Ideology over Safety

I noted today, an Associated Press report, that our Military has terminated 3 more U.S, Soldiers. Experts in the Arabic language. "Linguists" who search for hints of Terrorist plots against American interests. They were relieved from Duty under the "don't ask, don't tell" policy (regarding their sexual persuation).

To date, the Military has terminated 58 Arabic linguists under this "don't ask, don't tell"
policy.

Let me get this straight (pun intended). We have loyal military personnel, who are willing to protect our national interests against, Terrorist efforts, yet we are going to put our country at a greater risk of Terrorist attack because people who can protect this Nation have a sexual persuation, that is supposedly sinful, and therefore unfit for Duty. However they are fit for Duty if they stay in the closet.

So it's ok to die for your country if you don't make it evident which side of the plate you Bat from.

Ok, homophobes, here's a question for you? Do you think we have Homosexuals in Congress or the Executive Branch? You betcha. Guaranteed both places.

Do we have people in the CIA, FBI, NSA who are homosexuals? You betcha.

Do we have Border Patrol, or Coast Guard personnel who are homosexuals that are protecting our borders? You betcha.

Do we have Sheriff's, or local, State Police who are homosexuals? You betcha.

Do we have clergy who are closet homosexuals? You betcha.

Are you going to stick your head up your arse and pretend they aren't there, and assume all is ok, as long as you don't really know? You bet you are.

Here's a scenario for you. Assume you are being assaulted on a dark street, by someone holding a deadly weapon, and you are screaming for help, and someone runs up to save your life or your virtue. Are you going to accept their help unconditionally, or are you going to ask them first, "you aren't Gay are you?" If they tell you first, they are Gay, but will save you, you aren't going to say "ewww, you fag, go away". You are going to let them save you, then you are going to continue to live your life, in your holier than thou way, aren't you?

That my friends, is Wingnuttery in it's finest.

Hello McFly. Who's running this insane asylum? Don't answer that.

I already know.

Ideology trumps reason yet again.

The worship of the military is a religion and you shouldn't expect logical consistency or the rule of reason.

You see, the guy who ordered the My Lai massacre was fighting for our freedom. The guy who murdered Sitting Bull was fighting for our freedom as were the troops who invaded panama, made war with Mexico and Spain -- and so were the fellows who hunted down the Seminoles and shot men women and children like vermin.

But not the Gay ones. God hates them

Fear mongering plays well, always has. The Bogeyman (whomever that happens to be at the moment), plays better now than Satan. (I did read your note on Dick Cheney).

The only good Indian is a dead Indian.

Better Dead than Red (during the Cold War).

Little did we know that the Grand Wizard of the Klan, now shrouds himself with a White House, instead of a White Hooded Cloak.

This is the most inane policy ever conceived in a democracy.

As you mention, it is rooted in judeo-christian "belief" ... We let irrational belief interfere with logic and reason far too much in this country...
