I am unsure as to where, as a nation, we are headed if not for utter destruction. Obama may have been prophetic in saying: “We are no longer a Christian nation.“ If we are, we certainly do not act like it. The change promised during the last presidential cycle has taken us farther and farther from the guiding principles America was founded on and the core beliefs that set us apart from the rest of the world. We were at one time a great God-fearing nation, I am not sure we still maintain that status. We have allowed political correctness and fear of being castigated for opposing deviant behavior to rule the day.

The Obama administration has worked tirelessly to erode the very backbone of modern civilization, the family unit. In doing so, they have used our military to initiate their plans for society. The changes sought by this administration are tacked onto defense spending bills to assure passage. Our military has become guinea pigs for social indoctrination and experimentation.

Just when you think things cannot get any worse, suddenly it does. Recently, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed a bill to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The bill introduced by Dianne Feinstein (D-Cal), former mayor of San Francisco, is misleadingly called “The Respect for Marriage Act of 2011.” Rumors are the Democrats are planning to attach it to the Defense Authorization bill as they have other similar measures.

They are willing to risk our brave men and women in uniform not having the goods and services they need in order to protect the country for passage of a bill to promote and appease the gay and lesbian lifestyle community.

According to the Williams Institute, a think tank devoted to LGBT research at UCLA, only 4 percent of the population identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.

This figure seems high and is according to other creditable research. At any rate, how deviant and un-American is that, to hold funding for the protectors of our country hostage to the LGBT agenda of the Democrats?

I suppose the Democrats believe they need to get all the social engineering legislation in place before the next election. It has been a succession of wrong-headed bills forcing the LGBT agenda down the throats of the other 96 percent of the population using our military as captive pawns to achieve their devious goals.

God help us.
