Lonsberry says it best: "If so many politicians feel compelled to loudly and publicly denounce the general – and claim that homosexuality is moral – why aren't there any politicians who feel compelled to loudly and publicly support the general?"

This whole thing is so funny . . .

Drinking to excess is immoral, too. So is divorce. And casual sex out of wedlock. Or visiting prostitutes. Or even masturbation, according to some.

These are *soldiers* we're talking about. Do you know what your typical soldier does for R&R when they have a weekend pass?

Let's just say it's not often moral, wholesome family entertainment!

This is just like the man on Maryland's Metro board whome supposedly conservative Ehrlich fired because he, a Catholic, stated in an off-the-record interview, that he believed homosexuality was immoral.

Basically, people want to silence that kind of talk, because it prickles the homosexual conscience. I think most homosexuals understand there's something unnatural and dangerous about their yearnings; but if you surround yourself with like thinkers and try to silence those with opposing views, your conscience is kept at bay (for a while, at least). But it usually comes down to a tormented soul in the end. It's tragic.

But it's like this . . . none of the soldiers and sailors who are drinking, whoring, and what not on a weekend pass are claiming that what they do is moral and indeed praiseworthy, or that nobody should criticize them for doing it. They know what they're doing is wrong.

The homosexual activists know that what they do is wrong, too. That's why they are trying to get society to approve of it and make any criticism of it impossible . . . to assuage their guilty consciences.

I think Pace is right personally, and secondly, I believe the military is not the place for social experiments.

Serving in the military is not a right, you have to meet the requirements THEY set, and when you ask people to risk their lives to defend us, they ought to be able to decide who they want in their ranks.

And none of what you've mentioned is condoned in our military, and some of what you've mentioned will get you brought up on charges.

Pace is right.

Homosexuality is against the morals of the huge majority of Americans, therefore, it is a fair statement of American belief.

That isn't the issue, though. God hates homosexuality: Because it is unnatural; because it is destructive; because it is disease-laden; because it kills the unfortunates who are encouraged in the practice of it by those who hate them.

It's people like the general who care.

He's right. It is immoral.

Bingo. We both zeroed in on the same motivation for this behavior.

You're right, in the long run it won't work. But the activists will do a lot of damage in the meantime.

The secretary of defense – the appointee and representative of an evangelical Christian president – chastised him on the Pentagon's own TV show, saying, “Personal opinion really doesn't have a place here.”
John Warner was secretary of the Navy once, and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee – in the Bible belt – and is the picture of a Republican senator.
“I respectfully but strongly disagree with the chairman's view that homosexuality is immoral,”


This totally ticks me off

I keep wondering how long it will take for America to get a bellyfull of queers . Queers in the military Fruits in the schools teaching our kids. Fruits adopting babies and and politicians marching with pedophiles. Its downright friggin sick and its time someone told them so.

They are a voting bloc and voting bloc's get attention.

America's straights need to turn into a boting bloc to.

That doesn't mean it's right! I did lots of stuff in the Navy that is immoral and that I now ashamed of doing. But just because I did it - as has and will countless others - does not make it riht.

Did anyone hear O'Reilly on this one? I only caught a viewer email to which BOR seemed to say Pace was wrong. I have a reason for asking. BOR muttered something about "kool aid right wingers" last night. I emailed him and asked if he'd like to share names on that list of his.

This General opposes and battles those that would behead homosexuals. Should they really be giving a damn what his opinions are in time of war?

I already know the answer to that though sadly.

"...America's straights need to turn into a boting bloc to...."

Amen to that. BTW, I never use the bastardized word "gay" when discussing these weirdos. They are either queers or homos. Nothing more, nothing less. I don't sugarcoat these immoral currs anymore.

With all due respect, you need to be a fly on the wall sometime when young men get together to discuss their weekend exploits. They tend to think that what they're doing is, as Tony the Tiger puts it, GRRREAAAT!
