They hired themselves a bigot, who does nothing all day but hate on the religiously adherent. What is the game?
Obviously, in a general way, the goal of all Leftists (Cultural Sadeists) is to destroy any coherent social structure outside the relationship of the isolated individual with the State. Religion and tradition generally are both enemies to be destroyed. As I have said, in my view the inner core of the gay marriage push is to denigrate and marginalize traditional family structures outright. Gay marriage has NO history anywhere in recorded history, anywhere on the planet, and now we are supposed to consider it a fundamental right. It is not.
Specifically, though, I think the Left has realized that for any coup to succeed you have to have the military on your side. There is no other way, and DHS cannot make up for this gap. Logically, then, why not wage a war on religion, and by extension on all social conservatives? By a process of gradual elimination, people more open to radical new political forms may take over the ranks.
I cannot say if this is an intelligent strategy, but it appears to be the one being pursued. It would seem to me that a large backlash is quite possible among those who choose to stay in, particularly if ably led by senior command officers, who if capable of war-fighting, one would hope would also have the balls to defend the basic rights of their troops, which would include free social interaction, and the freedom to speak of religion, which has provided countless soldiers over millenia with much needed comfort. Even the SERE books used to speak of the manifest and much tested value of a belief in God in surviving extreme situations.
Time will tell.
