'We May Have a Civil War'

Looks like former DC Mayor Marion Barry isn't down with gay marriage, much like the black voters in California that helped Prop 8 pass overwhelmingly.

D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8), the only council member to vote against the bill today to legalize same-sex marriages performed elsewhere, predicted today there could be a "civil war" in the District if the Council decides to take up a broader gay marriage bill later this year.

"All hell is going to break lose," Barry said while speaking to reporters. "We may have a civil war. The black community is just adamant against this."

Therein lies the dirty little secret the left and gay marriage proponents don't want to accept. But since they take the black vote for granted they really have nothing to worry about. Besides, the media won't be much interested in pursuing this angle inasmuch as they'd prefer to focus on destroying a beauty pageant contestant.

"What you've got to understand is 98 percent of my constituents are black and we don't have but a handful of openly gay residents," Barry said. "Secondly, at least 70 percent of those who express themselves to me about this are opposed to anything dealing with this issue. The ministers think it is a sin, and I have to be sensitive to that."

Since both Barry and the other Barry, President Obama, are both opposed to gay marriage, why do not I hear condemnation of their stance on the issue by the same stormtroopers busy trashing Carrie Prejean?
