My opinion
The Military should not be allowed to usurp the laws of the land as passed by our elected officials in Congress. Is there anything in our Constitution and Bill of Rights that allows the military to do so--I think not?
If they go this direction, what will the military say when the gays in the military want to become polygamists with multiple gay partners?
Polygamy is certainly in Obama's family or origin if his father was Barrack Hussein Obama of Kenya. Obama's father from Kenya was a Polygamist . Obama's father never divorced his Kenyan wife ----his theoretical marriage to Stanley Ann was illegal.
Obama himself is supporting this military mandate contrary to the beliefs of the majority of Americans----and especially the religious beliefs of the citizens of America.
WHY IS OBAMA BOWING TO A MINORITY OF AMERICANS OF ABOUT 1% TO CHANGE THE TRADITIONS OF AMERICA? WHY IS HE SUPPORTING THIS DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICAN FAMILY THROUGH DEFINING AS HE WISHES AS THE TITUTLAR CIF OF THE MILITARY?
IMPEACHMENT TIME? Why are the Democrats in the House and Senate not calling for Obama's impeachment? Certainly they know that their seats they cherish will not last as long as they put up with Obama's running rough shod over America with his desperation to change everything about America.
" At issue is the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which for all federal purposes recognizes only a man and a woman as participants in a marriage. Homosexual activists have been trying for some time to get that definition repealed, even though two-thirds of all states also have the same definition in their own constitutions or laws.
Barack Obama joined their camp earlier this year by announcing that the administration, through the Justice Department, simply would not do its duty to defend an existing federal law, DOMA, when it is challenged in court. Republicans in the U.S. House were forced to obtain outside counsel for those disputes because of the decision on the part of the White House not to provide a defense.
It was reported just last week that the Department of Defense issued memos regarding same-sex "ceremonies" now that officials have abandoned the centuries-old standard that those acting openly on their homosexual lifestyle choices were disqualified from military service.
In its announcement, the Defense Department said not only would military chaplains be allowed to participate in such events, they also could be held at military chapels across the nation.
That drew an immediate negative reaction from Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the archbishop of the archdiocese for military services in the Catholic church. The Roman Catholic Church "does not perform the sacrament of matrimony for same-sex couples," said an announcement.
Therefore, no such events will happen at West Point's Catholic Chapel, which is a Catholic parish and is unlike the nondenominational chapels found on other military installations.
Crews' announcement said the evangelicals were joining the Catholics on this matter.
"I was stunned at the memorandum that came out last Friday," he told WND. "It appears to set the Department of Defense in opposition to Congress in that Congress has passed a definition of marriage that is now federal law."
"It appears they're allowing chaplains to be in a position of violating federal law, and that would be done by sanction of the Defense Department," he said.
"We're very concerned if this is just the first salvo from the Department of Defense after repeal of 'Don't ask, don't tell,'" he said.
The law of the land regarding marriage in the United States has been the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, signed into law by then-President Bill Clinton.
The federal law, defining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, has been under increasing attack since President Obama took office in January 2009. "
