America has devolved into an amoral, reletavistic, atavistic society. Over and over again we fall prey to candidates who promise us goodies and deliver misery instead.

Nice tie, Barrack.

There seems to be a statement in President Obama's tie and lapel pin. I looked up National Flags to see if he was making note of a specific country. I found nothing. Perhaps someone can enlighten us?`

The rainbow has been co-opted by the homosexual movement as its symbol. It belongs to those who see it in a Biblical setting as a sign from God, revealing His love for mankind.

The Obama Administration is getting a lot of criticism from social conservatives for ending its defense of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). However, if part of President Obama’s job is to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution, he made the right call.

There was never any point in defending something as clearly unconstitutional as DOMA. This law sets up differing legal standards for Gay and Straight couples, thus violating the 14th Amendment. Because of DOMA, even Gay couples who are legally married in Iowa or Massachusetts are unrecognized by the federal government for the purposes of tax law and Social Security.

Also, unlike married Straight couples, married Gay couples become “UN-married” if they move across state lines, so DOMA violates the “Full Faith & Credit” clause.

Hell, even a lawyer with the American Family Association has admitted that DOMA is “probably unconstitutional.” Details are here:

http://www.ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=7693&MediaType=1&Category=26

By its own actions, the federal government has made marriage a federal issue. Most of the legal benefits of marriage are bestowed by the federal government. You can argue about religion and parenthood until the cows come home, and it will not negate the fact that there is simply no constitutional justification for denying law-abiding, taxpaying Gay couples the same legal benefits that Straight couples have always taken for granted.

I certainly hope this prognostication does not come to pass for the land of the free, home of the brave.

The Rise and Fall of Democracy...

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government."

"A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. From bondage to spiritual faith;

2. From spiritual faith to great courage;

3. From courage to liberty;

4. From liberty to abundance;

5. From abundance to complacency;

6. From complacency to apathy;

7. From apathy to dependence;

8. From dependence back into bondage"

I sincerely hope we prove Professor Tyler wrong!

I hope you're being sarcastic as it is obvious the tie and lapel pin are photoshopped for effect.

On this subject of Sodomites, Would everybody please read Genesis 18,19, in the Bible. "God is angry with the wicked everyday", when the "bunch" started this WAY BACK, God intervened. READ it.

God doesn't change, "I CHANGE NOT" is What God tells us in Scripture.

God is long suffering, but there a Day of Judgment, and it came upon Sodom and Gomorrah.

Add this as one more weight on the pendulum to swing it wider. But like all pendulums, it has to swing back. The farther we as a nation swing away from God, the less He is in our lives and the less protection we have against Satan. Eventually, out of necessity, we will come to our senses and remember that God is the source of all joy and life. We will forget these ridiculous ideas that we are in control of our lives. Once we have hit rock bottom, we will have no other place to turn than to the source of all good and we will again restore our Republic - if not this one, then another. Good always overcomes evil - are we ready, yet? Do we have to hit rock bottom? How low are we willing to go? Eventually, we have to stand for right. Our Constitution is based upon natural laws, but unfortunately, that does not mean that all our laws are - and regulations are definitely not based upon natural laws. We have to reset back to our Constitution and soon or it will be a long time before man is ready to once again rule himself without tyranny.

Sandra, it is a doctored picture with the idea that he stands for the "Rainbow Coalition".

Hey Ruth Ann

I don't believe in God. So why should I be subjected to YOUR beliefs?

I wanted to make an observation. We have vast resources in the USA - oil, wood, minerals, farmland, etc. We have been blessed with the raw materials to be self sufficient as a nation. My fear is that we will eventually be so far in debt that rather than use our own resources, like oil, to get us out of this mess, we will be exploited for our natural resources because of the vast weight of the debt will not allow us to negotiate properly and the only thing left is our resources. Seems to me that this is the object of the Left in making us equal to the world and allowing the world to exploit us while dragging us down to the third world's level. We MUST drill, drill, drill; end subsidies; and allow the free market to find equalibrium.

It never ceases to amaze me, a retired military veteran, that two presidents who never served--one who actively dodged the draft-- really pushed for homosexuals in the military. It appears that these dirtbags really had a strong desire to hurt the military and our country.

Total frustration, anguish, and anger. Those are my emotions as I write this. I will most likely be dead by the time history deals with this man.

For my part, as a Vietnam veteran, I can just imagine what effect this ridiculous training will have on the marines and soldiers who have to go through it.

November 2012 can not come fast enough. My only hope is a majority of the American people come to their senses and throw out this president along with all his people. America can not stand this daily onslaught of race baiting and hypocrisy.

This is goal 26 of the Communist goals:

http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm

Sandra, I believe it is the rainbow tie and pin which has been taken over by the Homosexual Community as their symbol. It would appear by this picture, that the POTUS is standing in support of these people.

I always enjoy reading the Patriot Post. You always give us the unvarnished truth. Now it is my turn to voice the truth and if I offend, it is only because the truth can be painful but it WILL make you free.

The so-called president has crossed the line with his decision to override the will of the people. He is guilty of violating every aspect of his oath. He has exposed our troops to the enemy in ways far worse than the Vietnam era debacle. He has violated the Constitution. He has been found in contempt of court over the "ObamaCare" act and the search for and securing supplies of oil available to us in the Gulf and Alaska. He has given aid and comfort to our enemies and meddled in the politics of other nations. He has slapped our military in the face with his homosexual normalization and walked all over the citizens of this nation.

What more evidence do we need for impeachment? Why is there no call for action in the halls of Congress? How can we stand with our hands in our pockets, so to speak, while this man destroys our way of life?

I say we the people must act now! The founders had similar complaints and revolted against the King. It is time to force our "representatives" to take action or remove them and take back our nation.

God bless America!!

Our dear leader cuts quite the dashing figure in his flashy pin and tie.Why! He's a regular"gay-blade"isn't he.But the burning question is.Will our troops that are homosexual and lesbian get any normalization or indoctrination training on why 99% of our military is not like them!I Don't Think So.

Can we expect to see the Westboro Baptists protesting AG Holder at the Justice Dept. and President Obama at the White House now, in addition to their appearances at military funerals? The premise of their protest and their recently won Supreme Court case is that God is punishing America for tolerance of homosexuals. Why are they silent on the actions of these two government officials, AG Holder and President Obama?

OBTW, the horizontal tricolor flag, red on top, white middle, blue bottom, is the flag of the Netherlands. Perhaps it's a tongue-in-cheek reference to the realm of the apostate.

If being gay is a natural born event, Why do we need to teach Gay sensitivity. I do not recall a Gay or a straight having to be taught Hetrosexual sensitivity.

Hey "Just Saying"

I DO believe in God. So why should I be subjected to YOUR beliefs?

Well said, Mark!

P Simpson,

Knoxville

With all that obama and his cronies are doing to destroy America, why hasn't anybody done anything to stop them? Will we the people have to revolt and protest like that of Libya and Egypt to get anything done? It seems hope is fading fast and we have no way of stopping this plague.

Amen and Amen, Mark. I spend 26 years in the Air Force as an Investigative Officer in the Office of Special Investigations (OSI). An inordinate amount of our investigative effort was spent attempting to rid the service of homosexuals. Needless to say, we always had more than enough to do, Our subjects ran the gamut of personnel, from Basic Trainees to full Colonels. I don't recall ever hearing of a General officer as a subject. Those wwho escaped our attention while in Basic Training were almost invariably found out later. And also were found to be again, invariably disruptive to the discipline and good order of the unit and the service in general. I do not expect the future to be any different when they will be serving openly.

As I am heterosexual, white, balding, middle age, male, employed, tax payer, Christian, veteran, patriot, retired Marine, nonunion it appears I am a minorit. Where do I apply for minority status?

Leviticus 18:22

Merle, interesting. I spent 12 years in AI, more specifically, DIA. My mission had nothing to do with Gays in the military. What I will say is, did I know of some? Most certainly. Did they perform their duties, quite admirably. Did anyone care? No. So in this aspect I disagree with you then again I didn't play detective.

I've also taught seminary for 12 years as a penitence.

Having said that, are we bigots? Seriously and don't quote the Bible to me for I'm well adept in it's numerous flaws. I know someone will come after me for saying such a thing.

I've always asked my students, "Is God into practical jokes?" It is verified that gay men have female brains and visa versa. Can we heal this? Can we pray the gay away?

Now we come to those who have sex organs of both sexes. Are they gay or not? Where are they going?

John: 99%. I find this high, very high. I'm the one who says back up what you say. Show me the studies, show me the stats.

Ruth, how I love quoting Gen. for the questions I can pose. Are you under the law, if you are then define the law. Y'shua Ben Josf spoke of gays while under the law. If the law is dead... Now according to ALL JEWISH SOURCE Material. The sin of Sodom of Gom is not homosexuality. Gasp. There sin is not giving hospitality. If being gay was such a thing, they would've commented on it. "the term, "that we may know them," is not defined in the earliest copies of the OT. friendly advice, the S.B. stance is go changes not, the Bible is perfect. Never ever go down that slippery slope for someone will beat you to death with it. Still Stand for something or fall for everything. the Bible should be your anchor, your hope, your peace, your joy. If we had all the spiritual answers then we can knock off over 15,000 Christian denoms, most of which honestly believed the others are damned to hell. See the point? Anyone can prove anything with the Bible. I left out quoting Paul for there are serious questions in academia if he actually wrote it or if its an later interpolation.

I briefly laid down the gauntlet, now prove your case via fact not philosophical argument. Alex researches, now follow suit.

If requested I'll post and Alex can find someone who is well versed to act as a counter point so one may see all sides of the issue. At least you can see where the other side stands. I do not expect to change any minds nor do I intend to.

I find today's piece inciteful in respects to gays and the relationship the pose in modern society. Keep up the good work. I shall ponder your words.

I will believe that DADT can be ignored when a homosexual union can produce a child and DNA testing proves that both members of the union were involved in producing the child. Until then homosexuals should be recognized as having an emotional illness and should be treated as sick in the head.

As for sensitivity training for our military, I think they already have all the training they need. They carry their training with them when they go into combat. Of course they have to reload every so often to keep their sensitivity up to par.

One more fed up American.

Concerning the public declaration that the law enforcement arm of the federal government will not defend DOMA, Attorney General Holder is quite simply not doing his job. I fully recognize that President Obama will fail to terminate his employment, however, as he has taken a public stand indicating that he will not, by his choice, fulfill the responsibilities of the office he entered, might it not be time for the House Judiciary Committee to take up the cause of impeachment for Mr. Holder?

Right after they get done treating Charlie Sheen why don't they move right over to the U.S.Senate and give Senator Harry Reid a few treatments!I'll donate. Semper Fi to LT.Colonel Paige USMC and thanks for your service.

The devil never ever had ONE original thought but always perverts the things of God. The rainbow is a sign of a covenant made by God with humans, that He will never again destroy the world by flood. Of course the left (yes, the left, because that's what the gay movement is when you scrape all the "human rights" crap away and see the truth) has taken a lovely and pure symbol of God's love and made it into something that stands AGAINST the law of God. That's how the devil always does things - no surprise.

Mark

It does not matter what people "believe", only what they can prove. I believe in science and the scientific process. You will have to describe "nature." I don't believe in the Keebler elves, goblins, ghosts, the Easter bunny, or a Christian God as described in the Bible. I do believe in Evolution, which is proven through the scientific process.

Thanks

Today, in Florida, the Obama justice Department won a court order that all of the states involved in the suit against “Obamacare” should be forced to implement it despite the fact it has been declared unconstitutional by two separate district judges.

However, Obama has declared, through his AG, that a law in force since its passage in 1996 (DoMA) will not be enforced even though it has never been challenged in court and declared unconstitutional. In addition, Obama, through his AG, has declared DOMA unconstitutional.

Why can’t everyone see the absurdity of this dichotomy?

We must work diligently and without tire to ensure the usurper currently squatting in the Whitehouse is voted out of office in November 2012.

Reply to last post. John c. It is true two GOP Federal Court Judges declared it unconstitutional. Did you forget that three federal judges declared it constitutional?

Just saying,

Thanks for your remarks about what you believe in. I will pray for your soul and hope that God will provide you with faith to see that which you can not prove.

From this edition:

"Obama's rejection of DOMA is his latest attempt to pander to members of his second-most vociferous constituency after government unions: homosexual unions."

I don't know how you can separate "government unions"

and "homosexual unions" into two separate groups.

They are both prostitutes of one sort or another.

If I'm not mistaken, Just Saying was posting the usual anti-God drivel on posts in answer to articles by Burt Prelusky...this unfortunate individual continues to seek an audience for his/her lock-step liberal crap...but it's OK, Just Saying, God believes in YOU.

We live in one messed-up world! Take away the family and there goes the foundation.

Hebrews 11:10: "For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."

Psalms 82:5: "They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course."

We're off course, folks! What keeps me on course is the knowledge that God will always be in charge, and He's getting ready to clean our clocks!!

Perhaps someone can correct the Goot Doktor here, but are we the ONLY military that has, or soon to be will require this training?

I do believe we have bested the rest of the world as even the Chicoms, the Evil Empire and the Islamonazi's don't do this nonsense.

BHO's "wrestling" with unnatural unions and "grappling" with DOMA is sufficient proof that he is not a Christian as he tried to convince at recent prayer breakfast. "By their fruit ye shall know them." A Christian doesn't mentally thrash about moral issues. A Christian obeys God's roadmap for life - the Bible. We are reaping the consequences of a humanist President.

Mark

Thanks for the question. The answer to your question is that nobody knows. I, and nobody else, knows how everything started. For that matter, we don't even know if there ever was a begining. Not everything has to have a begining and an end. Time is just a system that we use to keep track of events. Maybe the Universe has always been here? Maybe there was a begining? When science does not fully understand things it is OK to say, "We don't know." However, when there is proof (using the scientific process) then we can come to a conclusion. For example, the theory of gravity and the theory of Evolution both started with a hypothesis, were tested repeatedly through experiments, peer reviewed by other scientists where the facts supported the claim, and a thus the theory is proven. No credible scientist has been able to disprove the theory, and thus it is widely excepted by intelligent individuals around the world.

God on the other hand, like goblins and ghosts, or the Easter bunny, is something some people believe in and some people don't. There is no proof of any of these things. We can't even have a hypothesis to try and prove them, because there is no way to test the hypothesis!

I have no problem with anything someone wants to believe in. I just don't want their beliefs to get rubbed off on me by there being laws created based on someone else's ideals.

Can I ask you a question? If the Christian God is all knowing, all loving, and all powerful, can he create a rock that he can't lift?

Thanks

AMEN, Mr. Alexander!!! I support every word you've penned. The law is the law for a reason; even the POTUS does not get to choose which ones he likes and which ones he doesn't. Anyone got a muzzle we can put on this pretender-in-chief???

@RK Sprau,

How many judges pronounced slavery constitutional?

How many judges pronounced Jim Crow, segregation and Dred Scott Constitutional?

Were they wrong? Yes, indeed. Try arguing for their positions in today's political climate. One is pronounced racist for disagreeing with the President's policy, any policy, for whatever reason. This was predicted.

If you read Judge Vinson's ruling and not just the media-lite's Cliff's Notes, there is very reasoned backing the decision. If the health insurance mandate is Constitutional, then there are no longer any limits to the enumerated powers the Founders restricted the government to. Should the government require everyone to purchase GM vehicles, since doing so would support government policy, and government owned industry? If the health insurance mandate is allowed to stand, then logically dictating what else anyone may or may not purchase follows.

@ RKSprau -- I will approach the spiritual angle a bit more differently than most.  I have sought to find a way to put ALL of Scripture within my thoughts on this subject; forgive me if my approach tends to neglect areas that yours has not.

My first point is: God is the supreme power in all of creation.  He creates all that is, and nothing that is was created without His will.  This establishes that even homosexuals are the creations of God's will - not the fashioning of Satan.

My second point is: God does nothing without purpose.  Every rock, mountain, and drop of rain carries His purpose within its being.  Each fish, bird, stray dog, and (yes) even homosexual goes through life with God's purpose built in.  In all but the last case, that purpose is fulfilled with each waking moment; in the case of the homosexual, being human lends a measure of uncertainty to the obedience to divine will as it is built into the design.

My third point is: God loves ALL of His creations.  Think, for a moment, of anything you have wrought: a poem, a portrait, a crafted item, and recall the attachment you had for that thing; the likelihood that you might consign to destruction such work of your head, your heart, and your hands is small indeed.  Consider, further, that Scripture has it that not a sparrow falls to the ground but that He knows it - and that we are worth many sparrows - and our value in His eyes becomes vastly superior to any thing that we might manufacture out of our love and care.

From these points, it may be concluded that gay people are what God made them to be; that they do, therefore, have a purpose foreordained by God Almighty; and that purpose has nothing whatever to do with stoking the hellfires.

If, however, we are to understand that God has mandated that certain things are not to be done - by the combination of His design and His commands - we may still reasonably conclude that there is some other reason for the God-ordained existence of a combination of circumstances and conditions that could otherwise lead to actions and behaviors against His mandate for us.

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."  Isaiah 55:8-9

From here, I can only conjecture.  It is, however, my assertion that God's will and intent for homosexual people is that they serve Him as examples to those sanctimonious among us (straight, socially-acceptable, top-of-the-food-chain types) that only by denial and subjection of our personal and carnal desires - those most likely to lead us astray - can we be most like Him.

It is not, after all, in the being homosexual that the sin is, but in the ACTING homosexual.  It is truly sad that homosexual people so often define themselves by what they do, rather than defining what they do as part of what they are; they are God's creations, not acts of rebellious sin.  As we are bidden hate the sin and not the sinner ("Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum", St Augustine  Letter 211), it stands to reason that the people are not to be hated - much to the contrary of Westboro Baptist Church's loose canon (pundigrion intended).

In order to avoid the sin that they are so intrinsically prone to, homosexual people must reject their carnal desires and urges - both because these are sinful in the eyes of God, and because doing so is a clear example of denial of the very most basic and fleshly temptations.  By so rejecting this temptation, homosexual people become instruments of God's will, speaking to the rest of us of how much less we have to turn from - being able to veil our peccadilloes, with or without the assistance of general society - than they, who are held in such general contempt.

It is, perhaps, more than may be hoped for that mankind may find an appreciation for such efforts on their behalf.  Such trepidation as is most commonly the case does not, however, give confidence.

By way of curiosity: "I find today's piece inciteful in respects to gays..." was your use of "inciteful" meant as a clever double-entendre

As a Soldier and a commissioned officer in the U.S. Army I do not give a flying fig what a Soldier does in his or her personal life as long as they do their job. This is the thing that the gay rights groups seem to miss. When you are getting direct fire the last thing on your mind is whether Bob has a crush on Frank.

What is troubling is the Obama administration abandoning its duty to enforce the laws enacted by Congress. I personally see no issue with each state individually determining its own recognition of marriage. After all, this is an area constitutionally reserved to the states. This administration has shown a remarkable contempt for the rule of law. President Obama can wrestle, struggle and grapple with anything he chooses as long as he does his job. If he has an issue with Service Members and how we handle our family (a family he apparently felt was not one he wanted to join I might add), then he should start by getting his own house in order. That must begin with doing his job. Defend the DOMA and advocate for its repeal if that helps the President deal with his emotional issues. But defend the law of the land.

"Undermining the Third Pillar of Liberty" by Alexander was an excellent piece. I see these freedoms being taken away from us one by one and wonder where and when will it end. Can our country survive nearly 2 more years of Obama? It is frightening, but I am so thankful for the Patriot Post Staff and postings that keep us well informed. We must not give in, we must stand strong to save our freedoms for ourselves and future generations. Thanks again, Patriot Post.

"Of course, he subscribes to the notion of a "living constitution," which is completely anathema to our Founder's intent."

Not sure who you think our founder was but one of 'em, Jefferson, clearly disagreed with you. The fact that Justice Thomas agrees with you is further evidence that you should reconsider.

Proof via the scientific method, just saying? When they have to lie and create "facts" to support their leftist views of what they call manmade global warming? You say you don't believe in elves, goblins or the Easter Bunny, but apparently you believe that obama is suited to be president of the United States! You can't go much farther against the laws of nature and logic than that. If you don't want laws based on religious tenets you're a bit late. And your question regarding the rock? Geez, can you come up with something less juvenile than that? But don't worry. I'm not trying to push religion on you and I'm not praying for you. I have to say honestly, I really just don't care. I just object to the fact that you say on one hand that you have no problem if people want to believe, but then you denigrate them by comparing their beliefs, thousands of years old, to elves, ghosts and goblins. You are simply a typical liberal who wishes to push YOUR beliefs on everyone else, just as this administration is doing.

Just saying,

Thanks for your remarks about what you believe in. I will pray for your soul and hope that God will provide you with faith to see that which you can not prove.

Religous zealots shall lose, big time. Haahaa. They shall be held accountable for everything they've done! Legal equality is more powerful than your precious, anti-gay, marriage bans. Reap what you sow!

There is some very good comments and discussion points here. The main question I have in mind is "When will the majority of Americans wake up and realize that Obama is only for Obama." I can not wait for the opportunity to rid our great country of such a blemish in 2012.

Excellent work. BO continues stumbling along.

I just wonder how the Muslims deal with the homo acts purported to have been commited by Obamanation while running around drugged up in Chicago? Isn't it supposed to be an unforgiveable act for one Muslim to lie to another Muslim?

"Having said that, are we bigots? Seriously and don't quote the Bible to me for I'm well adept in it's numerous flaws. I know someone will come after me for saying such a thing."

So you, RK Sprau, are the "searcher for Truth", you came to the Bible and found "numerous flaws", just keep searching, Matt 21:42,44 "...The Stone...rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?...And whosoever shall fall on this Stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder."

"adept in it's(the Bible!!??) numerous flaws", you better remember, you are the creature not the Creator.

Worst of all is that these perverts are granted sway to redefine words for their own sake, coin words that paint their perversion in a better light, and propose laws that provide preferential treatment for everyone that embraces this perversion as their own.

People are not born "Gay" as these miscreants like to claim; they choose to pursue this deviant behavior all on their own. God gave us free will so that we can come to know his love. These perverts have rejected Gods love and now they demand that everybody else jump off the cliff with them - misery does love company.

It is folly to consider that freedom can survive if ever we remove from the minds of man that it is of God

Thomas Jefferson

We have our freedom because of our faith; we do not have our faith because of our freedom

George W. Bush

"Marriage is in its origin a contract of natural law. It is the parent, and not the child of society; the source of civility and a sort of seminary of the republic." – Justice Joseph Story

"[T]he first principle of society consists in the marriage tie, the next in children, the next in a family within one roof, where everything is in common. This society gives rise to the city, and is, as it were, the nursery of the commonwealth." – Marcus Tullius Cicero (circa 50 BC),

Marriage pre-dates government and is fundamental to the existence of government. Marriage is therefore not defined by government, but by natural law. Marriage is and always has been defined as a relationship between a man and a woman out of which children are naturally and ordinarily brought into the society. Naturally, marriage cannot occur between two of the same gender, for this very reason. It is immaterial that children are not always conceived in marriage, nor that some may not conceive, just as it matters not whether a gun is ever fired, or a ship ever sailed. All three are designed and exists for a purpose, whether to procreate, to fire, or to sail.

Same-sex "marriage" requires redefinition of the word marriage, and the disruption of nature. It is unscientific and nonsensical. The fact that in nature two things are not able to be or do the same thing does not make them unequal, it makes them different. Two of the same gender simply cannot be "married" because they are different than two of opposite genders who can be. That is why denying interracial marriage makes no sense, but denying same sex "marriage" does make sense. It is gender, not race that makes a couple eligible for marriage. It is being of the same gender that makes them naturally incapable of being married.

Now the faggots are going to be integrated into combat as well as women and lesbos, lets give the valiant Marines a break and send these vote getters to the front lines and let them show that they can be real warriors. No desk jobs, no work in the kitchens, no recruiting, just front line combat lines. Obama and Holder can't complain about that.

"Marriage is and always has been defined as a relationship between a man and a woman."

Nonsense. Stick to what you know, if anything.

And leave it to rightwingers to not be able to distinguish between historical fiction like their bible - and history. Wonder how many believe Rand's Atlas Shrugged is historical. And werewolves.

Our President who claims to be a christian and can not defend the defence of marriage act shows his true colors proving he is about as much a christian as Judas Iscariot who betrayed our Lord.

And where in the Constitution is the right given to the federal government to protect whatever society might exist in the cocuntry? I was in the Army quite a while, and nobody ever asked me to take an oath to protect society, the pillars of society, morals or anything like that.

Where in article I is the text that gives the legislature the power to write legislation that tells citizens how to live? To protect marriage or the society that depends on it? How is telling us that, if we are going to marry, we must marry a female any better than telling us that, if we make enough money, we must buy medical insurance? I'll admit I didn't read every word just now, but I read at least the introductory sentence of every article and section of the Constitution (and all of most of them), and I didn't read anything that made me question the understanding I have based on previous readings that were more thorough.

I agree that marriage helps society, but that doesn't mean defending it is the business of the the federal government. If you wonder how the government got the idea that it could regulate our health, you might want to consider that we have long allowed it to legislate our morals and lifestyles. If you're OK with the government telling you who you can marry, who you can have sex with and what you can ingest, inhale, create or enjoy, you should have no problem with the government telling you how you should spend some of your money. Just because you happen to agree with the prevailing laws about marriage doesn't mean the government has any right to pass laws about marriage in the first place.

If I'm wrong about what's in the constitution I'll be happy to be corrected. But I'll need a citation, not an argument.

Hi, Retired Naval Officer here, happily married for over 30 years to the same wonderful Christian woman. Have raised 3 terrific Christian sons. I voted for President Obama and continue to support him. By the way I served with homosexuals and bisexuals from the 70's through the 90's when I retired. They served our country well and never bothered me or our units in the least. They did their job and did not adversely affect morale. Beyond that, I am not their judge.

The military is a hierarchical society. Would any parents want their son or daughter in basic training to be under a homosexual drill sergeant who might take a liking to them? In my 30 years as an Army officer homosexuals were soon gone and that policy should still prevail.

I grieve indescribably for our soldiers dying, being wounded, disfigured, crippled, mained for life in this endless, aimless undeclared un-Constitutional conflict now going on for 10 years for two reasons: Chevron pipeline in Afghanistan and Halliburton in Iraq and the Merchants of Death known as the Military Industrial complex. America's enemies are not the Muslims 7,000 miles away, but the anti-God, anti-American, anti-Constitution gang of 545 criminals and reprobates (with a few exceptions) in Washington, DC . God Help Us! He's the only one who can.

I want to disawow the other Just Saying strongly. He is not me, and now I have to change my handle.

I was here first, but I guess that's of no import now.

I want to say I strongly agree withAlexander's essay. Homosexuality used to be classified as a mental disorder, until the "gay" lobbied enough to get the doctors to change it.

And what does this man need to to do before he is stopped?

From Founders Quote Daily, Monday 2/28/11:"The ordaining of laws in favor of one part of the nation, to the prejudice and oppression of another, is certainly the most erroneous and mistaken policy. An equal dispensation of protection, rights, privileges, and advantages, is what every part is entitled to, and ought to enjoy." --Benjamin Franklin, Emblematical Representations, 1774

If we must teach homosexuality Sensitivity to our

Military Recruits,In 50 yrs.Or less one will see

the fall of our FOUNDERS ACHIEVEMENT!

If "full faith and credit" of licenses and acts of states is a general principle of our Federalism, why is one state's issuance of a license to carry a firearm concealed or openly Not recognized in every state? Most concealed carry licenses are issued after a state-approved training course on the legal issues, a demonstration of proficiency with the handgun, extensive background checks by law enforcement agencies, photographs and fingerprints, and payment of significant money. And there have been very small percentages of these "state-certified good guys with guns" doing any criminal acts, much less criminal acts with violence. And many or maybe most have liability insurance.

How come no full faith and credit?

Mark,

Your leadership through ESSENTIAL LIBERTY and essays posted are shoulder to shoulder with my view. Receiving Essential Liberty on Dec, 14, 2010 as a gift from Conservative Connections and reading it about the 15th of Jan. 2011. Reading first principles.......confirmed a connection to understanding foundational principles. A powerful influence for Citizens of the USA to identify themselves individually. I would like to met you sometime this year......Few men have the ability to express the founding principles of our Nation you provide to Americans.... I plan to seed down this Nation with Essential Liberty....for the RESTORATION OF AMERICA......Every day, Mark Alexander's name is mentioned in my work for our Country. Thankyou for all your work, patriotism, and efforts to restore our Nation.. God bless you. Is there a good time when we could met face to face? Maybe you will be in Nebraska.....I am associated with the American Legion Post 346, Liberty, Nebraska, Tea Party Patriots, Consevatives Tommarow, Consevative Connections, Concerned Citizens, Patriot Union, and the Republican Party.

With Great Admiration to your Devotion,

Respectfully,

PS Two men confronted me in the American Legion about Essential Liberty and my distribution...advising me not to be passing it out through the American Legion.....They had checked with a lawyer....He advised I could not distribute ESSENTIAL LIBERTY.......Simply amazing how far we have desended Mark! These men have actually forgotten who we are, or maybe they never understood in there entire life.. Much work for us tomarrow!!!! My efforts continue undaunted.

Thank God I'm retired. This is appalling.

JSmith, So now, you can "redeem the time" to work to destroy the "works of the devil."

Don't go to sleep and don't quit. Much to be done, You have "more time" so use it for the Glory of God and the saving of this Glorious Country.

"Retirement is a myth", Our enemies don't retire, nor should we. Consecrate what is left to the Glory of God and "enlist" to turn back this "destruction."

For God & Country

“America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within.”

I think the greatest threat to the nation and family is the parents lack of involvement and participation in their childrens education. Money, boosting SAT scores and attempts to make education entertaining does not teach a child how to think. Every anti gay editorial should instead be an encouragement to parents to turn off the TV and sit down with their child while they study.

As a retired 24 year Veteran, I resent the anti gay community trying to protect us as an excuse for forming political constituencies based on hatred and fear. All the younger guys that replaced me as I retired know better and their only concern is that everyone contributes to the team. I can only see your platform supporting the few old nutcases left in the military, people that act like Fred Phelps.

At the most basic level, you are expecting the government, through legislation to make the family stronger ... what a joke.

Dear Just Saying,

You trip yourself in your scientific explanation.

Surely as knowledgeable as you are regarding the scientific method, you must have misspoken- your fatal flaw? Theories are never proven, only supported.

Additionally, the inability to disprove is not proof.

Would you like to try again?

On the Obama,Military and Homosexuals issue. Some readers may be confused with how could a Muslim (the President) condone the homosexual behavior? Let me remind them: the Couran allows a Muslim to lie, as long as it is a means to an end.
