figmo bohica I do not know if that was the intent of repeal of don't ask, don't tell but it will be in part the result, along with the fact that there is political pressure from the lefties to reduce our defense budget substantially. We have airplanes in service that are older than the pilots who are flying them. We need a president that understands the importance of having a "superior" military. Obama wants to merge us with NATO.

When you cut out the "All Volunteer" force what is left to protect this country? With no one willing to join the military because of pay and benefits how do you keep a standing military force? Only one way, the draft. What more OUNCES do you really need to prove this fact. Wake up, smell the roses, we are being lead down the path to be come a third world country and come under the protection of the UN. Once there are enough libs to call for and get a Con-Con there will be no more Constitution, if you don't believe that read up on what happened when they had one when the United States was under the "Articles of Confederation." During the Con-Con only certain changes were to be made to the Articles of Confederation. Instead they chucked the whole thing and came up with the Constitution we have today. It could and will happen again.

But let's hope not, for this could very well lead to revoluation and that wouldn't be any fun.

Rubicon,

You said President Obama wants to merge us with NATO. The US is part of NATO and has been since NATO began.

I cannot even begin to comment on Figmo's posting. Some postings are better left completely alone.

The gay marriage movement has not got a damn thing to do with gay marriage. Who cares?

The real reason behind this movement and others like it is to be sure that no individual or group has anything that they can call their own. It is just another step toward socialism and communism. Another attack on any form of individualism

Think about it.

If our nation did go back to the draft, can you imagine the new list of "disabilities" all the able-bodied misfits would press for, to be exempted from the draft?? What they're calling "the new normal" will suddenly be a "disability".... Like Chaz Bono if he/she/it one day gets "bottom surgery":

"Ecstatic about having the surgery, Bono said he hated his breasts from the moment they developed and that he has felt much better since having them removed.

"I never wear a shirt at home anymore, ever," he said.

Anatomically, Bono remains a woman from the waist down and said he doesn't have any plans to undergo corrective surgery yet because that type of surgery is still risky.

"I'm just kind of waiting to see what happens and hoping that there are medical advances made and it gets a little better because right now the risk-reward ratio is just not quite right," he said. "The majority of [transgender people] don't have bottom surgery because of that."

But even without physically having a p**is, Bono said he has always felt like a man, long before taking hormone injections.

"That's not to say I wouldn't like a p**is," he said. "I really would like one and I hope that someday I will get one."

His partner also said she completely views Bono now as a male. "I don't even think of him at all as a woman. I haven't for years," Elia said.

Since the transition, Bono said he's the same person he's always been, but just in a different body.

"I am the male version of my former self," he said."

buggyone, you really need to read more. The US have never once allowed a foreign NATO commander to command US Troops. Even when our troops are part of a NATO operation they are commanded by a US Officer. Once the US is completely merged with NATO our armed forces will just be part of a world controled army and could be used against citizens of this country. Would you really like that to happen?

I'm confused Bono and her girlfriend were attracted to each other because they are leisbians. so what does bono do make as much of a transformation to male as s/he could such that his/her girlfriend now views him/her as a male. So did this gay couple turn straight? semi-straight?

CMANN: You have no idea what you're talking about. I have gays in my family and they will refute your assertation 100%.
