"I SAY THIS WHOLE THING IS AGAINST NATURE!"

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.

Agreed and many if not most who have recently received a bachelor’s degree would not be able to pass the ENTRANCE exam for an American public high school of sixty years past.
I can just see it now, a military gay parade, flaunting their perversions, and gunning down anyone who turns away in embarrassment. Obama, presiding over the destruction of America...

I’ve been thinking the same thing. I don’t think the men will come out (much). I do think the lesbians will.
I also am wondering how many gay men will actually enlist for combat service. Every gay male I’ve met through work or school in the past was both completely uninterested and completely unsuited for that.

I do not understand why someone can flaunt their sexuality like that but when a heterosexual does it, people are up in arms about a person being ‘easy’ or ‘promiscious’
What about West Point? The Naval Academy? VMI? Air Force school in Colorado???
Are they going to be re-organized, also?
we need to start putting condems on our bullets.
First, we need to define homosexuality. Homosexuality is a sexual appitite and set of sexual behaviors. When it is in the closet, it is not interacting in life outside the closet. When it is out of the closet, it is interacting in life outside the closet. With speical rights it is interacting sexually out of the closet and everyone is ordered to shut up about whatever it does.
The Congress and the military brass decided to release homosexuality out of the closet in military life. It will be interacting with soldiers, with the protection of political correctness to harm anyone who does not celebrate it’s interaction with them.
Look what they have done in public schools! Many said that gays would never bother children with anal sex and other homosexual behaviors should we permit homosexuality out of the closet in our schools. They were totally wrong about that. Gays have gone a long way to break down all taboos of adult porn indoctrination - physical and mental - with other people’s children in the name of tolerance. Given we do not protect children from gay sexual harassment and abuse, what makes you think we are going to protect soldiers?
The damage is going to continue as long as this country is infected with 50+ million leftist vermin.
This is a terminal illness.
The world belongs to countries who murder dissenters, outlaw private property (including ones own autonomy), force pregnant women into death mills, and put their families in concentration camps.
The USA will be forced to join the “furnace race” pretty soon...if we haven’t already started.
Homosexuality can be flaunted because it has been designated as a special class.
Skin color can be flaunted because it has been designated as a special class.
Certain religions can be flaunted because they have been designated as special classes.
Democrats can flaunt their corruption because they have designated themselves as a special class. They are also the ones who “feel” they have to divide people into classes.
The silent majority who is no longer silent does not fit in any of their special classes, and we won’t stay in the class they try to put us in. And there’s more of us than there is of them. Ticks ‘em off.
That is an interesting blog — thanks for the link.
But do you really think the data in a guy’s blog makes us a superpower? Can you envision what would happen if we suddenly couldn’t buy most of our stuff from China et al?
We are so dependent on other nations for goods (and loans) that we are no longer even self-supporting. Think about that: we can’t even support ourselves (and our debt and our govt spending.)
To conduct manufacturing on a massive scale (like we did during WWII and like China does now) a country needs cheap labor. We don’t have that now — we have unions that hold the country over a barrel instead.
Maybe I am just being cynical. But I don’t see or feel the power of the United States. There has been a shift in the balance of power, and as you know, it is a zero sum game: when someone gains power, someone else loses power.
At this moment in history, we are giving up power, not gaining it. But we can get it back with the right leadership.
The unintended consequences that will flow from this vote will be based upon the fact that homosexual behavior has now been given sanction by our federal government. A lot of law suits will follow.
Yes, a plurality of Democrats probably ARE homosexual.
That was probably half the reason they passed it. Remember: The trial lawyers are the Democrat’s biggest source of campaign donations.
Most positions in the United States are not union jobs. Unions have been growing in the public sector and shrinking in the private sector. With 4% of the world’s population, we still produce more goods than China, who have 20%.
Or, how about Larry Sinclair?
