Barack Obama, Gays, and the Military

In a move consistent with his previous positions, USA President Barack Obama is trying to get homosexuality accepted by the military:

White House, Congress reach deal on repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’

From Dana Bash and Deirdre Walsh, CNN

May 25, 2010

Washington (CNN) — Congressional Democrats reached an agreement Monday with the White House and possibly the Pentagon on a key legislative step toward repealing the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy that bars openly gay soldiers from the military.

In a letter to President Obama obtained by CNN, three congressional sponsors of legislation to repeal the policy outlined the proposed agreement that would set contingencies based on completion of a military review of the matter already under way and subsequent final approval from the president and military leaders…

Supporters of repealing the policy have been pressuring congressional Democrats to act now, fearing the party will lose its House or Senate majority in November’s mid-term election and be unable to pass the measure then. http://www.cnn.com/2010/POLITICS/05/25/congress.military.dadt/

The Democrats do not want to lose seats in Congress and hope that by trying to placate their homosexual supporters that they will not lose their votes in November 2010. Democracy in action.

Also, partially to play to his political base, President Obama has also recently proposed a pro-abortion female judge for the Supreme Court (Obama Apparently Wants Abortionist for Supreme Court).

His advisers have also suggested that because of US debt (which Barack Obama has helped greatly increase, see Obama’s Stimulus Plan & Debt) that military spending should be frozen and certain new weapons’ systems cut or suspended.

Time reported:

The president’s “National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform,” chaired by Democrat Erskine Bowles and former Republican Senator Alan Simpson, held its first official meeting this morning at the White House. Speaking about the endeavor, Obama pointed to the challenges financial crisis and economic downturn thrust on the government…They could eliminate all non-military foreign aid, put a permanent cap on defense spending at current levels, outlaw future tax cuts or close every tax exemption on the books…We have to touch the military. And we have to take a strong look at revenue.” Simpson agreed, “Everything is on the table.” http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2010/04/27/why-the-deficit-commission/?xid=rss-topstories

As a former member of the US military, I will simply state that based upon my observations unit cohesiveness will be affected by the open acceptance of homosexuals in the military. And that, combined with cuts in weapons programs and likely caps/cuts on aspects of military spending, will weaken the defenses of the USA. This is something that I suggested would happen in my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect.

The USA needs national repentance or it is doomed militarily.

14’But if you do not obey Me, and do not observe all these commandments, 15 and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not perform all My commandments, but break My covenant, 16 I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of heart. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. 17 I will set My face against you, and you shall be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you shall reign over you, and you shall flee when no one pursues you (Leviticus 26:14-17).

The Obama Administration and many in US Congress do not seem to realize this.
