"GAY ACTIONS SHOULD BE MADE ILLEGAL"
So, now we have a man on Hardball representing Family Research Council telling me (an active duty military member - 20yrs) that a homosexual doesn't deserve to serve in the military. Hmmm...when did Peter Sprigg serve in the military? Does anyone know? Also, does the bible indicate that Peter Sprigg is THE JUDGE of people? I'm sorry, I don't recall reading about him in the New Testament or the Old either.
I am currently responding to a blog on the Family Research Council that indicates that I don't drink. Yup, they are the GOD of homosexuality and of drinking. According to the blog I am responding to, I kid you not, the title is: God + Marriage = Less Alcohol Consumption. Now isn't that a kick in my Jack & Coke? After all, it is true...I've been married over 20 years, go to church, and guess what? I didn't have a beer tonight. Must be that equation at work.
Don't be afraid to speak up in other locations. Hit blogs, hit websites, do research on this stuff. The more people get informed, the more credible those peoples comments become. Shoot, I plan to look for Mr Peter Sprigg's e-mail address and send him a personal message. I don't give a hill of beans if you are gay. I'd rather be at war with a homosexual sharp shooter than a straight lazy bum. Believe me, I've encountered my later during my years of service and not proud to admit it. I believe people like Peter Sprigg have watched too much "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" or maybe he became upset the day that Boy George stopped wearing the make-up. Whatever his issue is, he should keep it to himself. Have you ever heard of "some things are better left unsaid"? Yeah, it was a Hall & Oates song...but this man, Peter Sprigg, has made an unfortunate calculation by stating to Chris Matthews and those who watched (soon to be in the paper too), "Gay actions should be made illegal". I believe he should move down to Uganda where they actually tried to push "execution to homosexual" policy...he may be more happy there. Amazing how individuals who align themselves with the conservative movement try to claim they are so religious yet you hear them speak and their words don't match the rhetoric. Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, Hate, and oh yeah, cut taxes for the rich. Sounds like an easy agenda to follow...heck even Sarah Palin can understand that agenda...or can she?
Common sense is lacking in our nation. A black man becomes President and I thought that was a step in the right direction. However, I feel as though we have lost the last 20-30 years of progression when I see all the hate out there and the gun totting fools who show up in the vicinity of our President. Why do they feel threatened? Maybe it's the guilt of their past relatives who treated blacks so poorly. Maybe I am completely wrong and just dumb. But, we have taken a step in the wrong direction in this nation. There is too much hate and I am sick of it. So what, a black man is our President. Big freaking deal. The question is, can he fix the cancer that is within politics? I don't believe he can, but I have to give President Obama credit for getting in front of the camera and saying, "I made a mistake". Think of the thousands of fellow military persons who were killed in Iraq. For what? For WMD's? No. For the "crusade" of President Bush and Dick Cheney (who has no credibility). Does that suture the wounds of those wives, husbands, daughters, sons, left behind? No. Even if the war was for a credible reason...you cannot heal those wounds. I pray that President Obama is able to follow through on his thoughts and suggestions. I won't call them promises, because the man is a man...not GOD. Keeping all the suggestions he had during his run for President is impossible. I'll call it...his wants. He wants to do the right thing I believe. However, under our governing laws which control the amount of strength the President can have, we truly are going to go the way of Congress and those individuals. This is a good thing actually. Think back before you disagree. If you'd like President Obama to have the strength to overrule all, we'd have a Dictatorship. We came too close to that under the previous administration. They clearly erased the line that would be crossed when they subjected our nation to the world to be scrutinized for torture. If anyone denies on public TV again that water boarding isn't torture, they should be made to experience it live on a world-wide broadcast. Maybe we can submit a law that states you cannot create false allegations on broadcast networks. Wait, that would eliminate Fox News...where would Keith and Rachel get all those clips from?
I'm tired and I must go complete my message to the Family Research Council and express my strong feelings against Peter Sprigg. Remember those names; Family Research Council & Peter Sprigg. Why? Because they believe Gays should be put in prison; something the US Supreme Court didn't say on their ruling on 26 June 2003 (Supreme Court Issues Watershed Decision on Gay Rights)
