Oh, one more comment. A lot of folks don't seem to see what all this acceptance of the homosexual lifestyle is really all about. Gays aren't truly after equality—they want to *silence* and disenfranchise those who oppose their lifestyle. Their main goal is censorship, not “equal rights.” They couldn't care less about the First Amendment IMO. That's why it's naive to say, “Gays being in the military doesn't bother me.” If it doesn't bother a person, then they aren't suspicious enough and have no idea what's coming down the pike, just the way so many blind Americans flocked to Obama as our “savior” in 2008. :P Finally, a lot of them are waking up to what he's all about.

A poster named “goalieman” on another board sums it up well:

“Whether it's homosexuals in the military, gay marriage or whatever else they are trying to advance, the real goal is to establish that lifestyle as no different than any other lifestyle and anyone who speaks against it must be silenced by use of ‘hate laws’. The recent labeling as hate groups of some very fine conservative organizations by the SPLC is the direction the LGBT crowd is headed for. The “we just want equality” line of argument used by them is just a smokescreen for shutting up the rest of us.”

Just found this article on another Web site. Even the liberals are noticing that that conservative groups have been strangely quiet since the repeal of DADT.

Excerpt:

“Ever since the Senate voted to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell on Saturday afternoon, I have been scouring Religious Right websites trying to collect official statements that groups have released in response and have noticed that outside of a handful of groups, the vast majority of the movement has been utterly silent.

“When Judge Vaughan Walker struck down Proposition 8, Religious Right leaders were falling over one another to release statements decrying it ... but the repeal of DADT has largely yielded collective silence.”
