Gay conservatives call out Pawlenty over Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell

See, this is why conservatives of the normal persuation don’t like these guys. There are a lot of conservatives who support gays in the military, just as there are a lot who don’t. There are conservatives who support abortion rights. And those who don’t. There are conservatives who support a flat tax. And those who don’t.

But it’s rare to find conservatives calling another conservative out for their point of view. It’s rude and very unconservative-like because it violates the 11th commandment. Which causes everyone to question some people’s bonefides because whenever it happens it seems to be from these guys.

GOProud and its chairman Chris Barron are somewhat of a joke in the LGBT community given their focus on gay issues like “defunding Planned Parenthood, repealing health care reform, blocking gun control, and abolishing the Department of Education … defense of constitutional originalism, cuts in corporate taxes, support for school vouchers, and opposition to federal marriage reform.”

GOProud is also opposed to ENDA.

Yes, Dennis, it is not a pretty sight to watch the infighting between extremist conservatives that are so out of touch with mainstream America even as some of us thinking liberals bring out the popcorn …

Beating a drum on cultural issues already decided is what this candidate deems important? Smart voters want to her about jobs-improving the economy-bring back prosperity, Mr. Candidate-what is the plan for that?

Dennis and lane i would some how like to privately tell you my story ,
i am a hetrol sexual person with a great wife and kids

i cant publicly disclose information but can privately
you two may then gain an understanding of what i have been trying to say with health care and the issues we have been talking about especially this one any ideas ?

What he meant to say was that we should pay special deference to those who share his prejudice, even if he needs to hunt to find them.

When Bush was busy driving our military into the ground, he had to lower the morals threshold, raise the signing bonuses, and prey on the desperately unemployed to fill the ranks – yet that did not stop him from drumming out critical personnel and other dedicated patriots just because of their orientation.

If Pawlenty got rid of all gays, how much more would the standards have to be lowered and the price tag raised? While he’s at it, he could go whole-elephant and purge women from the military too. It would certainly cut down on rape in the ranks, which should improve unit cohesion.

Far be it from us to demand honor, respect, and professionalism in the ranks. That would be too much like a world-class military.

“If Pawlenty got rid of all gays, how much more would the standards have to be lowered and the price tag raised?”

That’s actually pretty funny, zera lee.

If it was up to me, the combat arms would consists of only single men (straight of course, we want warriors). No wives, no children to add cost to the operation or to distract the warrior.

All other jobs could be handled by civilians. Even homosexual ones.

Elect me in 2012

I should mention that this was suggested by the Marine Commandant during the Clinton administration in reaction to his observation that the military was becoming just another uniformed government job.

So then, if my two sons (who are young children now) turn out to be straight, then when they’re 18 they won’t have any value to anyone anymore and should become “warriors?” I would beg to differ on that.

Dennis,

How could we vote for you in 2012 when you never leave your parent’s basement and you refuse to answer any of my questions with facts, I’ll give you another chance.

-Name 1, just 1 freedom, civil liberty, right we have lost since Obama became president.
or
-You stated that the halls of the Mayo Clinic looked like the “U.N.” answer my question, when was the last time you were at the Mayo clinic, give me the date, so you can support your statement.

i got a better idea you must be
45 years old sexual preference doesn’t matter .
a bonus if you have a mate and children in college
at least 20 continuous years of dedicated work
a retirement plan

then there would be no wars we would all be to busy trying raise our family’s and looking forward to retirement

the comment from chad leave your parents basement
i hope that isn’t true Dennis
because then i would be right on the baboons 2 hours to eat and 9 hours to make other lives miserable
i wasn’t joking about that it is a 30 year study from some one on the topic of stress my self i have been to Africa and personally witnessed how baboons act

the rest of you just don’t entertain Dennis this is my last post for Dennis related stuff maybe my last post for good these just don’t solve problems or issue
its just a way to vent
all bachman is doing is stirring the pot she has no real power in Washington
she is running flank for the republican or tea party or paving the way for palenty

@Amy, that’s not what I said. The military is an all-volunteer force. If your boys want to get married and have children while they’re young nothing wuld prevent them from doing so.

But if they wanted to join the armed forces and fight for their country (not join up to get a government job with life-long benefits) they would have to wait until they got out before they could get married and have children. Assuming they survived, of course.

I was in the submarine service. Being on patrol under the sea for months at a time is a young man’s job. A few men on board were married, but they were the older ones and they were short-timers. Same goes for the Navy SEALS. When you have a family anxiously waiting at home for you it prevents you from taking risks … risks that may be needed in battle.

I forgot to add, that we actually had to get written permission from the commanding officer if we wanted to get married. When I did it, he made me wait until I had less than a year to go in my enlistment before he’d sign the papers.

Dennis, once again you have no history knowledge at all.

The oldest Warriors …. Do your research on Ancient Greek Warriors.

Do your research on ancient Roman Warriors.

But, that would have a lot of benefit to back yourself up in your theories of what makes a great warrior. Gay people of those times, didn’t raise families in most cases, they had the love and attention of other males, and therefore would make the best warriors.

:)

dennis, if you had your way there would be so few volunteers and so many obligations that you would have to re-institute the draft. Have fun with that.

Why would anyone who happens to be gay join a political party which openly expresses disgust and loathing of gays in its party platform and legislative agenda?

Isn’t that kind of like being Jewish and supporting the American Nazi Party or the Ku Klux Klan?

Some folks just aren’t very smart..
