I suggest we all "shut up" when comparing the two men on torture, trauma, separation, and its effect on marital fidelity.
And by the way, McCain's marital mistakes have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with whether homosexuals should be able to adopt kids or not. President Bush has the same view, and he's been married to the same lady for more years than Senator Obama. There are people on both sides of the issue with successful marriages, and those with adultery in their past (or even present) but it does not change what God says about marriage in His word.
As usual, when the facts are allowed to come out such as in the studies in Gary's column show, biblical values are the way to go even when those values are offensive to those who are lost.
I pray you will find the truth someday because as things get tougher in this world you will need it.
And whether you realize it now or not, I am:

P.S. Sorry I forgot to identify my town on the last post; I'm from Camas.
It is all words if you can't live it out - McCain didn't.
Continuing to live in sin as he is in an adulterous relationship is NOT a "beautiful family". Jesus said when you divorce your wife and marry another, then you are committing adultery. Period.
You are simply excusing this sinful wretch because of political convenience rather than submitting yourself - and him - to the wise counsel of God.
The end thereof is death!

im still waiting to hear how the parents of the same gender provide a less nurturing less ;loving environmemnt for raising children.
history is filled with people wjho excelled in my body and spirit who were raised by a single relative.......grandmother, aunt, father, concerned neighbor,etc. where is the indication they were limited by being raised by a single gender.
there was none, because caregiver having received the love of god in his heart( he loved us believers first) in the SPIRIT of that love, loved themselves and those they were parenting.
how is it that a believer could possibly put such limitations on that love that is credited with everything, and when 1cor13 says that anything without love is nothing and gains nothing.
1cor13:4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8LOVE...........NEVER FAILS.
where in scripture does it put limitations on the agape love that is god?
where does it say, that even if a child is raised in the love that is god, there is something else that is required to be god's best.
OBAMA SUPPORTS SAME-SEXERS
Google "Americans for Truth," scroll down to "Zombietime," and click on "Up Your Alley Fair"! After you recover, Yahoo "God to Same-Sexers: Hurry Up" on the "ucmpage" listing (even Jesus told Judas to hurry up - John 13:27). See all of this before the predicted California earthquake happens a la Rev. 16:19 ("the cities of the nations fell") !
