NY Times editorial: An Openly Gay Man Runs the Army
NY Times ^ | May 22 2016 | NY Times

Posted on 05/21/2016 10:21:50 PM PDT by WilliamIII

Last week an openly gay man, Eric Fanning, became secretary of the Army. Read that sentence again and contemplate what it reveals about how much and how quickly American society has changed. Only five years ago, openly gay people were barred from serving in its armed forces. During Mr. Fanning’s lengthy confirmation process, his sexual orientation was simply not an issue. That is a tribute to those who fought so hard to repeal the ban, and a measure of the nation’s at times uncertain, but as yet unfailing, march toward equality.

Not because any of us asked for it, or even voted for it

Yes I agree..a Gay man is in command of the Army. I knew that the minute I saw him throw a basball.

“his sexual orientation was simply not an issue.”

Oh, I have my doubts about that.

Not an issue? Ridiculous. It’s why he got the position. Qualifications don’t matter. Only PC does.

This is going to get a lot of our military members killed if we ever get into a real war. And we will.

Obama glorifies queers. Not only that, this man certainly wasn’t the best qualified.

Obama’s military appointments have been on the basis of the homo agenda or liberal agenda. They’re certainly not the most qualified.

” Read that sentence again and contemplate what it reveals about how much and how quickly American society has changed.”

American society hasn’t changed...it just made a monumental mistake in choosing a community agitator as its leader. Hopefully it will correct that mistake come november. If it doesn’t than I might agree with that statement.

You mean the Commander In Chief is a QUEER.

Eric Farmer should be working in a flower shop, not sitting as Secretary of the Army. Shameful, sad, and pathetic.

I agree.

Worldview/ethics ALWAYS matter and they are purging the military men with a Christian Worldview (moral, mature masculine males) for sick, pathological “men” like the Nazi Brownshirts (homosexuals, as were the Bolsheviks). Immoral, evil, vile people can easily do the most vile thing to little children and women and all they desire is power to dominate other males-—esp. the young virile ones. (It is the muslim ethic-—the homosexual culture loves the boys but also the new recruits—they hate women and mutilate them and abuse all children).

As Machiavelli stated, the most important thing for power is to promote Virtue in the military. obama is doing the opposite—and purging the good.
He is creating a cartel system—the government/military, etc. are running drugs/guns, child sex rings, and killing and destroying nations to create chaos and destroy America and Europe (Christianity has to be erased from the minds of the masses for complete slavery/ideas of Free Will/Individual Natural Rights.)

Evil people were NEVER supposed to be able to hold any power-—even a whiff of “evil” behavior like the pagan, satanic practice of sodomy (it is lust and evil, never “love”). The behavior is to demean/use others in vile, degrading, evil irrational ways destroying human dignity and mocking God’s Design (hate of self).

Sodomy should still be a felony-—in a rational world it would be, but now we have brainwashed generations who “believe” in Satanism where sodomy is a Virtue and Up is Down and Boys are Girls. Pederasty and child killing/sacrifice/blood drinking is a big part of the satanic practices, along with the he/she goat god orgies with the boys. (Bohemian Grove/Franklin Cover-Up).

Without Virtue, there is no Freedom and no civil society. (Socrates). Virtue matters-—and is why America used to be “great” before Wilson’s policies created a Socialist slave (vice-promoting) State. Just Law only promotes public virtue-—but we no longer have a “justice” system-—it is a Vice System and we now have Rule of man/oligarchy. No Rule of Law (Higher Laws/God’s Law ).

The core of America hasn’t changed that much.

It’s the scum on the top that is forcing unwanted changes on the nation.

And the worthless greed-heads in congress and the senate who are either complicit or too weak kneed to fight the corruption.

this is an absolute travesty. Every uniform Soldier should publicly state that they refuse to see this man has their service head. there after every uniform Soldier should ignore any orders directives that come from this man or his office. Just completely ignore him, and know that as soon as president Trump is in office people like this will no longer be placed in im proper positions of power
