Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick calls Christian soldiers "bigots."

The Washington Times is reporting that Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, the Army's deputy chief of staff in charge of personnel matters who spoke about "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" before several hundred troops at the European Command headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany, said: "Unfortunately, we have a minority of service members who are still racists and bigoted and you will never be able to get rid of all of them...But these people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can't, they need to get out. No matter how much training and education of those in opposition, you're always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds just like you still have racists today." Full article
here.
Ironically, General Bostick's commentary reveals that he is guilty of the very charge which he levels against Christians who oppose homosexuality. In Slouching Towards Gomorrah, Robert H. Bork writes, "Moral objection to homosexual practices is not the same thing as animus, unless all disapprovals based on morality are to be disallowed as mere animus. Modern liberalism tends to classify all moral distinctions it does not accept as hateful and invalid. Moral views about sexual practices are particularly suspect.." (p. 113).
As I said in
a previous post: "..the same radical homosexual activists who continually cry for more "tolerance" are anything but tolerant. This is a spiritual war. The homosexual movement is not a civil rights movement. It is an attempt at moral revolution. An attempt to change people's view of homosexuality.
Writing in the Chicago Free Press, even homosexual activist Paul Varnell admitted this. He wrote, "The fundamental controverted issue about homosexuality is not discrimination, hate crimes or domestic partnerships, but the morality of homosexuality. Even if gays obtain non-discrimination laws, hate crimes law and domestic partnership benefits, those can do little to counter the underlying moral condemnation which will continue to fester beneath the law and generate hostility, fuel hate crimes, support conversion therapies, encourage gay youth suicide and inhibit the full social acceptance that is our goal. On the other hand, if we convince people that homosexuality is fully moral, then all their inclination to discriminate, engage in gay-bashing or oppose gay marriage disappears. Gay youths and adults could readily accept themselves. So the gay movement, whether we acknowledge it or not, is not a civil rights movement, not even a sexual liberation movement, but a moral revolution aimed at changing people's view of homosexuality." (Paul Varnell, "Defending Our Morality," Chicago Free Press, Aug 16, 2000, See
here).

Yet another douchebag so-called "General" who has not seen one second of combat in his entire career. Germany, Ft. Hood, and Baghdad (as an engineering and personnel adviser), Bostick has far less field experience than does the Alaska GOP nominee Joe Miller. Yet he is in a position to make decisions that will affect every solider in every branch of the Armed Forces.
We are doomed when a bunch of armchair warriors run our military.

Sadly, we have too few leaders anywhere in government. The word “leaders” implies “followers”. And “followers” implies those who *voluntarily* go along. Well, our “leaders” aren’t going anywhere we want to go. Therefore they are “rulers” and “draggers” who are *dragging* us against our will into a hideous societal makeover,

Well, they also stuck Amnesty and massive defense cuts into the appropiations bill. They may also stick a bailout into it for municipalities.

He won’t be counseled or retired for his anti-christian bigotry; he will be promoted.

In other words devout Catholics, Moslems, Jews, Baptists, Orthodox, etc. leave now or leave your faith at the door. Unless you’re willing to condone the behavior you don’t belong in our military. It would be interesting to look at the background of this guy.

[you're always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds ]
You don't have to be a religionist to recognize that abominating nature is sociobiologicaly self-destructive.
What about those of us who oppose it because we recognize the implementation of
transhumanist/postgenderist doctrine when we see it? What about those of us who recognize the negative impact of homosexual behavior upon sociobiological fitness?
HUMANS reproduce HETEROsexually - and there is absolutely NO evidence that "normalizing" the abomination of nature is beneficial to the sociobiological fitness of societies that do so.
Quite the opposite, in fact - Every society that has normalized homosexual behavior has destroyed itself. EVERY Society.

My views have changed too.
And some were Eunuchs from birth - There are congenital reproductive dysfunctions such as XXY and Androgen insensitivity syndrome - for which the afflicted should be treated with compassion.
However, treating those folks with compassion is one thing - fascilitating their exploitation by power-seeking activists whose sociopathy extends FAR beyond sexuality - is quite another.
Whether under Pharaohs, Caesars, Popes or Presidents; whether occultly or overtly - The Eunuchs have always coveted the power of those they were inbred to serve.

I feel for those who were born with both male and female sex organs. But that’s different than choosing to engage in a disease-spreading lifestyle. It’s funny;Homos are told that what their doing is OK,yet those who smoke or drink are greatly encouraged to stop. What is wrong with this picture?

Understand that this is THE reason to force “acceptance” of homos in the military -
to get the Christians and the conservatives OUT of the military,
in case it’s needed to “suppress an insurrection”, so to speak.

This day and age I wouldn’t argue for a moment that our military can and will be used to suppress political and ideological dissent. It is the way of tyrants. But I wonder how many members of our military identify themselves as Christians, be they practicing Christians or people who derive their values and beliefs from Christianity. What would our military be without them?

Yep.
It’s a sociopathic exploitation of reproductive dysfunction to effect political coercion.
And activism IS a choice.

But through the Pentagon, Bostick is denying he ever said anything like that: “The statements attributed to me are inaccurate. I simply did not make those statements. Moreover, as a member of the Department of Defense Comprehensive Review Working Group, I have been extremely careful not to express any views that might influence the integrity of the comprehensive review. I therefore have not expressed any opinions that might suppress the opinions of anyone participating in our discussions. I find the statements falsely attributed to me to be personally reprehensible.”
So is the Washington Times recanting? Nope. Brett Drecker, the paper’s editorial page editor, tells Politico Bostick “either forgot what he said, is confused, or is lying,” citing multiple sources for the quote.
