The Pray In Jesus Name Project: 'defending our troops against open homosexual aggression'

[Bluebear]

from Pam's House Blend:

Look at this batsh*t crazy Human Events ad on the pending repeal of DADT. Well, clearly this is the kind of crap that the Obama administration and Congress fear -- and what is causing them to call for more study and to say it will be "several years" before implementing the repeal of DADT

URGENT NEW PETITION: SELECT HERE TO SIGN AND DEFEND OUR TROOPS AGAINST OPEN HOMOSEXUAL AGGRESSION, and we will fax your personalized petition to all 100 Senators and 435 Congressmen, (saving you hours of labor!)


OBAMA ENDANGERS TROOPS LIVES by REPEALING "DON'T ASK-DON'T TELL"

President Obama pledged in his State of the Union Address to promote open homosexual aggression within the ranks of the military, by directly recruiting Congressmen and Senators in 2010 to overturn the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law that saves troops lives and already guarantees equality. Ignoring a letter signed by over 1,150 retired military flag and general officers, who asked Obama to enforce the 1993 Clinton-era law that currently prohibits open homosexual aggression in the military, Obama instead sacrificed military readiness, unit cohesion, and safety of all American troops, to prioritize his special relationship with less than 1% of the American population who claimed to be homosexual in the last census.

"This year, I will work with Congress and our military to finally repeal the law that denies gay men and women the right to serve the country they love," Obama boldly misled, repeating the vow he made during a speech Oct. 10th before a gay rights group. (The truth is homosexuals already now have the right to serve, so long as they keep their sexual aggression to themselves.) "If you adhere to our common values, you should be treated no different than anyone else," Obama said oxymoronically, defining "equality" and "values" as a sudden endorsement of illegal acts of sod omy long banned by the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The Joint Chiefs sat stone-faced silent, aghast at Obama's plan, but powerless to publicly oppose their own Commander-In-Chief. We must be their voice...

1. That "several years" nonsense isn't from Obama or Congress.

It's sourced to one "news" article, citing Pentagon sources, written by a guy who has a long history of stirring shit with the left.

4. That says nothing like what the other article claimed.

And thank you so much for the ad hominem personal insult based on complete bullshit.

[LeftyMom]

6. Noting an observable trend in your posts is not an ad hominem attack.

[TheWraith]

8. I'm sorry that I'm not a member of the temper tantrum brigade of DU.

But failure to go around bashing Obama and declaring how all elected Democrats are traitors does not make one a homophobe.

[LeftyMom]

15. You really don't know when to shut up, do you?

Christ.

We get it. The evil mos don't really want their rights, they're just coming up with silly shit about legal recognition and equal rights under the law to keep The Dreamiest President Evar!!!11! *insert girlish squeal here* from getting his way, because they're catty bitches like that and they're pissed off about the primary. (This, boys and girls, is what psychologists call "projection." Look it up.) Go sing that song in the BOG, nobody else wants to hear it.

18. Have I told you lately

5. Just in case, here is your link you posted there. Yup, just in time

http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/78875-pentagon-to-investigate-possible-dont-ask-dont-tell-repeal
"But that upcoming inquiry -- and, ultimately, the end of the military's "Don't ask, don't tell" ban -- could take years to complete, officials have recently suggested."

[TheWraith]

9. A claim traced back to the bogus AP article.

Chicken... egg.

[Fixed_Based_Operator]

25. Why doesn't the media

ask the troops what they think about the issue?

It seems they could care less who is watching their back. It seems the stink is raised by everyone else NOT in the military.

[Bluebear]

19. Thank you!

[FreeState]

24. Oh and look here - your wrong again!

You really need to stop your crusaid against AmericaBlog - hes not always right - but your attacks on him dont help your credibility much.

Pentagon to take a year to study revising ‘don’t ask, don’t tell,’ officials say

WASHINGTON - Defense Secretary Robert Gates is promising to try to spare more gay troops from being dismissed from the military while the Pentagon takes a year to study revising its "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

An announcement of the study, expected Tuesday before the Senate Armed Services Committee, marks a measured step toward President Barack Obama's goal of eliminating the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy, which is based on a 1993 law.

Obama has called on Congress to repeal the law, but Democrats say they want more guidance on how to allow openly gay service members to serve without causing a major upheaval.

The yearlong study could pave the way for the biggest social change to the military since the 1948 executive order for the racial integration of units.

2. WTF is "homosexual aggression"?

:banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

[SharonAnn]

10. Not sure. But I'd like to protect our troops against "heterosexual aggression.

The female troops are victims of heterosexual aggression.

[GreenPartyVoter]

11. +1000!!

[leftstreet]

14. +1

[Terra Alta]

21. exactly.

the amount of abuse females in the military suffer is far more damaging than any potential threat of "homosexual aggression".

[MadMaddie]

17. Hunh!! But the same people have absolutly nothing

to say about the rapes against women from men in the military. Gosh why do I find that so odd?:sarcasm:

[sakabatou]

7. O NOES!!!111eleventy Not "teh gay!"

Motherfuckers.

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Everybody knows you are safe from teh gay if no one talks abouts it.

[Starry Messenger]

13. I'm so tired of these Dominionist assholes.

Their vision of this country is so grim and horrible. Their hate is all based on lies. If they actually had that much power McCain would be President--I really hope the Administration isn't enabling these dipshits.

[msongs]

16. on aggression: christians killed by gays vs gays killed by christians the past 2000 years nt

[Morning Dew]

20. We're probably more in danger from

dismissing translators and linguists who happen to be gay.

“Don’t ask, don’t tell” does nothing but deprive the military of talent it needs and invade the privacy of gay service members just trying to do their jobs and live their lives. Political and military leaders who support the current law may believe that homosexual soldiers threaten unit cohesion and military readiness, but the real damage is caused by denying enlistment to patriotic Americans and wrenching qualified individuals out of effective military units. This does not serve the military or the nation well.

Consider: more than 58 Arabic linguists have been kicked out since “don’t ask, don’t tell” was instituted. How much valuable intelligence could those men and women be providing today to troops in harm’s way?

In addition to those translators, 11,000 other service members have been ousted since the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy was passed by Congress in 1993. Many held critical jobs in intelligence, medicine and counterterrorism. An untold number of closeted gay military members don’t re-enlist because of the pressure the law puts on them. This is the real cost of the ban — and, with our military so overcommitted and undermanned, it’s too high to pay.

22. Maybe they should be praying instead to defend the female

troops against rape by male troops and contractors.

23. Why drag Jesus into this?

From the record we have, Jesus was all about forcing open closed doors and drawing a bigger circle of inclusion, whether it was sinners, poor people, or tax collectors (collaborators with the Roman occupiers). At one point, Jesus was confronted on his own biases by a Canaanite woman, and realized that even he had some work to do. But in the end, he drew the circle wide enough to include everyone, even the folks who were crucifying him.

And these folks invoke Jesus to slam the door in the faces of an entire segment of society, their families, friends, and supporters? Shame on them.
