Why is Miss Prejean being attacked for her view of marriage, while men like Obama get a pass from the thought police?

Miss Prejean is clear and unashamed that her beliefs are based on the authority of the Bible to define moral standards for all men for all time. Morality is determined by the moral authority of Almighty God, Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has revealed Himself to men and given us His Ten Commandments.
The legitimate bounds of human sexuality are given in the seventh commandment prohibiting adultery; that is, the intent of the Law is to maintain the integrety of the one flesh relationship within the marriage covenant. According to this commandment every other form of sexual expression is sin and carries with it the death penalty.
In Moses there is no mercy, but in Christ there is mercy and forgiveness. God is calling all men everywhere to repent and believe the Gospel.
The authority of Scripture supersedes all other authorities, including the state and the church. This is anathema to the statist and to the moral relativist. Their view cannot coexist with Miss Prejean’s view of an absolute morality; therefore she is persecuted for being intolerant.
This is spiritual warfare over authority. Who will rule our nation? Will it be ruled by the Law of Christ or by the autonomous wisdom of men?
