The only reason I can think for not wanting to work with homosexuals in the military is homophobia, but I could be wrong. If I am, I'd appreciate it if Rifle or someone else enlighten us.Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090987963023239937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-51217544334628842522011-08-02T23:04:44.836-07:002011-08-02T23:04:44.836-07:00@ Publius Yeah, I read ya, Sir. ;)

I want anyone in the military that will be a competent, loyal soldier. The U.S. is made up of people of so many different backgrounds, lifestyle choices, etc., and if their choices do no harm to innocent people, then they should also be allowed to defend their country. I'd like to hear your reasons behind your opinion when you get the chance.<br /><br />@ Undeclaredwinner, I'm in no way questioning anyone's freedom of speech, nor one's freedom to hook up with the same sex. You are free to love anyone you want (as long as they are consenting and of legal age). And I am also not denying Ms. Coulter's claim to free speech. She's allowed to say whatever she wants, and I in turn, am allowed to say whatever I want about what she said. It's a beautiful thing! I hope you realize that I wouldn't deny anyone these freedoms, and I hope my post didn't indicate such an attitude, as it wasn't intended.Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090987963023239937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-38608865603581069872011-08-02T21:25:23.364-07:002011-08-02T21:25:23.364-07:00@ Elliot...

Leave it to an educated liberal to rigorously point this out, even when he agrees with the greater gist of it. I really do appreciate that attention to detail. As a side note, this blog will have a bit of a humorous edge to it, so it won't always be as consistently academic. <br /><br />But, indeed Coulter, Bachmann and others are highly educated, but what good is the education if it hasn't taught you to think critically enough to realize that the earth isn't 5,000 years old, that men weren't riding dinosaurs like the flintstones, and that the species of the earth couldn't have sustained themselves to the present day (let alone would Noah's ark be able to hold all of them) with only the genetic material of one couple. Inbreeding anyone?<br /><br />That was what I meant about not being educated in their case. You can have a Ph.D., but if you don't recognize the reality of evolution, I have every right to question the quality of your education (and, perhaps more specifically, the caliber of your mind).<br /><br />Anyways, thank you Elliot and everyone else for the intelligent/thoughtful feedback. Keep it coming if you have more comments, and if you don't, please keep up with future posts!Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090987963023239937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-85970866683209939112011-08-02T21:10:59.668-07:002011-08-02T21:10:59.668-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Publiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00090987963023239937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-36208789138450589122011-08-02T18:27:39.931-07:002011-08-02T18:27:39.931-07:00I agree with the postI agree with the postNow You Knowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07620780391143010303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-85150231950456401182011-08-02T16:47:43.650-07:002011-08-02T16:47:43.650-07:00Well clearly you and I have similar political beli...Well clearly you and I have similar political beliefs, and for the most part I agree with your post, but what I'd like to comment on is this"<br />"...between the educated, and those who believe that all of the species on Earth have survived to this day due to the excellent ship-building skills of Noah."<br />I'm afraid there are plenty of people take what the Bible says literally and are still highly educated. Coulter and Bachmann are both highly educated. That doesn't fix their rigid dogmatic thinking. I could (and did) go to school largely to reinforce my atheism (at the time), and so they could also (and do) go to school largely to reinforce their fundamentalism. But they are going to lose this battle in the end. It might take another decade or two, but in the end people who are openly gay will be allowed in the military, end of story, and they same goes for gay marriage. So in the end we liberals are going to win this one.<br />+followedElliot MacLeod-Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03101422996950773526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-72599725454903185522011-08-02T09:16:42.925-07:002011-08-02T09:16:42.925-07:00@Rifle .@Rifle .TheUndeclaredWinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874366095704472301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-76585723425925055522011-08-02T06:27:18.168-07:002011-08-02T06:27:18.168-07:00nice postnice postMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04718155273230583875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-57739261392179993442011-08-01T23:16:24.491-07:002011-08-01T23:16:24.491-07:00I agree that only heterosexual should be in milita...I agree that only heterosexual should be in military.

Although some are hard-wired from birth to be one or another sexuality, a person through circumstances and experiences could change their sexuality to another of their preference (it all comes back to nature vs. nurture.) <br />I believe that if someday I wish engage in a homosexual relationship with another open willing male that I would have the freedom to choose as such. Although it would not be true to my current nature, through life experience I believe it could be changed. (not to say praying to god makes you straight, because that is just foolish)<br />I believe in the equality of all people regardless of race, religion, physical/mental ability, colour, or sexual preference.<br />And Even though the pure hateful garbage she is spurting from her mouth is bigotry, and is an abuse of freedom of speech (with bans racial, ethical, sexual, and etc. hate speech) she is also free to choose to speak as such.<br /><br />But in all honesty and without conventions on my speech, her remarks make me facepalm. I can't believe the crap she is saying and I worry if these types of people are going to have influence in decisions affecting not just the United States but the World.<br />+Follow and +1 post.TheUndeclaredWinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874366095704472301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-79695493370048695282011-08-01T21:19:53.438-07:002011-08-01T21:19:53.438-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.TheUndeclaredWinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04874366095704472301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-88899160980297728992011-08-01T17:11:29.790-07:002011-08-01T17:11:29.790-07:00People like this makes Christians look bad, where ...People like this makes Christians look bad, where I am from you don't see Christians pull this.Sketcharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05630829259374455590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199427650648635905.post-26777979192153009442011-08-01T16:39:15.676-07:002011-08-01T16:39:15.676-07:00FFFFFFFFFF- I hate these kind of people.
