Duncan Hunter’s statement today on this atrocity:
The United States Military has performed superbly in Iraq and Afghanistan, demonstrating unprecedented courage and ingenuity in the war against islamic terrorists. A major characteristic of America’s military is the bedrock of Judeo-Christian beliefs and heritage, which maintains unit cohesiveness, which in turn translates into combat effectiveness.
Now, liberal extremists, backed by a single activist judge, a Clinton appointee, are trying to inject homosexuals into the ranks of America’s fighting forces. This is something that our troops strongly object to.
This is the same homosexual lobby which is attempting, through a judicial fiat, to undo what 31 States (out of 31 States!) have rejected, when they voted to disallow homosexual marriage.
The US Military, and the Secretary of Defense in particular, should be moving quickly to prevent an action which can only result in the debilitation of America’s fighting forces. Political correctness and liberal social activism must be blocked, particularly as it applies to our Nation’s military readiness and cohesion.
Every Republican in office that cares about the quality and capability of America’s military, should be taking action today to stop this disaster, this dangerous action which has emanated from a single activist District Judge.
U.S. District Judge Virginia Phillips -- Clinton Appointee
Duncan nails it!
