tony perkins.... 'Ending 'don't ask, don't tell' would undermine religious liberty'

[spanone]

the stupid is just fucking painful




Some people think allowing open homosexuality in the military means nothing more than opening a door that was previously closed. It means much more than that. It would mean simultaneously ushering out the back door anyone who disapproves of homosexual conduct, whether because of legitimate privacy and health concerns or because of moral or religious convictions.

This outcome is almost inevitable, because pro-homosexual activists have made it clear that merely lifting the “ban” on openly homosexual military personnel will not satisfy them.

The stand-alone bills that have been introduced to overturn the 1993 law, such as S. 3065, call explicitly for:

Revision of all equal opportunity and human relations regulations, directives, and instructions to add sexual orientation nondiscrimination to the Department of Defense Equal Opportunity policy and to related human relations training programs.

While not in the defense authorization bill amendment approved by the House of Representatives and a Senate committee last week, this goal will undoubtedly be accomplished administratively as part of the “necessary policies and regulations” mandated by that amendment.

1. Wow, what a psycho (nt)

[tabatha]

2. There you go again

Just mention the words freedom or liberty, and people's brains seize up.

[arbusto_baboso]

3. Didn't you know it's inherently discriminitory to discriminate against the bigoted?

:sarcasm: as if it's necessary....

4. providing food to the hungry will cause starvation.

Providing health care to the sick will cause disease.

5. Does this guy EVER yank his head out of his ass? nt

[lob1]

7. I don't think so. He must be happy with the way it fits.

[keopeli]

6. "whether because of legitimate privacy and health concerns..." and exactly what 'legitimate' concern

are those he speaks of? Legitimate health concerns? Can I get a list please? Legitimate privacy concerns? Whose privacy? Is this that 'I don't want to shower with gay people' thing again? Here's your answer: if you're so modest, wear a swimsuit. After all, the only person with a 'privacy' problem here is YOU.

This guy is a Ted Haggard waiting for his rentboy.com fling to call the newspaper.

10. nice catch...

...maybe their "ligitimate health concern" is "catching the gay".

[Ruby the Liberal]

14. Apparently the rally cry is currently "HIV infected blood"

Because DADT means that since people aren't public about their orientation means they aren't sexually active, and once repealed, the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine bases will all turn into nightly orgies and homosexual rape rooms.

I shit you not. They are really saying this - including a congressman on the floor of the house reading into the congressional record. Don't recall his name (I think he was from Texas), but the video is posted here.

18. Hitler had a gay army

And that army was very nasty as well as very gay. They said that too.

I don't know who revised history for them. I guess they make it up figuring enough people will believe it no matter how ridiculous it is.

[nadinbrzezinski]

8. WOW!!!!! This is just amazing!!!!

It would actually prevent him from pushing his crazy religion ... just wow.

[Solly Mack]

9. Lot of hate in that thinking

[Ruby the Liberal]

11. Dear Tony, "religious convictions"? Really?

So what you are saying is that it is the Christian's right to interfere in another soul's life? That the Christian thing to do is to refuse to serve next to someone who believes differently than they do? Really?

Here is my suggestion, sir: Find a deserted island and set yourself up a theocracy. Your "opinion" is not welcome to this citizen of a separation-of-church-and-state nation.

[laughingliberal]

12. Yeah? My religion forbids bigotry. Fuck him. nt

[Mari333]

13. they hate it when they lose power, dont they

tough shit.

[RedCappedBandit]

15. I tried to find a legitimate argument. I failed. nt

Hate churches always lose out in these deals.
