The ever predictable James Dobson founded, Tony Perkins led Family Research Council has responded to President Obama’s call to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell” by claiming that Obama is trying to sexualize the military… sigh.
Washington, D.C. – Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released the following statement in response to President Obama’s first State of the Union Address:
“At a time of enormous economic challenge, two on-going wars in which Americans are fighting and increased terrorist threats to Americans at home, President Obama seems untethered from that reality as he called on Congress to force the military to allow open homosexuality. As a veteran of the Marine Corps, the timing of the President’s call in the midst of two wars shows that he is willing to jeopardize our nation’s security to advance the agenda of the radical homosexual lobby.
“The military is a warrior culture for a reason: Our service members wear the uniform to fight and win wars, not serve as liberal social policy guinea pigs. The sexual environment /* This brain dead moron thinks that the repeal of DADT is about the sex. They’ll never get it. */ the President is seeking to impose upon the young men and women who serve this country is the antithesis of the successful warfighting culture and as such should be rejected.
So this will be the right-wing meme on this. The repeal of DADT means our military will be fucking instead of fighting? Or will it make everyone gay? No clue. The daftness of this press release is typical.
