Agreed. The whole idea of religious liberty is asinine. Sure, you can believe whatever you want, but the moment you step outside or open your mouth, you're in the real world and you need to handle yourself appropriately. I don't care if inside, you hate every gay person that ever existed, that doesn't need to be spewed all over the place through your gaping pie hole. Should racists just be able to declare their racism "religious liberty" and expect to be able to practice it openly? How about misogynists? Where do you draw the line? Discrimination is abhorrent no matter why you do it, just sticking a religious label on it doesn't make it any better.
A lot of these people in the military need to grow the hell up and get over it. Reality works just fine guys, enough of your idiotic testosterone-laden immaturity.
In fact, not very long ago at all in the grand scheme of things, racists used to do just that:
Using the Bible to justify slavery. Slavery in the Bible and early Christianity
We broke them of it, though, and Christianity somehow survived, rallied, and even- arguably- thrived.
It'll similarly survive this latest blow, I suspect. More's the pity.
Once again, all of this is agenda-fueled ranting by people who have never served in an infantry unit. There is a mountain of a difference between units that actually fight (5%) and those who are support (95%). The military doesn't want DADT to go away, but everyone else who would never serve themselves wants to throw in their two cents. Our men who actually go out and fight are doing a damn good job, leave the units alone.
yet you yourself don't serve... what job does your son do?
Oh man, the religious right at it's worst.

Samsamrt, I am glad that you make enough money to actually pay taxes. The majority of America gets all of their tax money back. You do have a say in which song gets played, but it is up to us to make sure the song can carry a tune. You don't want to be listening to music that doesn't sound right.

The last thing I was concerned about when I was deployed was where other doods were putting thier junk... All I cared about was if they could put lead down range. :shrug:
That said, all this posturing by the brass, libs, religious doods and what not, have little effect on the boots on the ground type when it comes to this kind of stupidity.
Actually, the longer DADT is continued to go on, the more experienced "boots on the ground" that are removed, leaving their units short handed. The truth of the matter is that it is those libs who you love to hate who want to keep those "boots on the ground". Interesting how you don't mention the right wingers who want to remove those "boots" from the ground.
I guess in your campaign of nonsense, and mouth foaming, you missed where I addressed the "Right wingers" when I mentioned the "religious doods".... But when your posts are so want for substance, at least you can still bold them. :thumbs:
"Religious doods" and "right wingers" are not the same sub set of extremists. :roll:
The main point , that you glossed over, is that the efforts to repeal this uneducated and fear based law is not at all about "posturing". THAT is what your right wing friends are doing. And in the process your pals are removing "boots from the ground". So, your claim that all you are concerned with is keeping "boots on the ground" conflicts with your attack on those "libs" who are actively trying to accomplish what you claim you want, doncha think? If you truly want those "boots" to "stay on the ground" it would seem you should be rooting for those "libs" to succeed.
The only mouth foaming around here is, as usual, coming from you. :doh
If only you could double bold your post, perhaps then you may seem relevant.........
btw, your guy put this law into place in the first place. /facepalm
Furthermore, Obama believes marriage is between a man and a woman, yet, your mouth foaming seems missing from critisizing him on this. Why?
Interesting how when your posts are shown to be inconsistent, absent of facts or partisan you always revert to childish personal attacks. Hmmm, I wonder why that is...
By the by, aside from his personal beliefs, Obama is repealing DADT. That's integrity. That's self-confidence. That's strength. Too bad your boy Bush didn't have some of those qualities, ehh? :2wave:
reverend-what unit/service were you? my view is coming from a Marine infantryman's,so we may view things differently.
see and I agree that they should serve in USAF roles... just my humble oppinion.
