The Left’s drive to homosexualize the American military is about to take its next major leap forward, as the most resistant branch of the military, Marines currently fighting Islamic fundamentalists in Afghanistan, will receive re-education classes about open homosexuality. The propaganda push comes as the brass implements the new law, signed by President Obama, allowing open homosexuals into the armed forces.
Maj. Gen. Richard Mills (yes, “General Mills“) revealed that Marines currently in combat will receive these classes as part of a teleconference this week from Afghanistan’s Helmand Province. He promised troops in Helmand and Nimroz will receive the re-education “as soon as we can get them in an environment where they can pay attention.”
Helmand and Nimroz also happen to be the areas where fighting is heaviest.
Mills insisted of the training, “I really don’t think it’s going to be earthshaking,” although he simultaneously promised it would be “extensive.” Mills added, not to worry, “Young Marines will be receptive to it.”
That line contradicts Mills’ longtime superior. Recently retired Marine Corps. Commandant Gen. James Conway, the branch’s highest-ranking official, polled the troops and found “an overwhelming majority [of Marines] would like not to be roomed with a person that is openly homosexual.” He added, “My own surveys indicate that [this aversion is] not age-dependent.”
The choice for this reeducation highlights the Obama regime’s thuggish nature. The president wants to force an anti-military proposal down the throats of those who most oppose it while they are in the thick of a war he has handled badly. This should hardly surprise. The majority of Democrats, a full 52 percent according to a poll commissioned last July by the Military Culture Coalition, want to punish military men who oppose open homosexuality in the military.
A new lawsuit sheds light on the consequences of the Democrats’ social engineering. On Tuesday, 17 former service members filed a lawsuit alleging rape and sexual assault have become an accepted part of the armed forces. The plaintiffs — two of whom are men — accused the Defense Department of failing “to take reasonable steps to prevent plaintiffs from being repeatedly raped, sexually assaulted and sexually harassed by federal military personnel.” Sexual assaults in the military increased 11 percent in 2009-10 — including 16 percent in combat areas.
Somehow, placing athletic, lonely young people in close proximity to one another has not reduced the incidence of sexual contact. Things got worse for females after Bill Clinton skirted prohibitions against putting women into combat roles.
Throwing homosexuals into the mix means harassment, nepotism, abuse, and unwanted sexual advances will become an equal opportunity benefit of service.
…Provided any heterosexuals remain enlisted. A Military Times poll taken in December 2008 found that 24 percent of servicemen would leave the military or consider leaving if the political authorities repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” with 10 percent saying they would definitely resign.
Obama wants to assure he has the chance to brainwash some of them before they do.

Pretending To Love Jason Collins
I suppose Monday, April 29, 2013 will go down in history as a great day for America. Jason Collins (right in above picture) came out of the closet to announce to the world that he is a homosexual. He has been depicted as a “hero,” a “trailblazer,” and as “our Jackie Robinson”. Kobe Bryant was one of the first to congratulate Jason for his courage. Michelle Obama was quick to announce her support for Jason: ”So proud of you, Jason Collins! This is a huge step forward for our country. We’ve got your back!”
Bill Clinton couldn’t help but bloviate on the controversial topic, declaring that Collins’ announcement was “an important moment for professional sports and in the history of the LGBT community.” In case you may have forgotten, this is the same president who signed into law the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996 while he carried on a secret affair with Monica Lewinsky. It was also Bill Clinton who signed the Don’t Ask Don’t Tell policy, which stated that an openly gay, lesbian, or bisexual service member would of necessity be discharged from the military.
Chelsea Clinton, a former classmate of Collins at Stanford University, tweeted her support: ”I am very proud of my friend Jason Collins for having the strength & courage to be the first openly gay player in the NBA”. Chelsea claims credit for helping her father finally ‘evolve to the truth’ about homosexuality.
Unfortunately, Bill Clinton represents the culture of America. What was once condemned as wrong is now not only tolerated; it is enthusiastically accepted. It is now ‘cool’ to be gay. Were we wrong then and now we are right, or were we right then and now we are wrong? Human nature does not evolve toward the truth; rather, it leans toward sin. The Apostle Paul described his natural struggle with sin in his letter to the Romans. (Romans 7:23-25)
Not to be outdone by the Clintons, Barack Obama weighed in on the matter through White House Spokesman Jay Carney: ” We view that (Collins announcement) as another example of the progress that has been made and the evolution that has been taking place in this country and commend him for his courage and support him.” I am reminded of another call Obama made to Sandra Fluke to support her as she clamored for free contraceptives. I also remember a call to the Occupy group that camped out on Wall Street to encourage their rebellion. I remember a “beer summit” in support of Harvard Professor Henry Gates, who made unfounded accusations of racism against a Cambridge police officer.
Please wait while I pause….still pausing….thinking….trying to remember. I can’t remember any calls to injured American servicemen. I do remember a vague empty promise to get to the bottom of the Benghazi incident. It certainly seems that we have a president who is more than eager to lend his support to divisive issues but feels little motivation to create patriotism and loyalty to the country he serves.
I know I’m going to get slam-dunked for what I am about to write. It always happens when I express my opinion on this issue. I don’t know Jason Collins personally. It seems I would like him if I did know him. Are those supporters of Jason Collins really expressing love for a friend? Among those of us in Christian circles, we like to refer to it as ‘tough love’. It is the determination to defend truth, even in situations where it generates pain. Someone needs to tell Jason Collins the truth about homosexuality, not because they hate him but because they love him.
While nearly everyone will commend Collins for his courage to declare himself a homosexual, few will commend ESPN’s Chris Broussard for having the courage to tell the truth. Who is a real friend of Jason Collins? Is it Bill or Chelsea Clinton? Is it Barack or Michelle Obama? They are jumping on the bandwagon for political exposure. They are like parasites leaching off of every individual who has found their way into the national spotlight. Jason, your real friend is Chris Broussard.
The sports analyst expressed his opinion of ESPN’s “Outside the Lines”: “I’m a Christian. I don’t agree with homosexuality,” Broussard said. “I think it’s a sin, as I think all sex outside of marriage between a man and a woman is. If you’re openly living in unrepentant sin … that’s walking in open rebellion to God and to Jesus Christ,” he added.
(Please wait while I applaud….clapping hands…feeling proud…stilling applauding the courage of Chris Broussard.)
Earl Fowlkes is the president and CEO of the Center for Black Equity, a group that supports black individuals who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered. He made a ludicrous attempt to compare Jason Collins with Jackie Robinson: ”…he will be a little, miniature Jackie Robinson.” The attempt of the homosexuals to hijack the Civil Rights Movement is outrageous. Martin Luther King fought for rights that were being denied to those of a specific skin color. Our race is predetermined before birth.
There is no scientific evidence that people are born gay. Sexual orientation is not written in our DNA; it is more about how we define ourselves. Ironically, Jason Collins has a twin brother who revealed that he was shocked when he learned his brother was gay. With no evidence to support a genetic cause, we have descended to the level of granting rights for certain behaviors. As you can only imagine, opening this Pandora’s Box will only lead to more confusion and controversy.
Chris Broussard is the lone voice crying in the wilderness. Homosexual behavior is a sin that distresses the heart of a holy God. If a holy God is to remain holy, he must one day administer justice for the sin of homosexuality. Broussard added more truth to the issue. He declared that all sex outside of marriage is sinful in the eyes of God. As Christians, we love Jason Collins. We love him enough to tell him the truth. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) Christians, to whom forgiveness has been granted through the Savior Jesus Christ, want to share this good news with whoever is willing to believe.
