Exactly. If a male and female cannot be billeted together because of sexual attraction, what are they going to do with the homos?
And as you said, this is the last middle finger of the Rats as they are thrown out on their asses.
It really irritates me that so many FReepers still believe in the fiscal conservatism/social liberalism nonsense. You see it on the Bolton for president thread. Bolton is great in some areas, but he’s also for gay marriage and open homosexuality in the military.
Fiscal conservatism and social conservatism are inextricably entwined. You cannot have one without the other. This DADT issue points out the weakness in the libertarian point of view. I suppose someone could come up with a way to disprove of sodomy in the ranks as being more costly, but taking the moral aspects out of this issue is like fighting with one arm tied behind your back. We conservatives need BOTH arms: fiscal and moral.
Anyone with lick of sense should be able to see where this is leading the country. I never thought I’d live to see it, but I really, seriously think many of us who hold to natural, God-given morality will learn how Lot felt. American Christians are simply not going to be able to avoid ostracism and abuse much longer.
The time is coming where I’ll be punished at work for even mentioning anything negative about homosexuality. A homosexual will be able to report me for creating a hostile and intimidating work environment. Congress wants to protect the free speech rights of gays, but who cares if I’m unable to express my faith freely without fear of losing my job.
