I agree that the military should stay out of it, but that doesn't excuse Gates supporting militant homosexualism.
ARE YOU ILLITERATE OR DO YOU ALWAYS JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS AND INSULT WOULD-BE ALLIES? Calm down troll.
First of all, I didn't insult you, I only asked if you were a retread (a theory which is growing stronger), there are a bunch of retreads pushing this agenda.
Secondly, what in the world makes you think you are an ally? You are praising Gates for wanting to sodomize the military.
Wagglebee, the above is what WAW wrote, and I do think that he might have meant:
1. Gates isn't the only one who should be involved in stopping gays in the military.
2. Congress needs to step in and smack down the judges.
I agree with #1 and #2. If that's what WAW meant, then I think your problems with him might just be the way the sentence came out.
WAW do you agree with 1 & 2 above?
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION AS THIS MAY BE THE LAST TIME I EVER INDULGE A MORON IN CONVERSATION. I WILL SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU.
I AM NOT PUSHING ANY AGENDA EXCEPT THE RULE OF LAW UNDER THE US CONSTITUTION.
THE MILITARY FALLS UNDER THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH. THEY CAN MAKE POLICY DECISIONS WITH REGARD TO THE MILITARY. IT IS THEIR PURVIEW.
THE CONSTITUTION STATES THAT CONGRESS SHALL MAKE THE LAWS REGARDING THE MILITARY. THAT IS THE CHECK; THE BALANCE.
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE JUDICIARY TO MAKE RULES TO OVERRIDE CONGRESS OR THE EXECUTIVE IN THIS. THE CONSTITUTION IS VIBRANTLY CLEAR.
GATES IS CLEARLY NOW PART OF THIS ADMINISTRATION. HE TAKES A POSITION AND HE CAN BE CALLED OUT FOR IT. ALL GOOD AND WELL. HE’S WRONG. THIS WHOLE ADMINISTRATION IS WRONG. BUT THE USURPATION OF THE CONSTITUTION UNDERMINES THE VERY FABRIC OF THE REPUBLIC WE LOVE. THAT’S THE ISSUE. GATES IS NOT THE ISSUE.
IS IT NO STARTLING COINCIDENCE TO YOU - OR ANYONE FOR THAT FACT - THAT THIS RULING CAME OUT OF A FEDERAL COURT BASED IN CALIFORNIA JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION.
THEY WANT TO DIVIDE US. THEY WANT TO SAY, LOOK AT THOSE PEOPLE, THEY ARE ALL BIGOTS. THEY WANT TO SQUELCH YOUR RIGHTS.
THE ONLY RIGHTS THAT MATTER ARE THE RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDUAL. THIS IDEA OF GROUP RIGHTS IS A DEVICE WHICH THE LEFT USES AS A WEDGE TO INSERT THEIR TYRANNY.
YOU WANT TO FALL INTO THAT TRAP? DO YOU THINK IT’S MORE IMPORTANT TO INSULT ME, OR TO DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION AND THE REPUBLIC IT IS DESIGNED TO UPHOLD?
