===Guantanamo===

As the Democratic candidate for president Obama pledged on numerous occasions to countless audiences closing the [[Guantanamo Bay]] Detention facility housing uncharged captured combatants in order to "regain America's moral stature in the world." <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQXZoM__vU0 60 Minutes: Obama Reiterates Promise To Close Guantanamo Bay], [[60 Minutes]]</ref> After assuming office, Obama made a budget request to transfer the detainees to the [[United States]] without specifying where the detainees would be held. The Democratic-controlled Congress repudiated Obama by denying funding for that transfer, and leaders from both parties spoke against it.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/20/us/politics/20detain.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 Democrats in Senate Block Money to Close Guantánamo], [[The New York Times]]</ref> Obama then endorsed indefinite detention without trial.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/05/21/AR2009052104045.html Obama Endorses Indefinite Detention Without Trial for Some], Peter Finn, [[Washington Post]], May 22, 2009.</ref>

~~====Identity liberty vs belief liberty====~~

−

Prof. Chai Feldblum, a Georgetown University law professor nominated by President Barack Hussein Obama to serve on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, has declared society should “come down on the side” of homosexual equality at the expense of religious liberty. Feldblum reasoned the conflict between the two is “irreconcilable,” religious liberty—also called "belief liberty"—must be placed second to the “identity liberty” of homosexuals.

Feldblum published her beliefs in an article entitled “Moral Conflict and Liberty: Gay Rights and Religion” in the Brooklyn Law Review in 2006. Feldblum recognizes that elements of the [[homosexual agenda]] may infringe on Americans’ religious liberties. “Protecting one group’s identity liberty may, at times, require that we burden others’ belief liberty. This is an inherent and irreconcilable reality of our complex society,” Feldblum wrote.<ref>[https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/59965 Obama’s EEOC Nominee: Society Should ‘Not Tolerate Private Beliefs’ That ‘Adversely Affect’ Homosexuals,] Matt Cover, [[CNSNews]], January 18, 2010.</ref>
