I’m not pro-homo, I’m also not a bigot.

What people do in private is none of my business or yours. And yes, I’m married and have a child. Watch where you step.

I clearly stated that DADT isn’t unconstitutional, it is the actual discriminatory law of the military that does not allow gays to serve that is unconstitutional.

There's not a damn thing about banning sodomites from the military that's unconstitutional. It's no different from banning people with certain medical or psychiatric conditions.

You are so bigoted you can’t see the forest for the trees.

Hey troll, YOU are the bigot. YOU are the one who wants to create new laws for two percent of the population.

This is a conservative site and you clearly don't belong.

and no I am not for gay marriage but again, I don’t think the government should have the right to tell people who they can and cannot marry.

Really, governments have been involved in the marriage business for at least a thousand years.

It is NOT the job of the government to regulate morality.

Hey jackass, governments EXIST to regulate morality. What do you think laws against murder, rape, robbery and arson are? They make crimes out of immoral actions.

You and your leftist ilk just want to keep the immorality that you engage in legal.

Begone troll!!

__________________________________________

How naive can one be?

Governments have been legislating and regulating morality since time immemorial.

Our government has been doing so since 1776.

The repeal of DADT is a clear cut example of our government regulating morality.

You are way off base here, pal.

They aren't keeping it in their bedroom. When they push their dysfunction as normal in the schools and court, it BECOMES MY business.

You are a troll and you are clearly bigotted against Judeo-Christian principles that go back for six thousand years.

I am sure you can find many other websites to post your (bent-over) position.

I agree with you 100%. When that happens it’s an affront to everyone and completely unacceptable.

Google "Folsom Street Fair" and you will see that it has NOTHING to do with privacy.

So what? It's leftists like you who destroyed the GOP.

You called a FReeper a bigot for defending traditional values, that makes you a leftist troll and I don't give a damn how you vote.

Why not just let the military create their own policy on this issue?

Because the Constitution says that it is Congress, not the military, which is to "make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces." (U.S. Const., Art. I, sec. 8, cl. 14).

That “vile crap” is the future of our military if we allow these vile perverts to take over.

Many people still do not get it. We are not saying we hate gay people and wish them harm.

We are not for their gay agenda being forced upon us which is perverting our children and destroying family institutions.

There are gay people that don’t choose to make their sex life a public thing. They also are not for pushing the gay agenda.

The gay life is not normal and it is not mainstream. Accepting this agenda says you agree with it or you don’t care.

FRiend —

My dad fought on the front lines in WWII. There are lots of military in my family. I admire and respect our armed forces, and the whole DADT issue has irritated me from the beginning.

As you can tell from my previous posts, I come at this from a morality standpoint. I hate bad behavior, and homosexuality, according to scripture and most of society, is bad behavior.

However, that said, I am increasingly puzzled as to what benefit DADT is to homosexuals.

In the past, they’ve been able to serve by simply keeping their deviancy quiet.

Now they’ll be outed. Bullseye on their back. Before, were I a normal heterosexual soldier, I could undress and shower and be ogled by the queer in the next bunk. Now I know who he is and can take protective measures.

This whole discussion has, as I said in previous posts, just allowed the gay community to gain sympathy with their whines about equal rights.

I’m just tired of hearing about it. Let them serve openly. If they cross the line in behavior, let military standards of behavior lower the boom and fellow soldiers shun them.

Which is, frankly, how we got in this mess in the first place. As I said, our society nowadays will put up with anything, and this whole issue is a reflection of that.

We can squawk all day about DADT, but it’s just a symptom of much bigger problems. We have lost our moral compass, and decadent behavior has infested our most cherished institutions.

Perhaps the good people of the Tea Party can begin to change attitudes.

If you haven’t seen this, here’s Allen West on DADT. A brilliant answer to a gotcha question:

But clearly Congress has the right to allow the military to make up their own policies and not have to be micromanaged by Congress, correct? Why not just put this in that category?

I’m a leftist? I’m far to the right of Attila the Hun you moron!

You have absolutely NO idea what the hell you’re talking about and who you’re saying it to.
