Don't ask, don't tell... Don't care!
My father-in-law recently asked me "how does this new change in military policy actually impact those in the military?" Of course referencing "don't ask, don't tell" I thought that it was a unique and intellectually driven question because those in the media and especially those pushing the movement would never want the opinion of those who would actually be affected by the policy shift. I thought to myself that the inept and lazy pop culture society that is the current culture within our country, I knew that I had to post on this topic. So, here is the bread and butter of the situation from the boots on the ground.
First the facts must be known. The original DADT legislation was passed by President William J. Clinton in 1993 with the intention that this policy would open the door to military service regardless of sexual orientation. The repeal of DADT was signed by President Barrack Hussein Obama in December of 2010 in the 11th hour of a lame duck session of Congress. The very same people who fought behind the scenes for political action to repeal the policy where the very same people fighting tooth and nail to end the policy. Yet the Progressive community organizers love to "use" and manipulate their own politically ignorant minions to believe that this policy is somehow the work of either conservative bible thumpers, Republicans or evil military leaders. The fact of the matter is; this policy was a failed liberal idea and they would sooner have the electorate judge policy by their intentions than by their results.
My astute view on the impact is, it simply does not impact me, and here is why.
(This is my disclaimer, the following is not politically correct so if you don't want to hear the unfiltered truth,
go away!)
The threat to the disciplined mentality and structure of the United States Armed Forces is the openly flamboyant "flaming" homosexual who uses the system to their advantage frivolously throwing out accusations of abuse or unequal treatment. The truth in this matter is; the basic military training environment is designed to filter out those incapable of accomplishing the simplest of military tasks, regardless of sexual preference. And here is where the whacked out journalists in today's incompetent media will freak out. The first time there is a whisper from our training bases that an openly gay trainee was injured by his peers the media will throw out accusations that it is because the trainee was a homosexual. When the truth would more likely be that this trainee was weak and not accomplishing their assignments at the expense of the fellow trainee's. The gay trainee's comrades where sick of carrying the weight left in the wake of the trainee's incompetence and in an effort to "motivate" the battle buddies lit the trainee up. Why is a gay trainee who is flamboyantly feminine or "metro" not capable of being in the military? Believe it or not the military is not for those who think the world should be filled with rainbows and lollipops. It is an organization for the strong of mind and heart. This general idea would apply to any individual regardless of sexual orientation. No deviations, no compromise.
I personally know several (as in more than one) openly gay soldiers (male and female) currently working in the ranks of the armed services. These members are honest with their fellow soldiers and guess what, they weren't dimed out by their friends, no paper work was filled and no Article 15's where issued. Surprise, the military takes care of their own! Who would have guessed!? Soldiers want the simplest of things; to go home at night and to survive deployments. Sexual preference simply doesn't factor in to most people's equations...
The most frustrating and morale busting issue with this topic is the ignorance of those that are pushing this issue in the media and in the hallways of the Pentagon. Those intolerable people are the Hollywood celebrities attempting to "act" their way to importance and the Washington politicians seeking their next 15 minutes of air time. If the movement was authentic why didn't the media interview former military members that had experienced the struggle or someone with authentic credibility with the issue. The movement in my opinion was hollow and propped up by progressives who think they own the moral high ground in society.

End All Racism!
Something that really irks me is when society, and the media in particular, misuse or manipulate the true definition of a word. For example the word racism. Take a hard look at the use of the word in society and honestly answer to yourself, why is it only whites can be racist? Why is it that a white politician has to be so defensive of the label?
The December 2002 comments made by Trent Lott during Strom Thurmond's 100th birthday became a political career killer. Trent Lott said the United States would have been better off had Strom won his presidential campaign. Though the quote itself was not racially charged, the time in history when Strom was running for president he was an open segregationist. It was obvious at the time of the comment that Lott intended the words to be a compliment to Thurmond at his 100th birthday, the media neglected to include the context in which the quote was used. To the contrary, where was the media during Robert Byrd's career in the senate? Where was the media when Bill Clinton justified Robert Byrd's history in the KKK as just a route used to get elected in the south?The unfair treatment of conservative politicians compared to liberal politicians is disturbingly obvious.
The latest example of reverse racism actually occurred during the 2008 Presidential election.
A case was filed with the Department of Justice but was dropped by Attorney General Eric Holder. The Assistant AG in charge of the investigation has now resigned in protest over the matter. Under the Bush administration Assistant AG's were fired for incompetence and that matter became a major media news headline for several months.
On Monday July 12th 2010, in Kansas City Missouri, the NAACP called for the public rebuttal to the Tea party movement claiming that the movement is a racially motivated organization portraying racist ideas... My response, name ONE! The media has been gunning for the organization since the Obama-care debates, if the Tea Party had tripped up and if just one member said something or did something that could easily be viewed as racist it would have plastered on every news source across the country, but that hasn't happened has it!? Nope... Yet the NAACP and it's institutional approach to racism has thrown a giant label on the grassroots movement in an attempt to disrupt and slow down the Tea Parties apparent power to elect conservatives. The attack on the Tea Party to me is a clear political move. The Tea Party makes the liberals in the NAACP very, very afraid...
The fact of this matter is; racism is immoral in any form.
"We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights."
There is not compensation for past transgressions when concerning civil rights. It is not justice to punish future generations for past generations mistakes, society must adjust the mistakes of the past to equality and progress forward. Justice should be the name of the game. Justice is a simply defined virtue; the quality of being just and fair. Every individual citizen of this country has a personal obligation to live their lives by this concept, plain and simple. Equal justice for all.
God Bless!

Chicago and guns, the breakdown
http://www.nbcchicago.com/blogs/ward-room/Daley-Vows-New-Gun-Ordinances-97328384.html
The Second Amendment to the United States Constitution states; A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Those who follow the religion that is progressive liberalism have many fundamental deficiencies that drive them to their misguided and often ignorant conclusions, however a major inability to identify the root cause to any socio-political problem consistently leads progressive leadership to ridiculous policy choices like that of Chicago's gun ban.
Talking points.
- What is the primary problem in Chicago?
- How does it impact an individuals right to defense?
- Who is doing the shooting and how do they get their weapons?
- Is there a world comparison?
- What is the fix?
After living in Chicago for two years I had a unique perspective from the inside. Working for a P.I. firm I was sent into some pretty nasty areas of the city and I will be honest, I was carrying. It is insane to go into the southland and not have some kind of personal defense plan. Like a line in the sand, the city is a warzone south of the loop. Gangs and drugs are the rule of law.
In the Summer of 2008 the city of Chicago's murder rate reached 125. The death toll in Iraq during the same period of time was 65. A story that was absolutely covered up by the Chicago media. The environment of anti guns is far easier to sell to the city that has a large minority population than it is to demonize the real enemy to the city which is a culture of gang violence fueled strongly by racial divisiveness. A divisive atmosphere not between whites and blacks, but more Blacks and Latinos. Google "MS13."
The Gun ban currently restricts all citizens from owning hand guns. So those law abiding members of society that have followed the rule of law throughout their lives and are currently under duress by evil people wielding guns cannot defend themselves. The citizen instead has to call the police who have an average response time of around 10 minutes leaving an opportunity for the bad guy to rob, murder and depart the area with time to spare before support arrives. The scenario is easy to read with very little compassion until you either know or experience first hand the helplessness and fear that a victim experiences. Think about it...
To continue down the list, the bad guys are overwhelmingly drug pushing gang members unidentifiable by most. The weapon of choice is obviously a gun. Like a carpenter needs a hammer, a drug pusher needs a gun. Guns are tools of the trade and this fact is indisputable and unpreventable. The removal of all guns is an impractical approach to the problem and does not solve the fundamental issue. Guns on the street are not subject to the laws of the government. There are no licensed firearm dealers who are required to register and back ground check every customer, there are no 3 day wait limits, there are no redundancies that prevent underage and illegal aliens from purchasing street weapons.
Preventing law abiding citizens the right to bear arms only impacts the law abiding citizen, not the criminal.
The comparison I can think of is London. The Brits banned guns and went through the city and forced their citizens to throw their weapons (even antiques) into giant wood chippers. Now they lead the world in violent knife assaults. Now, GOOGLE "knife wounds." Lovely isn't it...
The fix? Well, it won't be pretty or quick. The culture of violence currently in most major cities is the result of decades and generations of blaming an inanimate object for all of the woes of the world and not blaming the choices of the individual. So, if law abiding citizens could carry and thus defend themselves when assailed by those who wish to do evil the bad guys would soon realize that it isn't so easy to take from the innocent any longer...
