I'm all for it!

The Southern Baptist Convention, the Roman Catholic Church, the Orthodox Church in America, the Presbyterian Church in America, and the Rabbinical Alliance of America have written a joint letter to the current administration, warning them that a repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell could lead each of these groups to withdraw endorsement of its chaplains. The most bizarre idea in the letter? The keeping of Don't Ask, Don't Tell is necessary for religious freedom.
I'm all for it. That'll leave Lutherans, Methodists, and other less crazy religious sects to take up the slack. Maybe it'll be a good career move for God-minded men and women. The fewer ministers preaching Oath Keeping™, the better.
