Huckabee Rips Obama’s Choice for Army Sec.: ‘Homosexuality Is Not a Job Qualification’
mediaite ^ | September 19th, 2015 | Josh Feldman

Mike Huckabee isn’t happy with President Obama‘s decision to appoint an openly gay man as the next Secretary of the Army.

Eric Fanning, the current acting Under Secretary of Army, was selected by Obama this week, which would make him the first openly gay man to lead any branch of the U.S. military.

And while The Washington Post notes his sexuality isn’t really a big deal to the Army or to even some Republicans in Congress, leave it to Huckabee to crank up the outrage-ometer with this statement today:

It’s clear President Obama is more interested in appeasing America’s homosexuals than honoring America’s heroes. Veterans suicide is out-of-control and military readiness is dangerously low, yet Obama is so obsessed with pandering to liberal interest groups he’s nominated an openly gay civilian to run the Army. Homosexuality is not a job qualification. The U.S. military is designed to keep Americans safe and complete combat missions, not conduct social experiments.

Huckabee said something similar last month when asked about transgender soldiers, because obviously allowing non-straight people to serve their country openly with honor and dignity is a “social experiment.”

I don’t think heterosexual men think about the gay stuff 24/7

[I think that’s Oprah to the right, Michelle to the left - and isn’t it Sarkosy he’s kissing? If it’s real. Which I doubt.]

It may be Sarkozy. You do know he made a speech advocating that whites interbreed with blacks (although I’m pretty sure he was talking about male-to-female):

Everything...EVERYTHING Obambi is doing is for the purpose of making a "statement." Consider: homosexual and pro-abortion church folks invited to the White House when the Pope visits, 14-year-old Muslim "clockmaker" gets invitation to visit the White House after scaring the living snot out of educators and police, homosexual Army secretary. Statements, all.

The only thing he told the truth about in his campaign was that he'd fundamentally transform America.

Selection is not supposed to be based on sexual orientation. That’s how I understood it, anyway. This kind of crap is done all the time in Chicago.

So dam happy I served when homosexual behavior was grounds for EXCLUSION both under the Law— and by policy. I could NOT serve under the enemy foreign or Domestic named Obama —and could not serve under some flaming darling of his/hers/or its. Just being inclusive y’all.

Why does the President get to appoint the anyone to lead the military? He is only Commander is Chief during times of war, we’re not at war.

Who else should appoint the leadership of the military?

It’s a qualification if you’re planning to order the military to fire on U.S. Citizens in the next year.

This goes beyond just installing a cadre of loyal leftist commissars to continue the assault on WASP culture after token muslim is gone; he is also trying to fabricate a legacy somebody might remember besides the failed economic and foreign policies that have defined his presidency.

Somebody should tell him homosexual deviants can’t have children to whom they can pass along the wonderful myths of Obamunism...

I think David Cameron’s wife probably doesn’t like that picture either.
