Unfortunately the ongoing revelation of sexual abuse by clergy illuminates how many gay or gay positive individuals have been allowed and perhaps even encouraged to enter the clergy. The end of any restriction on gays in uniform will encourage a migration of gay clergymen and women from all denominations into the chaplains corps. This will definitely be one powerful assist in making the armed forces a ‘gay positive’ institution as part of an on going campaign of using the armed services for social experimentation and implementation of various progressive ideas. The goal is to change the whole culture of the military until it is not military but uniformed enforcers of the state's will. This is not well understood by many traditional conservatives. The gradual but profound changes in the culture of the armed services has been underway since McNamara who deeply distrusted the traditional culturally conservative values that most officers subscribed to whether they were politically conservative or , as was not uncommon in 1960, moderately reformist liberals. We have traveled from the ‘officer as leader’ to the ‘officer as manager’ to sexual integration, importation of post modern legalistic norms of behavior versus traditional warrior/soldier ethics and have now arrived at the verge of women in combat units and the gay lifestyle openly encouraged. Tomorrow it will pressure from the political leadership enforced by complaint general officers to not tolerate but celebrate the gay lifestyle. The relentless pressure to make gays the next de facto protected class in uniform along with blacks and women will occur with concomitant pressure to make sure open gays are prominently featured in each officer promotion cycle. A significant part of the unstated reason for doing these things beyond the visceral dislike the left has for any traditional institution is to turn the military into institutions the left does not have to fear and ones that have been transformed slowly but profoundly from conservative to compliantly liberal irrespective of the views of individual officers and NCO’s. If the day ever arrives when the progressives need to use force to hold on to power they want to make sure most of the armed forces will execute their orders to fire on those parts of the nation and the people who are challenging the left’s grip on the state.

You are so tragically right that it should bring tears to our eyes. If the most powerfully conservative bulwark against liberalism in this country has fallen, what else can stand against this enemy?

One thing that has become very obvious is how many gays work in a conspiratorial way to get their own kind into positions of power, much as the communists have done in many institutions. This could very well be why there are so many gays in the clergy.
