Officer refusing homosexual training program reassigned
World Net Daily ^ | January 7, 2011 | Brian Fitzpatrick

Posted on 01/08/2011 8:45:45 AM PST by Purrsiancat

"From now on I'll be a staff officer without a bunch of people working under me, so I won't have the moral conflict with having to enforce this new policy on them.

"...the state is actually standing by my position."

The officer, who formerly commanded a battalion-sized unit, has strongly held religious beliefs that homosexual behavior is morally wrong, and he thinks the military will be damaged severely if it implements the Obama administration's plan to allow homosexuals to serve openly....many of the men under his command share his views.

"The only real argument the senators made for repealing DADT is that we're losing all these potential soldiers who could be filling all these critical roles in our military. Well, what are they talking about right now? They're talking about making large cuts in the military. Were they just pulling the wool over our eyes, just making the best argument they could while knowing this was coming all the time?"

"The more they step outside of their Constitutional limits, the more the nation is being polarized. These guys have contempt toward the Constitution."

"There are those who see this as purely an issue of discrimination, which they believe is unfair in any segment of our society. 'Discrimination' has become a word that always connotes something bad. I would say to them that discrimination is not only necessary, but crucial in our military. The military has always discriminated and if we are to remain the world's premier military, we must continue to do so. "True, there are certainly closeted homosexuals already in the military. There are also definitely closeted child/spouse abusers, pedophiles, adulterers, rapists, and I would guess even murderers in the military at this instant. Should we also change the UCMJ to make those activities legal?

This man is knowledgeable, articulate and passionate. It’s obvious he’s thought a lot about his decision.

He’s the kind of man we need to keep as leaders in our military, not relegate to the back room.

His words on discrimination are in keeping with Evan Sayett’s “Regurgitating the Apple, How Modern Liberals Think”. You can read/hear that over at the Heritage Foundation.

His questions are good, his reasons are good, his articulate polemic is great.

“I would say to them that discrimination is not only necessary, but crucial in our military. The military has always discriminated and if we are to remain the world’s premier military, we must continue to do so.”

Brilliant statement. Same thing goes for law enforcement.

His questions are good, his reasons are good, his articulate polemic is great.Reason and Logic (based on Natural Law Theory) is not allowed under the Marxist paradigm. Never has been.

That is why they twist words to become meaningless--or to mean the opposite. They use language to destroy a culture's traditions and morality because they destroy logical thinking.

These men should file a class action law suit or something because their basic freedom of religion and freedom of conscious is denied. Are there non- Marxist judges and lawyers left? Or are they all being vilified and threatened.

We have a government that has redefined a behavior that has been considered evil for thousands of years and by every valid religion, and they "think" they have a right to call evil "good" and that then all "good" people have to be reeducated into their godless atheism.

Cultural Marxism creates PC nonsense--such as no profiling the obvious, just the innocent. Teach young children how to do sex acts. Destroy the man/woman paradigm and make everyone so promiscuous that no relationships can last--children get raised by strangers to destroy their self-esteem and self worth. Individualism and integrity and loyalty get shoved out the door. The state becomes the fascist mommy, of course, because dysfunctional people need something to rely on and they have no families that can care about them because they are torn apart financially.

These communists in our government are destroying our last institution--the military. They worked for 40 years or more to destroy marriage starting with the laws--no fault divorce--to make the contract meaningless.

Notice how they destroy the Christian paradigm in the minds of your children by inserting partner instead of spouse in the testbooks. They got rid of the word wife and husband and men and women to insert "gender" so they could create this false homosexual paradigm which is godless which teaches that God created an homosexual, rather than it is a learned behavior of emotionally/physically damaged children while they are forming their sexual identity. By encouraging homosexual behavior, you are encouraging child abuse. With Marxist logic, God also created baby rapers, etc., and there is no sexual morality--none, because there is no Natural Law and body functions--THAT which OUR CONSTITUTION is based on....Hmmmmmm LOGIC!

It is absurd and beyond reason. Marxism is just that. They want "utopia" on earth--the proven godless Big Lie. Actually the elite just want total control over the stupid masses.

From the article:

...he thinks the military will be damaged severely if it allow(s) homosexuals to serve openly....many of the men under his command (a battalion-sized unit) share his views.

What did the military receive in return for exposing our warriors to the risk of this "severe damage"? Arguably, absolutely nothing.

Homosexuals are not precluded from serving in the military, of course, and allowing them to act queer in the ranks of real men was nothing but a gift from bomb-throwing radical politicians bent on destabilizing our nation.

Forcing the military to accept "open" homosexuals is unconstitutional. The entire homo-agenda is unconstituitonal. The freaking "president" is violating the Constitution every hour he remains falsely in his position. We are in a Constitutional crisis.

A quote from Dietrich Bonhoeffer who was executed by the Nazis for opposing them:

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Thanks, FrogMom. That’s pretty much how I see it. I’m just worried that if he’s “outed,” to the wrong people, that he’ll have to pay for his beliefs. As he said, he is in line with the Constitution and the Constitution should hold more weight than some nonsensical ruling.

I agree about his brilliant statement. Perusing the original article, we can see he made a lot of brilliant statements. The video I suggested by the “What’s next” guy raises some good points....like who cares about who’s sleeping with who? Don’t bother to tell and I won’t ask.//Also, I like your sentence about radicals seeking chaos because that’s what they do—destroy working (not perfect) rules and create real chaos.
