It should come as a shock to no one that three retired military officers, two generals and one admiral, revealed last week that they are gay. What should be surprising is that, despite these and other stellar records, the Pentagon adheres to a policy that prevents known homosexuals from staying in the service.

Interesting. I think FR gets quite a few activists from the dark side trying to bully others around. Before the Internet, their favorite game was to write newspapers and say "I'm a Republican but I hate all Republican issues and all Republican politicians...." How transparently phony is that? Sad part is, people buy it.
And we see how Mr. Gingrich's and Mr. Livingston's political careers have blossomed since...oh, that's right. Never mind.
an embezzler: I don't know if it qualifies as embezzlement, but Neil Bush sucked lots of money off his S&L...
If charges are filed, you let me know, OK?
a drug user: GW Bush, Gingrich
Unless you haven't read the news in a while, George W. Bush does not even drink alcohol. Oh, you mean to smear him with something he might have done several decades in the past? Pfffft! I got some news for you, people do reform themselves (even homosexuals leave the deathstyle). If you have some evidence that W. is using dope in the White House, please post it.
As to Mr. Gingrich, I wouldn't have him at my house for dinner.
You won't associate with these people? I think they're generally good people.
Nice try, but you have to ignore a big chunk of reality to come to that conclusion. Sort of like the folks who won't face the fact that homosexuals are incompatible with military service.
That's not morals. That's a crime with a direct victim. I do not believe consensual crimes are in line with the American ideal of freedom of the individual.
I believe you do if you have such intimate knowledge of gay sex practices. I may have associated with them, but at least I didn't have any interest in learning what they did among themselves. You do. Why?
You're really clutching at straws. Now I'm being compared to madmen terrorist Palestinians because I have read hundreds of articles and dozens of books about homosexual acts, health problems, causes, etc etc over the last 15 years or so. I guess to be "unbiased" about the homosexual agenda and its ramifications, one needs to be ill-informed and ignorant???
This is a straw man argument. You are claiming that for me and many others here to consider homosexual behavior unacceptable in the military (or as being unhealthy) is nothing but the same kind of prejudice that used to be legally enforced on black people in the US. This is a false, abhorrant argument that many black people and people of other ethnic or racial minorities find extremely offensive.
Homosexual acts are a chosen, voluntary set of behaviors, which can be learned, chosen, or renounced. Being a member of a particular race is immutable, unchosen, and values neutral. Go take your "prejudice" argument over to a black church and see what they say! See if conservative black people like being compared to men who like to have anal sex with each other.
Well, if they'd keep it their business people wouldn't know, and if they didn't know, they couldn't care.
You know as well as anyone on this thread that the "gay" activists have, for the last 25 or 30 years, been shoving their agenda and their perversions down everyone's throats - in the media, entertainment, schools, court decisions, laws, trying to force their way into the Boy Scouts, and so on.
It's my "damn" business if they make if my business!
The last straw clutching argument - people who stand up against the "gay" agenda are closet homosexuals! You are full of crap to bring this fantasy up.
BTW, usually good people to party with at clubs, and I later found that they tend to associate with the most gorgeous straight women.
Words fail me on this one.
Fight who?
Add new meaning to the term, "turn your head and cough".
Never met him.
No, not for the same reason. Kennedy was guilty of criminal negligence in that case. Bush was guilty of....what?
You are even a particularly good liberal disruptor, you know.
I think he got tired of the DUmmies laughing at him.
