Today's Topic: Top U.S. general weighs in on "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"

He made it on my Fundies Say The Darndest Things list. He is obviously a nut-job and to think this man is head of one of the world most powerful military forces, a force that is supposed to represent a free nation and then he comes up and insults a segment of this nation, insults the patriotism of a segment of this nation. And to think of all the Americans who have given their lives for this country, lots who happen to be homosexual, and then this retard gets on national TV and spews his religious tardisms on camera. This man is supposed to be well educated, level-headed, and this junk rolls out his hole? I am sick of this current administration, its a dark cloud over this country, we are being left in the dust by other more progressive countries with regards to civil rights, this isnt supposed to happen, WE are taught that WE, the US, is the beacon of freedom and peace and happiness, but as we see over and over again it is the other way around. As an American, who happens to be homosexual, im at my wits end of being constantly attacked and insulted by my government whom I pay about 35% of my taxes too and to have them get up there and bash me all the time is old and im over it. This administration is pure evil, plain and simple, its not normal, that general is exhibiting behaviour that is not normal and is pure hate, nothing else. We are having a repeat of the civil rights era with the blacks and ill be god damned if we are gonna allow all that crap happen again.

Reviewing the Truth (about Don't Ask, Don't Tell)

I find the leadership of the US so appallingly bad that I want to find another Country to live and pay taxes in.

Pace's words aren't necessarily tied to the overall graft and corruption. However, the point of view he expresses is inconsistent with a modern pluralistic Republic. Perhaps Pace is expressing what he considers his true moral outlook. If that's the fact (rather than just pandering for political manipulation), Pace needs to be replaced.

What a jerk.

What an absolute a-..... He definitly needs to apoligize and should be removed from his post for such an sickening statement. he is an example of everything that is wrong with this govt and nation. Sad....

The problem with don't ask, don't tell is that they don't abide by it in the Military either. If someone finds out you're gay, even if you've never done anything to call attention to yourself or your orientation, then you're out. I agree with people who don't want to allow flaming gays who make a public statement of their sexuality through their behavior into the military. However, most of the gays I know who served were not any different than straights other than for the fact they preferred to have sex with members of their own sex.

There's a huge gap between someone who shows up for morning inspection in makeup and fuzzy pink slippers, or who lisps his way through a conversation, and an ordinary guy or woman who just wants to do their job and go home. Believe it or not, more gays fall into the second category than the first.

General Pace was off base because he was expressing personal bigotry in an official capacity which is unacceptable.

Top general seeks to calm homosexuality row

Do we have the guts, as a country, to apply one set of rules to everybody ? If we are to demand accountability and responsibility from our politicians and all our military leaders, do we have the guts to demand the same from ourselves ?
How about no more "buck passing" or "finger pointing " period ! It seems like we are playing a self-indulgent party game in which we sit on a perch and wait for someone in the media to throw out an "issue" that we can slam someone for, destroy them, and then go back on our perch and wait for the next victim.
The statement "Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace " made came from a guy in charge of group whose purpose is to do actual fighting and killing if necessary in order to defend this country. Was his statement wrong ?
My opinion is that gays can probably be just as good in the military as any straight person can be. But, if you read the meaning behind Pace's statement, what he was saying was that sexual behavior in the military by anyone is not a good thing.
I don't think the armed forces condone any type of sexual behavior, whether it is homosexual or straight. Would we be satisfied if a policy were put into place that allowed both gays and straights to serve openly, but penalized either of them that engaged in sexual behavior while on duty ? Or would we resist that because it would deprive us of something to jump on from our perch when we were bored and needed something to destroy ?
If gays and straights were allowed to serve equally, and both were equally penalized for sexual misconduct would we be happy ? I would be.

I would like to hear what Pace has to say about women? It's time to evolve as a nation and a people.

He'd prolly tell you to shut your mouth and get your ass in the kitchen and make him a pie.
