Here‘s a line of questioning you don’t hear everyday, let alone it being asked of a White House Press Secretary in reference to the Commander in Chief.

During what otherwise would have been a typical White House press briefing Monday, Jay Carney fielded a real curve ball from World Net Daily reporter Lester Kinsolving, a man known for asking outlandish questions. The topic? Whether President Obama approves of bestiality in the military.

Kinsolving was referring to a recent Senate vote repealing sodomy and bestiality bans in the military.

The odd, if not uproarious exchange went something like this:

KINSOLVING: The Family Research Council and CNS News both reported a 93-to-7 U.S. Senate vote to approve a defense authorization bill that, quote, “includes a provision which not only repeals the military law on sodomy, but also repeals the military ban on sex with animals, or bestiality.” Does the commander-in-chief approve or disapprove of bestiality in our armed forces?

CARNEY: I don’t have any comment on–I don’t have any comment on that. Let me go to another question.

KINSOLVING: Does the President believe this will be approved by all animal support groups, such as –

CARNEY: Let’s get to something more serious.

We are falling into the "negative rights" trap that Ubama uses to justify ignoring the Constitution.

Just because there is not a law against something does not mean it is acceptable behavior. And we don't need a law against every aberrant behavior imaginable.

The Ten Commandments pretty much encapsulate acceptable human behavior. Anybody who chooses to ignore them certainly won't be deterred by passing a law.

PETA does not oppose beastiality.

weird huh?

I think the new perverted NYC sex ed curriculum for 11 year olds includes beastiality in a list of alternative lifestyles, in between studying the different types of condoms and mapping routes to abortion clinics.

[GeronL]

They are specifically making it legal.

Looks like Carney was somewhat fearful letting Lester and others know this was a very familiar discussion, and yes, he loves the practice himself.

The whole White House crowd are a bunch of perverts.

Everybody thinks Michelle has large thighs. Actually she has guinea pigs in there!

“Does the commander-in-chief approve or disapprove of bestiality in our armed forces?”

Did Carney really need to dance around that fact based question?
The answer is “strongly disapproves” and cannot understand why the Senate did it.
And as i type this,,,it occurs to me, what religion is famous for saying sex with a sheep or goat is not a crime, except that you may not eat the sheep you screwed? Did the Senate actually REPEAL a bestiality ban to appease American Muslims??

[sickoflibs]

Same-sex bestiality laws may be protected by sexual orientation protection (discrimination) laws, that is sex with an animal of the same sex. Not sure about the opposite sex animals and humans.

And we don't need a law against every aberrant behavior imaginable.

Aberrant? Are you a beastaphobe? /s

[C. Edmund Wright]

If dudes are gonna do animals, they’re gonna do animals regardless of the law. So lets make it safe and legal. /sarc VERY sarc.

But seriously, is this a big problem in the military. I mean, does it even need to be addressed?

[ConjunctionJunction]

Oddly enough, PETA actually sent Carney a letter complaining that he took the bestiality question ‘lightly’:

I didn't read the article because I couldn't imagine that being the case.

They wrote a law specifically making an aberrant behavior legal...

It's a good thing I don't have an army at my command.

Bestiality ban repealed;

In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way.

Does Obama ‘Approve or Disapprove of Bestiality in Our Armed Forces?’

Obama has to bed down nightly with The First Linebacker so he won't see anything wrong with it.

[TwoSwords]

carney usually has a response to everything. I guess this wasn’t a serious question, just a serious aberration of moral law. Any pub in the running needs to make a commercial including this as part of their spot. Hard to believe we need to include bestiality laws in American elections. We’re so done.

[Doctor 2Brains]

Beat me to it. I’d MUCH rather hump a porcupine than that thing.

If I recall the MCMJ, sodomy is basically anything other than good old fashioned mom and dad intercourse - it probably comes as no surprise that definitions could use a bit of updating, and I would image that's what prompted this idiocy. That said, the White House press corp needs one less member - pull this bullshit outfit's credentials.

[stormer]

That’s UCMJ...

[WKUHilltopper]

Sure—just laugh it off as being ‘nut job’. Who are the nuts? Who are the perverts? I didn’t vote for it. But enjoy your chuckle...

But I’m guessing you’re right, Sean. You have to pass it before you know what’s in it. McConnell is gonna get an ear full from me! I knew voting for Rand Paul for Senator was the right thing to do.

For the first time in my life I, even as her humble servant throughout many parts of my short stint here, have never been more ashamed of my country.
