Obama: Defining the man’s heartbeat. A key spokesman for the “soon-to-be” Obama administration answered a question on youtube today. When asked what the Obama administration would do about the policy of “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” and Gays in the military. His response was simple and quick. The policy will go away and Gays will serve openly in the Military.
The policy has worked well since 1993 when Bill Clinton signed it. The big picture here is that the Gay community wants not only to be treated equally but rather that they want extra protections under the law, protections that the rest of us don’t have and would probably never ask for.
Who is next, child molesters, rapists, bigamy, high ranking married officers with a couple of ladies on the side; after all, are not of these also defined as a “personal sexual preference”. No group of society should enjoy protections under the law not enjoyed by all. If Gays can serve openly then should all regardless of their sexual desires.
For a man who never served in the military to make a decision like this without consulting his top military commanders tells a lot of his character. Now I have to believe that this decision comes from his heart and not for political advantage because the Gay community does NOT carry the voting power to put someone in office or keep him out office.
This alone would not be so troubling, but, combined with his stand on abortion, it becomes alarming.I will continue to stay on top of these two issues over the next year and promise to become strongly opinionated.

Even in Israel, service to the army is compulsory.
Gays serve openly…i guess when it gets down to the nitty-gritty of it…..when Israel needs the help of its citizen army such as it does at this time, thats probably the last thing on their

`Comments from Jon are well received. My points and attack are not on the Gay community but the lack of fairness from the left, in particuliar, the left wing bias news media reporting on the subject.
