America Does NOT have to Accept Homosexuality

If you have ever visited my blogs in the past you would be aware that I believe the practice of homosexuality to be one of the most heinous stains on Western and America society. Homosexuality is ungodly and unnatural. It is mere propaganda when you hear or read a homosexual apologist adhere to the stand that homosexuality is both Biblically godly and natural. That is pure propaganda that has been used by the homosexual agenda for years with unfortunate success.

Having used these strong words, I need to assert no man or woman should utilize violence to attack the vile alternate lifestyles. This is a moral issue in which humanity is accountable to God Almighty. Humanity’s portion is to match the rule of law to match God’s morality. This means NOT to provide privileges that do not morally exist. Violence against individuals is already codified into the law with assault, battery and murder laws. The laws should be enforced equally.

Codifying privileges to homosexuals validates their lifestyle which is already is already a stain. Ramming homosexual propaganda into our children in school in the name of multicultural diversity is wrong. Even the Deist members of the Founding Fathers asserted Christian principles should be the mainstay of education. Which was the case in most of the nation until someone talked an activist slanted left SCOTUS to codify anything to do with Christian prayer to be left out of the Public Schools, even on a voluntary basis.

Now there is a Leftist push to expand the homosexual agenda into the American military. President Clinton tried to push the agenda during his Presidential Administration. The majority of the military brass was against and a strong Republican Congress would not allow it. The only caveat was to withdraw the question, “Are you a homosexual?” from the paperwork. Hence the military term “Don’t ask, Don’t tell.” If a homosexual is discovered in the military, they are discharged.

Now we have Über-Leftist President Barack Hussein Obama taking up the cause of the homosexual agenda for the military. BHO has a two-House majority in Congress. There is the real danger that Congress will codify homosexuality in the military. Do you think any Federal Judge at any level will rule such a law unconstitutional? NO! Do you think once the Left codifies homosexuality in the military, that any Federal Judge will allow a future Republican Congress to de-codify a homosexual military? NO!

Thank God there are organizations like the Liberty Counsel (LC) that are willing to take a stand against the homosexual agenda. I receive and e-news alert from LC addressing this issue about a homosexual military. It includes links to a petition to sign. I encourage all my fellow Slanted Right and Christian friends to sign it and pass it around. If you find another organization taking a stand against a homosexual military, support them as well.

Homosexual agenda threatens national security

I have been deeply shocked by hearing the unvarnished truth
about the radical push to allow openly active homosexuals
to serve in our military. This proposed change will severely
impact every one us! Please read my message below - Mat.

This past weekend, Liberty University School of Law hosted a conference addressing how the homosexual agenda threatens our freedom. Even though I convened the symposium as Dean of the law school, I was shaken to the core by what I heard.

Most shocking was the presentation by Elaine Donnelly, President of the Center for Military Readiness, regarding the impact on our military if legislation is passed to repeal what is commonly called "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (DADT).

John, President Obama's proposed new policy (which he dramatically forced down our throats in the recent State of the Union address), would forbid any discrimination based on "homosexuality or bisexuality whether the orientation is real or perceived."

I can't emphasize this strongly enough: This is a potentially disastrous policy change that simply must not be allowed!

Today, as a part of this year's CPAC convention in Washington, DC, I joined many conservative leaders in strongly rejecting the President's plans for a new "LGBT law" (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Transsexual) for our armed forces. I just recorded a special audio message about the crucial news release from this very important meeting I want you to hear...

++"Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is totally mislabeled.

This may surprise you, but the DADT policy is in reality a misleading "catch phrase." Contrary to what many currently believe, in 1993 Congress overwhelmingly REJECTED President Clinton's proposal and passed a law clearly stating that practicing homosexuals ARE NOT ELIGIBLE for military service.

The only compromise made in the bill was to drop the question about homosexuality that appeared in military induction forms. Thus, the phrase "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" remained as a popular moniker.

That 1993 law codified a long-standing DOD policy recognizing the military as a "specialized society" that is "characterized by forced intimacy with little or no privacy." The law was designed to PROTECT "high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability."

++In time of war, military readiness is paramount

The discussion of this uniquely military issue must NOT begin with questions of individual civil rights or "equality" for practicing homosexuals. And it most certainly CANNOT include political considerations or begin with an intent to appease the homosexual community and its hideous agenda!

The dialogue should begin with, "What is in the best interest of our military community, which is now engaged in two wars?" We MUST begin with their readiness, their morale, their discipline and their effectiveness as a "specialized society."

We are at a crossroads regarding our U.S. military's effectiveness in this time of war. To disrupt their mission with a major policy change on such a sensitive issue for political purposes would be absolutely wrong on many levels.

That's why I want you to sign our petition calling for Congress to reject ANY legislation enacting a pro-homosexual policy change at this critical time for our nation's military.

++The "slant" the liberal media wants you to believe

Chances are you've heard that a key Navy Admiral has very publically endorsed the repeal of the law prohibiting homosexuals from serving in the military.

But you may not have heard that over 1,164 high-ranking retired Flag and General Officers personally signed a statement expressing great concern that repeal of the law would undermine unit cohesion, discipline and combat effectiveness!

Further, the main stream media is not reporting that a Military Times poll showed that 58 percent of military respondents oppose repeal of the law. They also conveniently overlook the fact that military associations like the Veterans of Foreign Wars strongly oppose any such change of policy.

++The devastating impact on retention rates

The Obama Administration and pro-homosexual lobbyists like to cite specific, isolated cases to tug at your heartstrings. The President's language in his State of the Union message was that we ought to allow homosexuals who love their country to serve.

But the Military Times poll says that a full ten percent of respondents would not reenlist if the DADT law is repealed!

That equates to over 228 thousand of our trained military personnel leaving their units in a time of war - which is greater than the size of our current U.S. Marine Corps manning level.

Perhaps even worse, another 14 percent of the poll respondents said they would consider ending their careers through retirement if DADT is repealed!

Imagine the impact on national security and our battlegrounds if that many of our dedicated soldiers, marines, seamen, and airmen decided to leave.

But there is SO MUCH MORE to this issue to be considered...

* Housing & living quarters

* Same sex "partner" benefits

* Civil unions

* Child custody disputes

* Sexual misconduct allegations

* Diversity training

* Military social events

* Transsexual "special needs" to use the restroom of their choice

* Many, many more social and physical concerns.

Please consider this joint statement by the 1,164 high-ranking officers I mentioned earlier:

"We believe that imposing this burden on our men and women in uniform would undermine recruiting, retention, impact leadership at all levels, have adverse affects on the willingness of parents who loan their sons and daughters to military service, and eventually break the All-Voluntary force."

I can't say it any better than that.

++Support our Troops!

This is what I'm asking you to do: Sign our petition opposing Rep. Patrick Murphy's (D-PA) proposed legislation (H.R. 1283) - or any other legislation by the 111th Congress - that would lift the ban on openly active homosexuals serving in our military.

++President Obama has totally politicized this crucial issue

Right now, legislators and military leaders are conducting meetings to further study the effects of repealing DADT. But even before the study is complete, dozens of legislators have rallied to the President's call for new legislation to change the policy.

Of course, there is tremendous pressure from radical homosexual groups and lobbyists to repeal the law. And, as usual, the liberal media is slavishly catering to the homosexual agenda, so all you'll likely hear are the opinions and voices of those who support this misguided new policy.

For our part, Liberty Counsel will continue to confront these groups and has renewed our deep commitment to support our military men and women on this crucial issue. I'm asking you to stand with us.

Click below to sign the petition. And please don't forget to listen to my special audio message. I assure you, we have learned how to amplify your views with the media and strategically impact our elected officials with special petitions like this one:

http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?u=25242&RID=22306845

We must stand as a voice of reason on this vital issue! Our men and women in uniform are counting on us to take the time to support them - as they do every
day for us. Please sign this petition and join Liberty Counsel in reassuring them that you and I are looking out for their best interests.

Thank you in advance for your support!

God bless you,

Mathew Staver, Founder and Chairman
Liberty Counsel

P.S. Remember, this vital petition campaign is not about opposing any individual's civil liberties or condoning "hatred" against any group of people. This is solely about national security, military readiness and morale in a time of war. Please sign our petition and listen to my special audio message:

http://www.libertyaction.org/r.asp?u=25242&RID=22306845

Again, thank you, and God bless the United States of America!
