Finally, proof that there still remains some level of sanity in Congress, however slight, was evidenced by the fact that despite a plea from the Barry "Almighty" administration that the military ban on sodomy and bestiality be repealed, a House-Senate conference committee has restored the ban to the final version of the National Defense Authorization Act. The sodomy-bestiality ban would have been repealed by the version of the bill that had been approved by the Senate. I mean you have to ask yourself, what kind of individual is it that would think it perfectly acceptable to force those serving our country into the uncomfortable position of having to tolerate such behavior and for no other reason that to increase the odds of getting votes from those who favor taking part in such activities. It goes to show just how low this administration is willing to sink as goes on its quest for votes.
It was a spokesman for the House Armed Services Committee that said on Wednesday that the Barry "Almighty" administration had “made its pitch” on repealing Article 125 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice related to sodomy, but the members of the conference committee “were not persuaded” that such a change was actually needed. Tom McClusky, vice president of government relations for the Family Research Council, praised House Armed Services Chairman Howard “Buck” McKeon (R-Calif.), saying McKeon was one of the reasons why the Senate-passed provision did not wind up in the final conference report. McClusky also credited public outrage directed at members of the Senate--who had voted 93-7 less than two weeks ago to repeal Article 125. Outage sparked because most Americans possess a higher level of respect for the military than do most Democrats.
Sen. John McCain (R.-Ariz.), the ranking Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee had said last week that despite his, supposedly spending many hours working on the Senate version of the bill, he was unaware that it repealed the ban on sodomy and bestiality. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R.-S.C.), who is also a member of the Armed Services Committee, likewise said he was unaware that the bill his committee produced repealed the ban on sodomy and bestiality. McCain and Graham both voted for the bill in the Senate. How can you "spend many hours" working on an important piece of legislation and be oblivious of something as glaring as a ban on sodomy and bestiality? I'm just not getting that. Maybe they should actually read what it is that they are voting for, especially when it involves our troops who have so little to say about their environment.
After it was publicized by several news outlets that the Senate bill would repeal the sodomy-bestiality ban, White House Spokesmoron Jay "I'm a clueless moron" Carney supposedly mocked some reporter who asked him about the repeal at a White House briefing. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), who I generally chalk up to being nothing more than a group of half-baked loons, then sent a letter to Carney rebuking him for dealing with the issue so "flippantly" and also another letter to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta urging that the military's ban on bestiality be retained. I suppose if there is one issue where I'd be willing to say this group has a point it would be this one. While I guess it can be considered as being cruelty to animals how about it simply being viewed as an activity that takes perversion to a whole new level.
And something that should come as no surprise, Aubrey Sarvis, the executive director of the Service Members Legal Defense Network, a top homosexual activist group, said his group was disappointed that the conferees voted to keep Article 125 on the books. “Dropping Article 125 has been recommended for more than a decade by SLDN and several groups, including the Cox Commission that includes distinguished legal scholars from the military and academia, as well as the Comprehensive Review Working Group,” Sarvis said in a statement Wednesday. He went on to add, “The Senate was right to take this action, and it is unfortunate that their attempt to end Article 125 did not prevail. SLDN will continue to work with the Senate, House, and Department of Defense to bring about this needed change." Needed change? No, I really don't think so.
McClusky, meanwhile, said that the Barry "Almighty" administration is not likely to give up on the issue. “I would expect we’ll see the Obama administration going after it again,” he said. “I don’t see how they lie down on this because this is something that for a lot of the homosexual groups whom the administration is beholden to, this is one of their top priorities,” he said. Well that's a no brainer. When it comes to anything that helps in tearing down the morals of our society, and at the same time garners them some votes, its something that Democrats are strongly in favor of. For the time being, there continues to be significant opposition in the House of Representatives to any effort to decriminalize sodomy and bestiality, he added. “Even before the bestiality provision was brought forward, there were many members on the House side who said they would fight this, and bring down the bill, if needed,” McClusky said.
I'm really getting tired of the never-ending assault taking place to remove whatever stigmas that may still remain in our society. The very fiber of our society seems to be under constant attack from those on the left. We now have a president of the United States, the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, essentially advocating that the taking part in bestiality by those in the service be permitted to take place without any fear of retribution. Just how twisted is that? Is this what Barry learned from attending Jeremiah Wright's church for 20 years? Barry is so intent on destroying this country that there is no longer remains anything that is considered as going to far. He is disgusting, and not only a failure as a president, but a failure as human being. He has no respect whatsoever for those in our military, they are to be treated as labs rats in some sick experiment, especially if in the end it gets him some votes.
