Black pastors across the country dwelt on President Barack Obama’s stance during worship services Sunday, after Obama’s May 9 announcement that he supports gay marriage.
The Rev. Emmett C.

It a shame that a man who says he is called by God to preach His word. If you believe the bible is God’s word but you will sell your Christian birth right for someone will fill your stomach then you are an Esau. Shame on you.

The Reverend Emmett Burns has every right to his political beliefs.
But the irony is that he is also a politician and in his capacity of office holder he is doing so much to stifle freedom.
He has gone as far as trying to prevent a Ravens football player to exercise his First Amendment Rights because he supports Marriage Equality.
government should not be in the business of limiting freedom.
