I imagine that this will utterly alienate him from about 60% of the population.

Trouble is that he was alienated from them already, so he'd view it as no loss.

Of course he is pleased. The left has been trying to destroy the Military for years.

Will the GOP have the nerve to get really vicious about this? I hope it will.

Like showing some stained underpants as told in Bummer’s own memoirs.

Homosexuals are NOT “normal”- they ARE mentally ill. We USED to know that.

This blow to the military may well be fatal.

Does this mean that the defiant rebellious left wing freak Universities will now ALLOW recruiting on campuses?

“This blow to the military may well be fatal.”

They’re going to have to enforce homosexual quotas in the military.

Hussein just paid 25 SEALs for “peace” on 9/11.
Bet they’ll be “hiring”....

Homosexuality is not an illness, it is an abomination to God.

Sin is sin in God's eyes, I don't know any other that He calls an abomination.

You are right, but all illness and mental disorders are due to man’s fallen nature. That is a topic much too deep for this thread.

Just speaking in secular terms, homosexuality is an illness and those suffering from it should not be allowed to claim special rights for it, other than treatment. It should NOT be allowed to destroy one of our greatest traditions. Geo. Washington must be spinning in his grave.

This is a sad day, indeed.

Right you are. Homosexuality was a diagnosable mental illness until political correctness changed that scientific research in the 1970s. The same types of people who declassified homosexuals as abnormal are the ones pushing to declassify narcissistic personality disorder as a clinically diagnosable mental disorder. I hate when the assholes at the APA allow the political agenda of a few on the left to supersede scientific analysis and research.

As their enlistments end, I anticipate that the military will lose our best people.

With all of the leftist manipulation of our military, in a few years we will be unable to defeat Holland’s military.

The left’s goal of destroying our nation is dependent upon destroying our military.

I don't know any other that He calls an abomination.

Proverbs 6:16-19 - King James Version (KJV)

16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:

17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.


Deuteronomy 25:13-16 - King James Version (KJV)

13 Thou shalt not have in thy bag divers weights, a great and a small.

14 Thou shalt not have in thine house divers measures, a great and a small.

15 But thou shalt have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure shalt thou have: that thy days may be lengthened in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

16 For all that do such things, and all that do unrighteously, are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.

There are many other examples. Leviticus Ch. 18, which includes the oft quoted, "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind," wraps up saying the long list of sexual prohibitions are of abominations:

26 Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you:

27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;)

28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

29 For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

30 Therefore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile not yourselves therein: I am the LORD your God.

If the sane people left in this country, and the people they elect, don't do anything to reverse it, you may be right.

They went after the most conservative institution in our nation first. The rest will be a cake walk.
