Obama: Commander in chief must back gay troops
CBS News / The Associated Press ^ | October 1, 2011

Posted on 10/02/2011 1:56:23 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

President Barack Obama sharply rebuked his Republican rivals Saturday, saying anyone who wants to be commander in chief must support the entire U.S. military, including gay service members.

A combative Obama criticized Republican presidential candidates for staying silent when the crowd at a recent debate booed a gay soldier who asked a question of the contenders via videotape.

"You want to be commander in chief? You can start by standing up for the men and women who wear the uniform of the United States, even when it's not politically convenient," Obama said during remarks at the annual dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization.

Referencing the boos at the Sept. 22 Republican debate, he said: "We don't believe in standing silent when that happens."

Obama touted his administration's efforts to repeal the military's ban on openly gay service members, as well as his orders to the Justice Department to stop enforcing a law defining marriage as between one man and one woman...

“In the Australian army, openly homosexual soldiers have been serving since 1992. No great moral collapse has occured, nor has the effectiveness of the military declined.”

Your agenda is pro homosexual liberty. My agenda is an effective military that is violent and effective as an organization.

You have ignored my contention and personal experience that homosexuals can’t soldier effectively...they make bad emotional decisions and when they get into leadership positions their finicky emotionalism leads to first the breakdown of the unit and the eventual failure of the homosexual leader.

My concern is of military effectiveness.

Wow! I am saddened by the level of hatred on this thread. I wonder how many of you actually know a homosexual. I have been to teaparties, volunteered at GOP campaigns and prolife events. My conservative values are NOT in question. But this hatred is destructive. NOT ALL homosexuals are evil. Do I believe they are misguided..yes..do I believe G-d created us to achieve the greatest joy in life thru procreating with our heterosexual partner..yes. Do I approve of blantant, in your face sexuality (whether it be homo or hetero)..No..But at the risk of being a pollyanna..hate the sin..not the sinner.

The state has a duty to discriminate between legitimate and illegitimate behavior.

For every homosexual there is a spouse of the opposite sex deprived of their rightful spouse, a marriage reduced to sexual perversion, and a family degenerated from multiple generation.

God established the institution of marriage, not man.

He also tells us truly homosexuals, liars, murderers, extortioners, and adulterers will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Every argument advocating homosexual living is unsound and may be better understood by those ignorant of homosexuality by using the same arguments to condone murder.

e.g. ...We can also claim murderers are people with feelings too. They always have been around. Who are we to condemn murder? Murderers are great patriots when they serve in the military. We should be thanking murderers for their service to the country and not become preoccupied with their private affairs.

Such arguments attempt to ignore and avoid the perversion called homosexuality.

There isn’t one homosexual in the military service who isn’t also a habitual criminal, because only recently has a perverted POTUS promoted its legitimacy. Every servicemember who is a homosexual today has scarred their thinking by knowing very well how to live a criminal lifestyle and conceal it from legitimate peers. Part of their appeal to homosexuality involves the very same illegitimate corruption in their soul.

They are specifically the types of souls who ought not be trusted with public welfare. They have been criminal, never held accountable, and are now corrupt in their thinking even if their behavior is now legitimatize by an antichristian government. They have no honor, nor fidelity, nor trustworthiness and should be removed from any public office with extreme prejudice.

N00b, like most degeneracy, it takes a few years and a few stumbles to reveal the true corruption of a code. You can push the degenerate code to a fairtheewell but it will still be degeneracy. Are you proud of that? Didn’t like that code, not to your corrupt liking?

America must move forward to succeed. This is impossible for gays as they cannot procreate. They require the facilitation of straights to foster that illusion. If Obama didn´t see how open homosexuality would hasten the destruction of America that he seeks, he wouldn´t give it a second thought. The ¨humanity¨ he would call to it is a farce.

You are dreaming... I said no such thing. I was responding to a post where the poster was equating anal sex with pro-abortion. It didn't make sense to me (still doesn't) because there is a difference between anal sex and homosexuality.

BB appears to be a practicing homo, so honest exchanges are not to be assumed.

IIRC, the little thief of reems of sensitive government documents is a fag/fairie/homo/fudgepacker. He illustrates the flaw in homo minds ... they believe themselves to be the ultimate arbiter of right and wrong, justice and retribution. BB is illustrating this fact with its posts. Such degenerate minds do not have the mindset to actually believe in and honor 'the code' because they believe themselves above such conformity, albeit they will, for deceit's sake, conform in all ways except where they serve their most central motivator, their lust for sexual perversion.

“Could someone provide me a reason why homosexuals should not be allowed to serve in the military?”

Certainly:
http://www.uhuh.com/nwo/communism/comgoals.htm

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

That should be enough right there. Homosexuality is supported by the left- in support of their goals. Allowing them into the military is the height of insanity.

Only difference is found in your twisted agenda-driven mind, n00b. Degeneracy is as degenerate does. The anus is the exit point of the human sewer line. Only degenerates seek the sewer for their sexual gratification.

I really hope these defenders of Liberty for homosexuals will address why they believe that the “agenda and lifestyle” is more important than military effectiveness.

Gays don’t fit into the Uber Alpha Male culture of our warrior who take on the scum of the earth. They rattle union cohesion and they are out very quickly, not for their feminine traits, but for their piss poor ability to make decisions and soldier effectively.

Unfortunately, while most were “sent packing” old school back in the day, now the pro Liberal Homo sensitivity is being forced on our professional military.

Before these morons are zotted, hopefully they can give some real explanations for their lack of zeal for our professional and elite military. I’m not interested in 2nd tier military tradition either.

After the Pink Hand queer nation stepped into our conservative backyard and attacked the military if I didn’t hate it there would be something wrong with me.

I have been reading the posts so far and what I get is that most of these pro-homo types are women. The libs know they can get their agenda through by using the female emotional angle. And yes I am a woman.

I don’t agree with you entirely, but neither do I believe that your libertarian arguments should be dismissed with ridicule and abuse.

Fagots have been serving and it was not an issue. The issue is open homosexual behavior vice keeping your butt pirate activities to yourself. Sex in barracks is illegal it happens but if caught it is NJP at least in the Corps. Heterosexuals must get a hotel room just like the fags. Military service is not a right it comes with rules for good order and discipline. New discriminate against many people for many social reasons related to good order. Recoded criminals, drug addicts, ADDH are disqualifying factors. Homosexuality is not a benign factor like race, is is a behavior not compatible with modern military life. Do not through the minuscule English military out as an example nor the Israelis who are surrounded by enemies everyone must fight. Russia bans faggots, in 10 years they will over take us. Why because while we are worried about offending less than 2% of the military the Russian remains focused on it's job. Kill the enemy and take territory.

Dumbo had a bj in a limo by a gay man and thinks it should be our national policy.

As is his custom, Obama wants republicans to bend over backwards for the gay troops.
