The effort to repeal DADT has very little to do with homosexuals serving their country openly. This is nothing more than a politically motivated effort by politicians and a minority of people to gain votes and push a social agenda.

For years, homosexuals have said they just want to be able to serve their country openly and proudly, all the while defying the very core values our military live by every day. They use terms like “equal rights” and “discrimination” to try to make their efforts sound legitimate, but they fail to understand one simple fact. No one has the “right to serve” in the military. Serving in the military is an honor and privilege. Compromises of core values are never accepted and everyone who serves understands it takes a commitment to a set of values that are rooted deep in tradition, honor and professionalism. Attempting to join the military should never be compared to the rights afforded to all Americans when seeking employment in the civilian world.

If repealing DADT were really about “equal rights” and removing “discrimination” then we would have to address a whole list of issues and not just homosexuals serving openly. The military discriminates against a number of groups and minorities in order to ensure good discipline, unit cohesion and effectiveness. If “equal rights” applied to the military, they would not be able to “discriminate” based on age, but they do every day. They would not be able to “discriminate” based on a person’s weight, but they discharge thousands of members every year for being overweight, even if they can pass their fitness test. They would not be able to “discriminate” based on what tattoos a person may have, but they deny enlistment to people every day because of tattoos. So you see, if repealing DADT was about “equal rights” and tearing down the walls of “discrimination”, we should be going after all the discriminators, but the recruit who is overweight and may have a few tattoos does not have the high paid lawyers and politicians in his pocket, like the gay rights groups. Therefore, he is just denied entry, while the homosexual is “discriminated” against and denied “equal rights”. It just seems wrong to cave into one group, while ignoring another group.

Unlike the civilian world, serving in the military is not just about being able to do your job. The military has to operate as a fully integrated team, not a social club where everyone does what he or she feels. Anyone who joins the military must be able to work and live as a team in close and often very difficult situations. This requires members to live by similar values and beliefs. Someone’s behavior cannot be allowed to cause a distraction or make other members feel uncomfortable. This is specifically why homosexuals are prohibited to serve openly. Homosexual behavior is not viewed by the majority of military members as being compatible with the military standards of conduct. So for homosexuals to claim they are being discriminated against I say this is not about you; it is about what is good for the military and our national security.

However, in an effort to be fair, let us think about this for minute. If DADT is repealed, what kind of living conditions will we force our military to live in? Will the military be forced to have facilities (showers, bathrooms, barracks and tents) for four or five different groups, or maybe just one? Will a minority looking for acceptance of their behavior, trample the rights of the majority to feel comfortable where they live and work? How will bi-sexual and transgender people serve? Will the transgender man be allowed to dress as a woman soldier one day, use the women’s facilities, and then dress as a male soldier the next? How many heterosexual Americans would really feel comfortable living and showering with known homosexuals? Why in the hell should our military have to deal with this type of social experimentation during wartime?

As mentioned above, repealing DADT is not about “equal rights” or discrimination against a minority. The military discriminates against a number of groups every day, but we never hear anyone complaining or any lawmaker trying to make a stand for them.

Therefore, with all politics aside, our political and military leaders need to address the repeal of DADT from the point of how would the repeal improve or strengthen our military and not from a perspective of how we can help a minority with their social agenda. If there is not hard quantifiable evidence that repealing DADT will significantly improve military effectiveness, then repealing the policy is not an option. To repeal the policy without that evidence would be nothing less than treason.

I received this in an email and thought it was very interesting.  I'm not a very religious person, but this does bring some common sense perspective to the BS liberal debate and to all those idiots who want to remove the word "God" from everything in our Government.

There was a lot of controversy about Obama asking Rick Warren to deliver the invocation on inauguration day.  I know it caused Barney Frank to get his panties in a twist, but where is the outcry about Ingrid Mattson?  Oh, that's right she is one of those fun loving Muslims.  You know, they have that  Religion Of Peace  and support Peace Loving Groups like Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood .

Now the Feds are stating she has links to Hamas.  America needs to wake up, stop drinking their lattes and ask what the hell is going on here.

I just saw this on the Fox Web site and thought it was really creepy.  It reminds me of those kids in Lebanon singing with the Jihad Mouse.  What the hell is up with these people today and this feeling they have for Obama?

I just updated the 'really creepy" link above to a live link and also found this one.  "Obama Youth Regiment"  This shit is getting crazy....

Michael Moore is an idiot. In his effort to paint the Republicans in a bad light, Moore stuck both feet into his big fat mouth. His comment about (Hurricane Gustav is “proof that there is a God in heaven,”) is ridicules. He says he is for the little people and tries to paint himself as a champion for the right and just, but the reality is he nothing more than a disgusting filmmaker making money off the very people he claims to be trying to help. This man is so disgusting; I would not even piss on him if he were on fire.

Well the Code Pink Nuts are at it again out in Berkeley, California.  This time their attempting witchcraft to get their point across.  If you remember, they were raising hell back in February when the Berkeley City Council sent the Marines a letter saying they were not welcome.  I posted a blog entry "Berkeley Eases Anti-Marine Stance" about it and thought these nuts were moving on, but it appears their back to cause more trouble.

What I find a little odd, is their issue of saying they want to protect the troops from dying.  Perhaps they should pull their head out of their ass along with a few other groups and go after illegal aliens in our country.  The following is quoted from an article by Scott Snyder. 

• "As of April 23, 2008, 4046 Americans have given their lives in the Iraq war, that's about 809 soldiers per year. As of 2006, on average 12 people per day are murdered by illegal immigrants and 13 people a day are killed by illegal immigrants driving while drunk and uninsured. Over a one year period this amounts to 9125 Americans killed by illegal immigrants. These numbers do not also include terrorist attacks on US soil that were committed by illegal immigrants."

Now if these nuts were really concerned about the life of Americans, then I would think they would want to go after the larger killer of Americans.  But hell no, that would not be politically correct.  

To read the latest about these nuts, see the following article below from Fox News.

A while back, I ran a poll asking people if they thought America was becoming too politically correct.  Overwhelmingly, the response was Yes.  Now, I read just how crazy this PC shit is becoming.  The following is another one of those Investigative Project on Terrorism stories I just can't believe and follows on the heels of the Dangerous Words article I posted earlier.

Investigative Project Releases Gov't Memos Curtailing Speech in War on Terror - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is refusing to identify the "influential Muslim Americans" and "leading U.S.-based scholars and commentators on Islam" who met with Secretary Michael Chertoff in helping shape a softer approach to government.

Although I still think the people of Berkeley are idiots, I'm glade to see they are finally seeing the light on this issue.  However, I do not think they got a change of heart, I think they just realized their crocodile mouths bit off more than their canary asses could handle.  "Councilwoman Linda Maio said the council opposes recruitment, not the military. "It's behavior that we oppose, not the people,"   That logic is about as stupid as saying we support the Police, but just hate it when they lock up criminals...  This women is a joke and so are her "Code Pink" friends who say "we support them so much that we're desperate to get them back home."  I wonder how many have ever actually talked to a military member.  If they did, they would know "Code Pink" is thought of as a bunch of nuts.  Let me know what you think...
