Obama's New 'Gay' Force
Townhall ^ | December 19, 2010 | Kevin McCullough

Posted on 12/18/2010 10:33:06 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

With the passage of the law to repeal the Clinton-era legislation commonly referred to as "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," President Obama enters into a new reality. In one last blaze of defiance of the American people, and expressly those who serve in our nation's armed forces, President Obama was able to shove social engineering into pretty much the very corner of American culture where we have no business doing so.

Upon his signature President Obama will begin a process that will at the very least disrupt operations, and at the very worst see the eventual weakening of our armed forces.

Throughout the entirety of this debate I've had questions, none of which seemed to be answered or even asked in the congressional sessions dealing with the matter.

From a purely pragmatic standpoint perhaps someone could answer them now, since I'm especially sure that President Obama wouldn't push for such a fundamental transformation of our military without good answers to them.

1. What happens to housing, on base and in theater?

If it is morally questionable to have men and women housed together because of the sexual tension that exists between primarily men who would be predatorily interested in the women they might shower with or frequently be seen in the act of dressing and undressing on a regular basis, why is it any different if you have identified the predatory homosexual male who might have an unrequited "thing" for a fellow service member? If it is proper to keep men and women housed separately do we now go to four sets of housing. Men who don't engage in homosexual activity, Men who do, Women who don't, Women who do? Practically speaking Mr. President how do you get past the fundamental sexual tension that will be present the minute some make it known?

2. Do you expect the military system or the civilian courts to deal with the influx of phony sexual harassment cases to follow?

Consider this issue a prediction of sorts, but take it to the bank that those who engage in open homosexuality will feel the freedom if not the need begin to portray themselves as victims of harassment pretty much anytime something doesn't go their way. And it may not require anything all that severe to trigger it. A drill instructor gets a little too rough in his language while trying to beat the "sissy" out of a recruit in basic training or Officer Candidate School and the backlog will commence.

3. Will base commanders be required to host "pride" events that allow for similar conduct to the x-rated displays that go on in the nation's cities each year?

There was much discussion in the Senate and House hearings about the issue of morale, the breakdown of structure, the significance of discipline and the ability to command respect and a readied force. Nothing related to any "pride" event ever held comes close to anything resembling respect, discipline, or structure. There is a reason our best volunteer to serve their nation, and it has nothing to do with speedos, bump or grind.

4. Will all other sexual conduct be made legal as well?

It is still a crime to commit adultery in active military duty, and even more so for officers. How can you possibly be allowing for the flamboyancy of effeminate male soldiers to engage in sexual conduct and their notorious ever wandering lust for the new on one hand, and hold court martial for those who have discreetly hidden their sexual escapades while destroying their families?

There are many legitimate reasons why the military is not the place to run experiments on the restructuring of the society at large.

For the leftist idiots who will scream the meme that, "every other nation on the planet already does it," shut up!

None of those military forces are the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, or Marines.

I know the progressive elites in the nation awake this morning feeling better about what has been done to the U.S. Military in this vote. I know this President has never served and likely barely knows anyone who has. I know that the godless in our nation think this is all a tremendous step forward.

In the hundreds of conversations I've had with those that serve in our nation's armed forces, from Naval F-18 aviators to Army Rangers, Marine specialists to Air Force pilots of B2 stealth bombers, C130s, and military drones, the view of the military is clear. They serve to focus on the mission at hand, not because they may or may not display pictures of their romantic interests in the living quarters.

I know that our military has been the best in the world, and that they deserved to be listened to when they spoke clearly from the four branches to the President. The head of each branch clearly made the case for not allowing the military to become a place where the focus of our troops was placed on when and how they can have sex, instead of achieving their mission.

But now that reality has been thrust upon us. It is a focus of magnificent distraction, and in terms of operational priorities it is of miniscule importance.

It was President Obama's doing, and the results that follow will be laid at his feet.

We’re the world’s only superpower: We spend as much on defense as all the other countries in the world, combined! If we become weak, guess what happens? Of course, that’s probably the plan...

Well, as another Freeper puts it, "it's all part of The Big Plan."

And the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyre: And say to him: Thus says the Lord God: You were the seal of resemblance, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. You were in the pleasures of the paradise of God: every precious stone was your covering: the sardius, the topaz, and the jasper, the chrysolite, and the onyx, and the beryl, the sapphire, and the carbuncle, and the emerald: gold the work of your beauty: and your pipes were prepared in the day that you were created. You a cherub stretched out, and protecting, and I set you in the holy mountain of God, you have walked in the midst of the stones of fire. You were perfect in your ways from the day of your creation, until iniquity was found in you.

By the multitude of your merchandise, your inner parts were filled with iniquity, and you have sinned: and I cast you out from the mountain of God, and destroyed you, O covering cherub, out of the midst of the stones of fire. And your heart was lifted up with your beauty: you have lost your wisdom in your beauty, I have cast you to the ground: I have set you before the face of kings, that they might behold you.

You have defiled your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities, and by the iniquity of your traffic: therefore I will bring forth a fire from the midst of you, to devour you, and I will make you as ashes upon the earth in the sight of all that see you. All that shall see you among the nations, shall be astonished at you: you are brought to nothing, and you shall never be any more.

Ezekiel 28:11-19

I guess our soldiers can just “bitch slap” Al Queda into submission.

Nah, they will just sue him for hate crimes, radical (and non radical) Islamists hate homosexuals to the point of stoning them. They'll just sick Morris Dees and the Southern Poverty Law Center on him. Come to think of it, the radicals in the homosexual movement might have signed their own death warrant, if we become weak and Islam takes over, they will be hunted down and killed, like the rest of us. Be careful what you wish for as the saying goes.

Russia, China, N Korea...have gotta be pinching themselves. They gotta be asking asking themselves “ is this some kind of set-up?....this is just too easy”. Laughin their asses off. Sad.

I wonder if those nations allow homosexuals to serve in their militaries. Most likely not, but I have to ask. I know in Russia, homosexuality is frown upon at least, in the old USSR, it was punishable by 8 years of hard labor in the Gulag. As to Red China and North Korea, I think they would take a dim view too.

Yeah I know. As a colored person, I am enraged at how Whites can’t care for their culture because they will called this and that. While when the other races do it; its diversity and acceptance.

Absurd for goodness sake.

They will take some hits, but in the long run, when they enlist the drug gangs, prison thugs, and such in their new Force, brutality will take the front seat.

Growing food in back yards will become illegal - zoning ordinances, FDA etc - and only those compliant will be able to buy food and clean water.

They need to be stopped now before they ascend to real power.

I would think that they would have to test ALL recruits for HIV to make it a non issue.

Which would not be a bad idea.

Not all sodomites are willing to be labeled Gay.

Rumours are we have one that falls into that catagory living in the WH.

Brave men and women gave the ultimate price defending the Constitution.

The devil commies, loonies and queers gladly take advantage of its liberties and use it against us.

I guess that’s why it is a perversion... it flaunts itself in the face of all that is decent, not to mention, in the face of God and His design. Ever wonder why God hates homosexuality?... (not the person)...

So was the e-3 a widower, a divorcee, or just a common whore?

“Single mom” puts the whore on an equal ground as the widower or the divorcee.

Just sayin’

I agree with you. Growing up in the city of SF in the 70s and 80s (mostly men, I never saw lesbians then) was nothing compared to the lesbos living in Tucson, AZ from the 80s on.

You cannot fight ‘The Almighty God’… He who gives Salvation and Grace through Jesus Christ.

Remember we live in a fallen world, its Satan’s world.

But everlasting life in Heaven above awaits His children, forever and ever.

Anyone know if this would apply to State National Guard? Might be an out, if the States pick up the Patriots, and they should be thinking about that very thing. May have to call them something else, like State Marshals.

Those brave men and women, must have a place to defend our Constitution. Maybe it is only the beginning, God help us.

It was not just his doing, lay the final nail at the feet of six disgusting RINO senators. A pox on all of them.
