Gays in the Military

I'm going to let y'all in on a secret. The reason why liberal groups are pushing for gays in the military is not for the "rights" of gays, but it is for completely subversive reasons. Hardcore leftists hate the military, but the military is all-volunteer force. Generally, the military has done a fine job recruiting the amount of soldiers it needs. One way to destroy that, is to inject the virus known as the openly gay male.

Almost everyone has at least a gay cousin. Maybe you work with one or two. Whatever, it doesn't bother most people in their day-to-day lives. However conditions in the military are different. Showers are communal, and sleeping quarters are shared. Even guys who are very tolerant of gays do not want to shower with an openly gay male. A guy who is completely comfortable showering with an openly gay male is more commonly known as a bisexual.

If openly gay males are allowed in the military, recruiting will plummet. The leftists know this and this is why they push the agenda. Many average gays don't care and don't want to join the military, they don't want to get married, and don't want kids. The odd few and the community in general are being used by the radical left wingers. It's the exact same mentality towards gay scoutmasters in the Boy Scouts. Gay scoutmasters would destroy the Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts profess a duty to God and counry, things liberals detest.

Lots of credit is due to Roberts, who showed his Constitutional prowess in these hearings.

With Chief Justice John Roberts Jr. leading the way, the Supreme Court on Tuesday seemed poised to uphold a federal law that requires law schools to give equal campus access to military recruiters as a condition of receiving federal funds.

In oral arguments in the case Rumsfeld v. Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights, lawyer E. Joshua Rosenkranz of the New York office of Heller Ehrman attacked the law on First Amendment grounds as a form of compelled speech requiring law schools to adopt the message "Join the Army, but not if you're gay." But his arguments generated little sympathy from justices across the spectrum, who seemed swayed by Solicitor General Paul Clement's argument that the law is needed to enable the military to recruit "the best and the brightest" into the armed services. Since 1990, the Association of American Law Schools has had a formal policy against allowing law students to be recruited by employers who discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation. Those schools' "refusal to send the message of the military" deserves First Amendment protection, Rosenkranz asserted.

The Forum for Academic and Institutional Rights is a coalition of more than 20 law chools and faculties, including Georgetown University Law Center, where Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's husband, Martin, is a professor. She has not recused. The law at issue is known as the Solomon Amendment, named after the late New York Republican Rep. Gerald Solomon who sponsored it. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the statute last year....

Roberts fired back that there is also a "right to raise the military." He and other justices seemed to view the Article I power of Congress to "raise and support armies" as a justification for the recruiting statute that outweighs law schools' First Amendment objections....

At another point, Justice John Paul Stevens asked Clement if a university could "symbolically" register its objections by giving military recruiters equal access but at a different campus location from other recruiters. Roberts interjected, in a mocking tone, "Sort of separate but equal."
