Check out today's video clip with ADF Attorney Austin Nimocks for his take on how this repeal would silence Christians in all walks of military life.
As Bob Maginnis points out in FRC's Mission Compromised booklet, introducing open homosexuals into the military would seriously impact chaplains. They may be censored from speaking against homosexual behavior in chapels or counsel a service member confused about his sexuality to abstain from homosexual conduct. What's more, they could face increased pressure to marry same-sex couples. These threats to religious liberty would make chaplains who stick by their convictions vulnerable, and some of them might choose leave the military altogether.
This move openly flouts the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which defines marriage for all federal purposes as the union of one man and one woman.
While you and I acknowledge the right of all Americans to participate in our government, it seems clear there is a deliberate conspiracy to give preference to those who will uphold ... and even ADVANCE, AT ALL COSTS, LEGAL OR NOT ... the radical homosexual agenda.
We cannot let this happen! We must make our voice heard, for the sake of the next generation."
The Lord says in Ezekiel 18:30 (NKJV), “Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity will not be your ruin.”

Borelli: "I'm a black, female conservative. I'm often targeted by individuals who call me all kinds of names: racist, an Uncle Tom, a traitor - you name it. I'd like to know if the NAACP will issue a statement condemning those individuals who were doing that."Shelton: "Why, yes, ma'am... Just give us some details... The very broad answer is... yes, we repudiate anybody calling you a bad name in the political arena."
"Sen . Graham insisted that the Senate "should have a special and strong reason for the denial of confirmation." How about personally twisting the opinion of two medical groups to advance the killing of half-delivered babies? Or using her power to shun the U.S. military from college campuses in a time of war? Yet Sen. Graham insists she "passes [the] test." "[The Constitution] puts upon me a standard that's stood the test of time," he said. "Is the person qualified?" Absolutely not. She has zero experience as a judge. The only relevant legal experience she does have is as a political lawyer. "Is it a person of good character?" The plot to substitute her own judgment for that of trained physicians' shows, at the very least, that Kagan is devoid of any professional standards.
"Are they someone that understands the difference between being a judge and being a politician?" In her graduate thesis, she took the idea of judicial activism to new heights, writing that it is "not necessarily wrong" for judges "to mold... the law in order to promote certain ethical values and achieve certain social ends." In each of these categories, Elena Kagan doesn't even measure up to Sen. Graham's own standards! Unfortunately for Republicans, his absurd rationalization of Kagan leaves them virtually powerless to block her on the Senate floor. By abandoning conservatives, Sen. Graham pushed Democrats across the 60-vote threshold they need to stave off any procedural challenges. And by abandoning Americans, he may have pushed the court into a bold new era of political activism."

Gee, I wonder where the drugs the cartel sells are going? Couldn’t possibly be into Texas and Arizona could it? Yeah, I didn’t think so either. After all, the only people who cross our southern border are those hard working family types looking to make a better life for their children. Except why did the administration that Ms. Napolitano flacks for put up signs in our desert – thirty miles from Phoenix – warning that we should stay out?
I can’t wait for the cartel to set one off in El Paso or Tucson or Phoenix. It will of course be George Bush’s fault."

When Governor McDonnell and I took office in January, we set two key goals for our first year in office:
Getting Virginia's economy moving again and creating jobs for Virginia's families, and
Eliminating the $4.2B budget shortfall we inherited and turning our budget shortfalls into surpluses again.
This week we delivered on both of those promises.
Turning Shortfalls Into Surpluses
On Wednesday, Governor McDonnell announced that Virginia ended the 2010 fiscal year with a $220M budget surplus. That is an amazing accomplishment given the fact that six months ago we were facing a $1.8B budget shortfall in the 2010 fiscal year.
There are three factors that helped us accomplish this positive result.
Earlier this year we made the difficult decisions that were necessary to reduce spending and bring our budget into balance without raising taxes.
We used incentives to encourage state agencies to save money, rather than spend their entire budget in the final months of the fiscal year, and
We are beginning to see the positive effects of economic growth in Virginia.
As a result of this surplus, we will be able to invest in some important government programs.
For example, $18M will be directed to Virginia's public schools; approximately $20M will be dedicated to the Transportation Trust Fund; $22M will go to the water Quality Improvement Fund; and $82M will be used to provide a 3% bonus for state employees, who have not received a pay raise in three years.
We will appropriate the remaining surpluses later this year in accordance with statutory requirements and final financial calculations.
Creating Jobs For Virginia's Families
On Thursday, Governor McDonnell and I gave an update on our efforts to get Virginia's economy moving again and create jobs for Virginia's families. Fortunately, it was more good news.
Since February 2010, Virginia has added 71,500 net new jobs. This is the third highest jobs creation rate in the nation.
During the first six months of the administration, Virginia has closed 110 economic development deals, which will eventually create over 7,100 new jobs and more than $1B in capital investment.
Interestingly, 80% of these new jobs have been created in the private sector, as opposed to the public sector; and the new jobs announcements have been evenly distributed across our state, with significant economic development occurring in rural parts of Virginia, where it is really needed.
These positive results show that we are on the right track. We are working hard and we are making smart decisions that will better position Virginia to take advantage of a future economic resurgence.
Despite these positive results, we still have a lot of work to do to lead Virginia to a period of greater economic prosperity.We will not stop until we return our unemployment rates to historic levels and every Virginian has the opportunity to access to a good paying job.
Likewise, we will keep our focus on controlling government spending and making certain that our budgets are balanced.
These results show what conservative leadership can do and how government can work for the people when it adheres to sound principles. Wouldn't it be great if we could get our friends in Washington to take a page from the Virginia playbook?
