“Our past experience as military leaders leads us to be greatly concerned about the impact of repeal [of the law] on morale, discipline, unit cohesion, and overall military readiness. We believe that imposing this burden on our men and women in uniform would undermine recruiting and retention, impact leadership at all levels, have adverse effects on the willingness of parents who lend their sons and daughters to military service, and eventually break the All-Volunteer Force.” - Statement in support of retaining the current law signed by over 1,000 retired flag and general officers.

While the entire country remains distracted over the long-overdue finale to the ObamaCare debate, the Obama Administration and Progressive Democrats are already moving full-speed ahead with efforts to further transform the United States by doing everything in its power to hobble our defense capabilities by allowing openly-gay people to serve in the nation’s armed forces. Despite the hurt feelings and emotional arguments of those intent on socially-engineering alleged “equality” into the ranks, there are literally a thousand reasons I can think of why this is an extremely bad idea.

How can progressive, liberal Democrats continue with their hostile government takeovers, bribery, cronyism, profligate spending and coddling of terrorists in the current political environment? The answer is quite simple, really. As the great Michael Savage was first to point out, liberalism is a mental disorder.

The Economy

Most of our problems weren’t acquired overnight, so they won’t be fixed overnight. Realizing that, I will promote economic relief by immediately sponsoring or supporting legislation to: eliminate all capital gains, inheritance, personal and corporate income taxes and replacing them with a minimal national sales tax for most consumers (the Fair Tax); freeze then cut federal spending; cut the number and power of government employees; and balance the budget. Less money going to nonproductive government employees means more money going to productive private sector employees, job creation, and more freedom. Government employees do not deserve our money, or to run our businesses. When the money goes away, the tyrants go away. President Reagan was correct, government isn’t the solution, it’s the problem. This is not rocket science. The more someone takes from you, the poorer and less free you are. Read More »
