A colonel posted this story to an email list serve of strategists and made the point that MISO should start studying how the feminists and LGBT groups have turned arguably the most conservative institution in America- DoD- into one of the most liberal in only 4 years.
I think he has a point. I remember reading something awhile back about a concerted effort on the part of gays to sway American public opinion on gays to the extent that it would result in several short-term objectives on the way to the final objective of transforming how Americans view sex, marriage, and "identity" into one more fluid and relative.
The short-term objectives were marriage rights, US government approval of same-sex couple benefits, gender identity as a protected class, overturn of DADT, transsexual rights (to include free healthcare involving gender change), and inclusion in hate crime legislation- among others. Some of those objectives have been reached already, obviously- others, like same-sex couple benefits and transsexual rights within DoD are still being worked.
The more interesting thing for MISO to study, in my opinion- is the "how". I think one can gather the lines of effort for all this were multiple:
1) Build a perception of gays as normal by incorporating them into as many TV shows as possible and showing them as normal versus the gay pride march stereotypes (avoiding most Public Displays of Affection & flamboyant types)
2) Work hard at giving LGBT platform issues a stage- like on talk shows- especially if the host is LGBT or LGBT-friendly.
3) Tie the anti-"bully" effort to LGBT efforts- portray LGBTs as victims of terrible treatment and brutal crimes. Try to add LGBTs to hate crime legislation as a protected class.
4) File lawsuits to get LGBTs inserted into as many organizations and programs as possible- infiltrate and change organizations from the inside (DoD, US government, Boy Scouts, religions, etc.)
5) Executive Branch forcing DoD to change and become LGBT-friendly. Once official policy changes- the interest groups knew that DoD would actually support LGBT goals/culture because of the nature of DoD.
The colonel's email went on to say that the feminists were also close to their own version of many of the same goals- and, interestingly, that the email was making its rounds through Army chaplain circles...
They took over the STARC in Colo.
Good post. We were actually talking about that today as we all feel that we are having it crammed down our throats in order to view it as a "norm" eventually.
I am sick of the Government catering to individual groups.
Why can't we just have "American appreciation month" every month.

So Richard - is the Pentagon also celebrating Potty Training Awareness Month?
Is the Pentagon celebrating any of the others - well maybe Flag Month - with anything special?

No (that I'm aware of) - Yes (check the DOD web-site).

It's a long month of awarenesses - Apparently in the White House too (http://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/proclamations), sir, but yours is much more comprehensive.
(I don't think there is a Dairy Alternative :eek: Month up here, but they handle accordions pretty well.)

...whole post
Reading your post reminded me of something I've often pondered. When we speak of 'they' as in - those who would seek to propagate homosexuality as normal into society, 'their' influences are seen at many levels and over a long period of time.
Which begs the question - At some point in the past, did a small group of very powerful, very homosexual people have a secret series of planning meetings that defined the plan for a successful attack on American values TO INCLUDE the inclusion of their numbers into normal society AND scoring them free healthcare and the elevated opportunities offered to minorities?
The lesbians that I know (and the homosexuals I have encountered) lack the depth of mental capacity to plan much farther than the next social event.
Who then is 'they'? Is there a homosexual version of George Sorros out there somewhere?

Google the Human Rights Campaign.
QP bailaviborita,
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I have heard of the Human Rights Campaign in passing, yet naively assumed it was some organization that campaigned for better living conditions in third world countries or something. I am deeply saddened to learn of its real purpose and see how successful it has been in only 30 some odd years.
It is interesting that they throw 'disabled' people at the bottom of their list of people for whose rights they campaign.
On a side note, I am reminded yet again of how much we have come to give things ambiguous or misleading names, much like the society described in the book 1984.
Human Rights - Advancing the LBGT cause... and disabled.
Justice Department - There's no justice there.
Pro Choice is a nice name for "allowed to choose to abort a child".
Awareness - shove it down their throats till they accept it.
We are circling the drain.

Hand,
When you have a moment, take a look at http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/19/obama-bundlers-private-foundations-fund-gay-rights-abortion-union-organizing-racial-justice-anti-coal-campaigns/ Specifically page two.

Thank you for that link. That was highly informative and somewhat disheartening. American society (as much as can be legislated) can be steered by money. This thread has been painfully enlightening.
They took prayer out of the schools. We grumbled, but did nothing. They took George Washington's portrait out of the classrooms. We grumbled, but did nothing. They started teaching collective socialist doctrine to our children. We grumbled, but did nothing.
They started awarding trophies to every player in school team sports, winners and losers. They replaced health classes with sex education, and taught it to grade school children. They promoted failing students in the name of self esteem. We grumbled, but did nothing.
They raided the Social Security fund. They turned once great universities into socialist indoctrination centers. They fed us a steady diet of sex, perversion, and violence in our music, movies, and television. They told us that sexual predators and murderers can be "rehabilitated." They told us that morality itself is "relative." They created a huge underclass totally dependent on government largesse.
They created a federal bureaucracy answerable to no one, with pay and retirement benefits triple those of the general populace. They created an imperial presidency and made the Congress inconsequential. They fostered the destruction of our manufacturing and agriculture bases. They permitted the invasion of our country by illegal aliens, and chastised anyone who objected. They legalized and promoted the systematic murder of millions of the innocent unborn. We grumbled, but did nothing.
"They" have achieved this transformation of American society in a relatively short period of time. When I was a boy, no one would have even believed it possible. We said the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer to Almighty God in school every morning. We were left back if we failed. We learned to congratulate the winners of the game when we lost. We respected our parents, our teachers, our elders, and the police.
We revered Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and all of those who gave us this great nation. We knew that actions had consequences, and that hard work would be rewarded. We could go to any movie playing in town, with our entire family, and not be assaulted with pornography and gratuitous violence. We were well acquainted with the concept of shame, and we knew the difference between right and wrong.
Were we perfect? Certainly not. But we weren't the morally, sexually, politically ambiguous creatures that now inhabit much of America.
Like with the proverbial frog in a pot of cool water, they turned the heat up slowly, changing the culture incrementally, until we arrived at our current condition -- a crumbling, corrupt society.
Who are "they"?
One might say "they" are the Marxist/communist/socialist/progressive world movement, but then, that would be politically incorrect, and dismissed by the educated, enlightened New-Age American. In true Alinsky fashion, they batter us with labels. Oppose illegal immigration? Xenophobe! Oppose the LGBT agenda? Homophobe! Oppose affirmative action? Racist! Oppose abortion? Misogynist!
Can we blame "them"?
No. They are just doing what comes naturally to someone who follows Marxist philosophy, just as they have done in Russia, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, England, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and all the other countries where this pernicious philosophical cancer has taken root.
Can "they" be stopped? Certainly.
How?
By answering the difficult question: who are we?
We are the apathetic, complacent ones who were too busy playing on Facebook, watching football, texting our friends, or following the decadent antics of some vacuous celebrity to stand in opposition to "them." In fact, we are as guilty as "they" are, but by omission, not commission.
We must gird ourselves, get involved, and resolve to halt, and reverse this onslaught. We owe it to our children. We owe it to those who fought and died to bequeath us this great nation.
Fight them. Fight them in the polling booth, the school board meeting, the city council meeting, the media, and everywhere else the opportunity presents itself. Inure yourself to criticism. Harden yourself against being ostracized. Wear the derogatory labels placed on you as badges of honor. Teach your children what being an "American" actually means. Take them to church or synagogue. Teach them to think critically. Give them a strong moral foundation. Be firm in your resolve.
The tail has wagged the dog for too long. It's time for the dog to have his day.
