What is Constitutional about forcing the gay agenda on troops? What is Constitutional about soldiers having to sit down for lessons about embrace of the gay culture in their midsts? Forcing straight troops to shower with gays? You like that too?

DADT was a far more Constitutional approach than it’s repeal.

If you want to hide behind the Constitution for this, then I guess you are also for gay marriage too.

Read my post Sherlock.

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 are parts of the DADT law that tread very closely to unconstitutional. It isn’t the spirit of DADT that is the problem. Any employer has a right to set the rules of engagement within an organization as long as they are not discriminating.

Employers have a DADT law regarding marriage, kids, religion, and political views being asked in the interview room.

Allow gays to serve in the military and place a blanket DADT rule (issued by the military and not government) on EVERYONE equally. Sexuality has no place in the work field anyway.

You are so bigoted you can’t see the forest for the trees. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that this law was headed for a discrimination lawsuit since is was applied to only one segment of the military population. Apply it is everyone and the issue is irrelevant.

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. They can set an age limit since it is a legal contract but other than that, no it isn’t their business.

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

no you can’t have it both ways.

Homosexuals have no place in the military.

This has been proven time and time again.

Most recently with the whole wikileaks fiasco.

“Palin’s supporters don’t know where she stands on this issue.”

Not so. As of February of 2010, she was opposed to repeal of DADT.

Marriage is a ceremony between a man and a woman.

That is what a marriage is. If gays want a civil union, fine.

I read your posts, scooter. I was not impressed. I am still not impressed with you fluff.

Yes because you said 2010! Yes because you are being deceptive since all VP candidates must accept the platform of the Presidential candidate like Cheney and Bush Sr had to do to their respectful leaders even thought they disagree with policy.....btw i have never heard of someone who is a proponent of drilling on a massive stage across this country wanting cap n trade imposed on the very drilling companies! You ate a liar because you are deceptive

Need I remind you that Free Republic is not the place to troll your pro-homo agenda?

But I will give you credit for knowing something no one else does.

“Palin supports the repeal ...”

It simply amazes me that you can deduce this from some liberal bloggers spiniing a Twitter.

what you do on your own property and inside your own home is your business.

They don't keep it in the privacy of their own home. They have parades that are disgusting, they lobby for special rights, it's being taught in schools and they have set up political machines. How is ANY of that private?!

Of course not.

I’m just saying that allowing this to become such a huge part of our conversation isn’t doing anything except promoting the homosexual agenda and allowing them to portray themselves as “normal.” We’re giving them a platform they don’t deserve.

We need to morph the conversation into one demanding integrity and wholesome behavior.

There’s a difference between “don’t-ask-don’t-tell” and “flaunt bad behavior.” There is a big difference between words and actions.

Free speech allows free words. But military laws already on the books regulate action. There have always been homosexuals in the military (and in the priesthood, for that matter.) We should expect mostly-male professions would be an attraction for such deviants.

However, until lately when we allowed the conversation to change and such deviancy to assume “normality”, they’ve had the good sense to shut up about it.

There have also always been military standards that regulate public displays of affection and unseemly fraternization. Soldiers have a stricter code of behavior than the rest of us do.

We can’t squelch free speech, but we can regulate public behavior. And we can also change the conversation to one demanding character and integrity and honorable behavior. Those are values that even the left, hypocritically, would have a hard time refuting.

It’s time for that pendulum to swing.

“unnatural carnal copulation” according to the UCMJ covers anal or oral sex, even, as you point out; with a member of the opposite sex.

So yes, getting a blow job or performing cunnilingus with an opposite sex partner is punishable under the UCMJ.

While in the USAF I engaged in the above activity as much as possible. Hope nobody will think less of my service because of it. ;)

Be warned that conservatives and FR DO have a problem with legitimizing an emotional and mental sexual dysfunction.

OK.

I meant to write 2008 ....

My bad.

So, on top of Palin shilling for cap and trade (SHE DID IT),

THEN, she went and campaigned for McBlame in the ARIZONA -— 2010 Senate CAMPAIGN.

I don’t trust her....

If you support the homosexual agenda you are anti-Constitution and you'll get the zot from FR!

I asked

"Jedidah, are you really calling for conservatives to shut up and ignore the onslaught of homo’s in the military?"


You said "Of course not."

 
And of course, I'm having trouble reconciling that with this:
 
The more the homosexual cause is debated in public, the more sobby stories about perceived “rights” and mistreatment, the more advances in their agenda. I say quit talking about it.
