KapoQuotable – Chris Barron

“Ann’s position on this clear, and so is GOProud’s. We respectfully disagree. We aren’t the pod people here at GOProud. We can disagree among ourselves. Unlike the left and their RINO enablers we don’t believe that every person who opposes DADT repeal is anti-gay. Indeed Ann has done more for gay people — courageously speaking out at CPAC, for example …

GOProud Board Member Ann Coulter Endorses Booing Of Gay Soldier

“Only eight Republicans in the entire U.S. Senate supported eliminating Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. It’s safe to assume that no one on the stage supported this sexualization of the military, except maybe one of the nut candidates polling at 3 percent. This is not an anti-gay position; it’s a pro-military position. The basic idea is that sexual bonds are disruptive …

PhoboQuotable – Father Alex Webster

“On Sept. 20, 2011, a date that will live in infamy, the U.S. armed forces were deliberately and successfully attacked by advocates of the scourge of homosexuality. The elimination of the last vestige of moral restraint on sexual perversion in the U.S. military, commonly known as the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, ushers in a new Orwellian era in which …

Southern Baptists: We Need A GOP President To Bring Back DADT

“I think there’s a grave concern on the part of the Southern Baptist chaplains that I’ve talked to in all branches of the service that their First Amendment rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religious free exercise are going to be either extinguished or severely limited in the near future and they’re very, very, very concerned.

PATRIOTS: Tea Party Audience Boos Only U.S. Soldier To Speak At GOP Debate

After a newly out U.S. soldier posed a question from Iraq, several Tea Party audience members at tonight’s GOP debate briefly booed the young man before Frothy Mix could even launch into his usual hateful bullshit about reinstating DADT.

Family Research Council Calls On Next President To Ban Gays From Military

“They did not tell the Pentagon that homosexuals have to serve; they just said we’re removing this law. So a new president could impose a new regulation or for that matter, Congress could pass a law saying ‘we now prohibit the service by people that are known to be homosexual.’ That’s easily done. Even though it would be the right …
