Political Consequences: Gays in the Military

How did voters react when President Clinton tried to keep his campaign promise to lift the ban on gays in the military? A 1994 survey indicated the second most important factor that shifted control of Congress to the Republicans in the 1994 mid-term election was President Clinton's 1993 push for gays in the military.

Media Pushing Anti-Military Myths

On Sunday, January 13, the New York Times ran a lengthy story suggesting that military veterans are more likely to commit murders when they return to civilian life. Ralph Peters, in a column titled "Smearing Soldiers," and a New York Post editorial titled "The Killer Vet Lie" refuted the New York Times' gratuitous slam on the military. The Defense Department needs to do a better job in answering anti-military stereotypes.

Part Two: Series Scores Candidates on CMR Issues

Democrats Favor San Francisco Military

In the second of two articles published in the Washington Times editorial section today, headlined "Gays and the Military" and sub-titled "Democrats Prefer San Francisco-Style," I have summarized the positions of Democrats on issues of concern to CMR. None of the Democrats responded to our non-partisan 2008 Presidential Candidate Survey, but their previous positions and choice of advisors indicate that all would be likely to create a "San Francisco Military." CMR offered an opportunity to all of the Democrats to distance themselves from the social/military agendas of NOW, the ACLU, and homosexualist groups that want to impose their extreme ideology on the armed forces. We are still waiting for one of these candidates to do so. CMR does not endorse candidates, but we are pleased to provide information important to voters looking for the next Commander in Chief.

Two-Part Series Scores Candidates on CMR Issues

Voters Should Ask, Republicans Should Tell

As the earliest contests of the 2008 presidential race approach, many voters in Iowa and New Hampshire remain on the fence. Indecision might continue for weeks, but any Republican stating a clear, unequivocal position on military/social issues of concern to the Center for Military Readiness would stand apart from the others. Any Democrat disavowing extreme social engineering in the military might draw support from pro-defense Americans. CMR does not endorse candidates, but my article in today's Washington Times, titled "Gays and the Military," highlights our non-partisan 2008 Presidential Candidate Survey. CMR is pleased to provide information important to voters looking for the next Commander in Chief.
