Ron Paul: The Only White Male Republican to Vote For Repeal of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell'

Does the Military have a right to choose what type of soldiers they want?

No. The military doesn't have rights...

So, why the repeal?

We are going to have a draft, so a person cannot be exempt from the draft for claiming to be gay.

Assuredly. I've been saying that for quite some time, all the other arguments aside. Perhaps after this we'll see a "women's equity" bill or somesuch that makes women eligible for the draft for non-combat positions, too? Or a "Professionals Service Act" that drafts people who have "relevant knowledge" into the military to apply it on behalf of the Government?

Icky stuff. I fail on so many levels as far as the military is concerned. What a relief.

Count on it.

The legal framework is now in place to make it impossible to draft men only.

I have a moral/spiritual problem with homosexuality

.

And you should pray about your problem with it Theo. I hope you do not feel it is up to you to be judge and jury because you have a problem. To me your problem with homosexuality is a personal problem and not something you have any authority over in another person especially if they have not asked you to help them with your problem with homosexuality. Being a Christian myself I think I think I am within my boundaries on this with you because you are trying to use your belief to govern someone else. In politics either you are for individual freedom or you think your belief system should be forced on everyone. You can be a Christian and not be on a mission to rid the world of homosexuality it is not up to you. God is the judge not you He will deal with it in His way and in His time and in the mean time maybe you strive to be the type of Christian that people want to emulate.

The thing I don't get about Theocrat's argument is that it seems to be based on the idea that gays don't have a right to be gay because God, in his conception, doesn't approve of it. But if that's how he determines whether a right is valid or not, I don't see how or why he could be anything like a libertarian at all.

Theocrat, do you believe a person has the right to be another religion other than Christianity? Even though in your opinion God does not approve of any other religion but yours? Do you believe people have the right to do drugs? Fornicate? Commit adultery? I would think you do. So why is there a political difference in your mind between these things and being gay?

I don't know why you guys ignored my post. But most of you here seem to be ignoring a critical point. And by critical, I mean all 21 pages are pretty much a waste of time.

You guys are making me really sad. Please, use reason, logic, pay attention to this.


THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE ABOUT BEHAVIOR DADT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH BEHAVIOR. "HOMOSEXUAL" BEHAVIOR WILL STILL BE BANNED. BEHAVIOR IS 95% OF THE MILITARY'S JOB. THE OTHER 5% IS EVERYTHING ELSE. STOP BEING IGNORANT. THERE ARE ALREADY LOTS AND LOTS OF GAY PEOPLE AS WELL AS RAPISTS, MURDERERS, SATANISTS, NEONAZIS, AND EVERYTHING EVIL YOUR BIGOTED HEART FEARS IN THE MILITARY, YET SOMEHOW IT DOESN'T DERAIL ANYTHING. MILITARY BEARING. MILITARY BEARING. MILITARY BEARING.
