In last year’s presidential election, Barack Obama won 70 percent of the gay vote, John McCain just 27 percent.
Does that kind of clearly dominant constituency — one that’s more politically-attuned than the rest of the electorate — come with any political obligation regarding gay rights? You bet it does, and this weekend Obama is acknowledging the debt.
On the eve of Sunday’s National Equality March, expected to draw thousands to Washington, he’s addressing the Human Rights Campaign, a national gay rights group.
...Marriage and the US military’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy on gay men and women in uniform remain the toughest issues for the nation — and especially for Obama.

Co-option by infiltration.
This, to me, is the biggest problem our Republic faces today. When both parties campaign, it is not about what is good for the Republic. It is what is good for the party or it is pandering to the particular self-centered special interest group that happens to be whining at that time.
It appears that way, but I see something more insidious: an agenda a long while in the making. By infiltrating and corroding the military, the leftists strike at the heart of what is great and strong about this nation. Every great society has needed moral boundaries and, when those are destroyed, so is the Nation.
I never thought I would say this, but I see now that homosexuality opens the door to other depravities without limit.

Thanks:) This caught my attention because I heard about that Patrick Murphy guy on NPR this morning: What a TRAITOR!!! But that’s how they work: infiltrate.
You bet.
Exposure works.
Soon the military will be no different from public school and completely useless to actually fight.
Excellent. See, I knew I pinged the right person. I think his claim to be “straight” is bogus. I guess he feels hugely successful now that Zer0-in-Chief is his mouthpiece.
Oh yeah, and special thanks to PA: First, Murtha and now Murphy. Sheesh!!
