General Peter Pace comments on Gays in the Military

In his own words.

Something To Think About General Pace

When I served in the military I was "approached" by a major but thank god after one drink too many he went to sleep and didn't follow through on his more basic instinct. Throughout my tenure in the Army Reserve I did not encounter anything that would be considered harrassment or any other form of male agressive behavior. I'm one of the lucky ones. This story, however, is quite disturbing on many levels and it is obvious that something must be done about it. I present it here to make a statement about the military's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy. General Pace should be more concerned about this kind of dreadful behavior on the part of male soldiers that the supposed "immoral" behavior of gays serving in the military.

UNBELIEVABLE!

This has to be the most unbelievably ignorant article I have read in a very long time. This has reinforced my view that "christians" have more problems that those "claimed" to be immoral.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this article.

HRC vs Bloggers

I'm not sure why everyone is surprised at HRC's behavior. I have known for years that HRC was not the bi-partisan group they claim to be. They have made a mockery of the word. I knew they preferred playing with the Dems for years but was crstalized when they insisted on including the T (transgender) in the ENDA legislation. When any organization starts believing their own hype it's time to close up shop.

Gays vs Straights

I'm not sure what to think of this letter from Larry Kramer but I will post it here and think on it. I will post my comments tomorrow.

Coulter Criticized

As is the norm with The New York Times, this article was buried on page 24 of the main section of the Sunday paper. Why? Because The New York Times would be the last publication to show that the GOP actually decries bad behavior. I guess I should be happy that they printed the criticsm.

Sen. Hillary Clinton at Human Rights Campaign Board Meeting

There is a great line from "Cat On a Hot Tin Roof" by Big Daddy played by Burl Ives where he says, "What is that smell? It's the smell of mendacity." It's not exact but the use of the word mendacity is what I'm after. This speech by Hillary Clinton to HRC is just that "mendacity." And why is it so? Because like HRC, Senator Clinton is about making gays feel good.

Let me start at the beginning. First, Senator Clinton may have voted against the FMA but she is against same-sex marriage. When she first ran as Senator she stated that marriage is between a man and a woman and she continues to say that to this day even though she claims that her "opinions" have "evolved." Sounds like Romney. She made this revelation at a meeting with gays back in October saying that she would not oppose Spitzer's enactment of a same-sex marriage law in New York State. Before this meeting, another high powered gay and lesbian group had this to say about her, "She is a complete disappointment and does not deserve an LGBT fundraiser." This came from Executive Director Alan Van Capelle of the Empire Pride Agenda.
Second, her "support" for gays serving in the military is mendacity at its highest level especially since her husband gave us "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," several days after he stated at an ESPA dinner in 1990 that he saw gays as part of the American fabric. His signature adorned this policy several days after his "feel good" speech at ESPA's fall dinner. Third,Hillary is on record as saying that she would vote for Don't Ask, Don't Tell. So for her to say that she supports soldiers who are gay is a crock like the rest of her speech.

Senator Clinton is very similar to her husband in words if not in deeds. If gays, with the help of HRC, believe that they have an advocate in Hillary I would suggest they stop smoking that weird weed.

Ann Coulter calls Al Gore a

I'm not sure where to start when commenting on Ann Coulter. I play this video because Youtube did no have her latest sophmoric rant about John Edwards being a "faggot." It seems that Ms. Coulter knows a lot of faggots, Al Gore, Bill Clinton and now John Edwards. Is this what Conservatives have to offer the larger community as a way of making their case? This woman has a law degree, have sold several books, most of which are nothing but blowhard crap, and is continually courted by Conservatives? Come on, any thinking human being, be they Conservative or otherwise, can do better than this. I have to admit that I was a Coulter fan until I read her first book, "Slander" and realized that I could have written a better book. The book was full of "emotions," what Conservatives accuse liberals of and opinions and nothing nearing "facts." It is obvious that Ms. Coulter survives on ad hominem attacks to sell books and garner speaking engagements. There are several things I could say about Ms. Coulter but unlike her I don't lower myself to such attacks. I'm all for freedom of speech but when its so offensive and sophmoric it should be jeered and not cheered.

Black History Month

In honor of Black History Month (BHM) I submitted a letter to the editor of my local newspaper regarding the banning of the N-word. This is what they published it is somewhat different than my original but the essence of the letter was preserved. Now we are in another "theme" month. More on that later.
