Now that you mention it John, yes, I do see a pattern.
Hmmmmmm. Interesting. Let me try that:
A)Birds have feet.
B) Pigs have feet.
C) Pigs can fly.
Awesome! I have a whole new way to look at the world!
Well, putting Iran on the list is somewhat misleading. As Achmajined has told us, Iran has no people who engage in homosexual acts.
Taking “Policy” advice from a libertarian is like taking economic advice from the government; you know down deep the only reason they’re weighting in is self-interest...
The illusion that the homosexual lifestyle is a normal way of living has been successfully propagated by promoting a “victim” image for homosexual persons, and by the pseudo-science alleging a ‘gay” gene.
Of the reports alleging, or promising soon down the road, a “gay” gene, not a single one has survived scientific peer review. There is no “gay” gene.
On the other hand, the evidence does show that homosexual persons are indeed victims — but overwhelmingly of their own behavior, not that of others.
Typical homosexual behavior includes regular contact with fecal matter from oneself and from sexual partners, tragically reversing several centuries of learning about cleanliness, and thus several centuries of growing lifespan. Homosexual behavior makes no more sense than playing in the toilet.
All available evidence indicates that the lifespan of practicing homosexual persons is drastically shortened by their behavior. No reliable study indicates otherwise. The lifespan topic is taboo among homosexual advocates because the evidence is so damaging to their case.
I can't help but believe that changing the meaning of marriage breaks down our society. When I was growing up, most people were of the same mind when it came to good versus bad or right versus wrong. Now there are no clear lines. Parents must have a hard time teaching morals to their children when there are so many contrary messages. Even some of the churches are falling to hedonism.
If anyone has a sense of history, I think that they can predict to where it will all lead!

The LGBT Law for the Military:
How Does This Improve Military Readiness?

“Don’t Ask, Don’t Bleed”:
By J. Matt Barber
The U.S. military has always discriminated. There are a host of malignant behaviors such as illicit drug use or habitual criminality that can render a person ineligible to serve. As my father-in-law learned, there are also benign maladies such as vision impairment or flat feet that can bar an otherwise eligible applicant. Any number of behaviors or conditions with varying degrees of severity can dash one’s hope of donning the uniform.
This is discrimination only insofar as “discriminating minds” with expertise in these matters have found that such restrictions are necessary to maintain excellence in our historically unparalleled fighting force.
In formal recognition of the long-established finding that “homosexuality is incompatible with military service,” federal law – Section 654, Title 10 – objectively prescribes the following:
•The primary purpose of the armed forces is to prepare for and to prevail in combat should the need arise;
•Success in combat requires military units that are characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion;
•The prohibition against homosexual conduct is a long-standing element of military law that continues to be necessary in the unique circumstances of military service;
•The presence in the armed forces of persons who demonstrate a propensity or intent to engage in homosexual acts would create an unacceptable risk to the high standards of morale, good order and discipline, and unit cohesion that are the essence of military capability; and
•There is no constitutional right to serve in the armed forces.
Indeed, federal courts have ruled over and again that a prohibition against homosexual conduct within the ranks of the military is both constitutional and justified.
So now that Barack Obama is president, what has changed? Is there something about “out and proud” homosexuality, hitherto absent or unseen, that suddenly makes it compatible with military service? Is there something about our military that has, for the first time in history, made it compatible with this particular lifestyle?
The answer to both is no.

Yeah, I see a pattern. That list is a "Who's Who" of socialist mediocrity, appreasement, and decadence.
No thanks.
John blew it here (no pun). Every time somebody wants America to be like some other country or countries, I shudder.
That's always a liberal Democrat thing.
Disappointing.
Last I heard, homosexuals are 3 times more likely to rape their fellow servicemen than the non-homosexual population.
And of the countries he uses as examples, only Israel has an active military. I don't believe the author has made his case.
Libertarians are the left’s fifth column in the conservative movement.
Proof there is no difference between liberals and liberaltarians on multiple issues and good reason why the libertarian cancer needs to be cut out of the conservative movement.
Really? I see this as a potential 24% leaving if the policy were overturned. I suspect many of these are our strongest military people too.
Stossel is seeing things in a lop-sided way.
Stossel, you're an ass.
What a weak, error-laced, pathetic article. Where to begin....
In case I don’t get to ping this, out the door in a short while.
Perfect example of why Liberaltarians are morally blind and therefore cannot see reality as it is.
The list of nations is very astounding in one other factor:
Most all of the gay accepting nations are in a free fall of moral decline, government over spending and unsustainable population decline. They were all once upon a time, among the most moral and highest birth rates. In 50 years, none of those countries will exist in any form resembling those which have existed for the last millennium.
The other list, is mostly Islamic and this is the fastest growing population and religion. In 50 years it will be the dominate political, economic and religious force on the planet.
Coincidence?
Sadly, No.
Homosexuality does not cause societal collapse, but it is rather, the very last warning sign that the bridge ahead is out.
Proceed at one’s own peril.
