Peter Pace Blasts Gays Again
Peter Pace must be a slow learner. The soon-to-be former Joint Chiefs of Staff again took some time to wag a moralistic finger at the gays:
Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, caused a stir at a Senate hearing Wednesday when he repeated his view that gay sex is immoral and should not be condoned by the military.
…
“Are there wonderful Americans who happen to be homosexual serving in the military? Yes,” he told the Senate Appropriations Committee during a hearing focused on the Pentagon’s 2008 war spending request.“We need to be very precise then, about what I said wearing my stars and being very conscious of it,” he added. “And that is, very simply, that we should respect those who want to serve the nation but not through the law of the land, condone activity that, in my upbringing, is counter to God’s law.”
Anti-war protesters raised their voices to call Pace a bigot, while Senator Tom Harkin called Pace’s comments “hurtful”. When Pace noted that the military code forbids homosexuality, Harkin said, “Well, then, maybe we should change that.”
So the laws of the land should only match what God’s law is according to Pace’s upbringing? So if he had been raised Koasher, then we should have Kosher law of the land? What an ignorant idiot.
OK, this is just nuts. There’s this book, and some folks are just dead-convinced that every syllable is holy law dictated by an invisible wizard, just because someone told ‘em so. And these people are not being institutionalized why? (And while we’re at it, in MY upbringing pointy-headed small-minded dumbfuck dimwits weren’t supposed to be strutting around making the rules)
