Obama ‘Very Dangerous,’ Causing ‘Severe Damage’

One of the leaders of the nation’s influential Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) tells Newsmax that President Obama is “very dangerous” in his economic policies and his foreign policy is causing “severe damage” to U.S. standing in the world.

He pointed out that Southern Baptist make up a “disproportionate” membership in the Armed Forces and that the SBC strongly opposes any changes to military policies relating to gays in the military. He suggested that changes Obama has stated he will make would undermine military readiness because it could cause many evangelicals serving in the military to leave. SOURCE

Obama better think long and hard about this, if it happens then the draft will have to be restarted. There will be many that will get out of service and many more that will not enlist in the first place.
