Holy crap. Dig this Freeper quote on today's DADT cloture vote.

[Codeine]

"If these people fear the Tea Party so much, the Tea Party needs to rise up and demand, no force, the House and Senate to provide honorable discharges for any military member who is deemed a CONSICENCENT OBJECTOR to serving with openly homosexual military members. No military member should EVER be forced to live with a homosexual against their will."

:rofl:

[Whisp]

1. maybe he meant CONCHSHELL OBJECTOR?

allergies to seafood?

[tsuki]

2. Actually, that is exactly what HST told the troops when he integrated

the services, and blacks and whites would have to live together and shower together. Those whose beliefs would not allow that mixing of the races were discharged honorably and sent home. Some left, more, a lot more stayed. It was a peaceful transition.

[onehandle]

3. Skard of teh gay.

Or attracted to.

[blondeatlast]

5. Choice "C." all of the above. nt

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. CONSICENCENT????

OMG

:rofl:

[KansDem]

11. So the guy has trouble spelling!

Don't be so contencent! ;)

[David__77]

6. The "Tea Party" has no position on DADT.

If it did, then it wouldn't be the "Tea Party" any longer. I favor making social issues the center of everything.

[JoePhilly]

20. The Tea Party has a posiiton ... they just avoid mentiong it ... that ...

along with most of their social conservative stances. They keep their social positions quiet because they want independents to embrace their "defict hawk" side.

[CurtEastPoint]

7. heh heh...he said military member... heh heh

[tomm2thumbs]

8. I guess they call that 'the wide stance' discharge - or they could just admit that

their fear is grounded in internal battles - protest too much doth ye?

[louis-t]

9. "CONDESCENDING OBJECTOR"?

[WilliamPitt]

10. "CONSICENCENT OBJECTOR"

Mega-derp.

[Lyric]

12. I'm cool with allowing the homophobes to be discharged.

Maybe when they realize that they have a way "out", we'll see how many of them are actually brave enough to give up their jobs for the sake of their right-wing bullshit rhetoric. Right-wingers are never very good at sacrificing--at least not when the sacrifice involves *themselves*.

[badgerpup]

16. You've noticed that, huh?

It seems that every time the phrase "Sacrifices must be made" comes into play, it ain't never the person (or their particular in-group) saying it who has to make the actual sacrifice.

:wtf:

[jesus_of_suburbia]

23. I agree. Let them leave. If they stay, they agree it isn't a problem.

I don't see many of them leaving.

[Still a Democrat]

13. But the Tea Party isn't about social issues, right?

Focused like a laser on big government, we were told.

[Bucky]

14. They. Are. Screwn.

And yet, ironically, disapproving of how others get screwned.

[Odin2005]

15. New Freeperism!

:rofl:

[Motown_Johnny]

17. there is a thread like that here also (worded differently)

[WiffenPoof]

18. Are They Aware...

...that people have been serving with gays forever???

-PLA

[AspenRose]

30. Thank you!

It's like, "duh!"

These people are so ignorant :banghead:

[calimary]

19. Did he mean CONSENTUAL OBJECTOR?

CONSCIENTIFIC?

CONSCIENCE-ISH?

CONTIGUOUS?

NO NO NO! Just figured it out! I know what he meant! A CONTRADICTA RICE OBJECTOR!!! Yeah! That's it! Gotta be it!

:rofl:

[Swede]

21. How do you spell "spellcheck" over there anyway?

:shrug:

[pamela]

22. That sounds like a Panda name.

Consicencent.:rofl:

[Bigmack]

24. Spelling aside...

the clown that wrote this has no knowledge of the military.

In the real military... not the ones they invent in their minds and endlessly fantasize about... people do exactly what they are told. They serve with whom they are told, when they are told, and how they are told.

Gay, straight, purple, one big eye, tentacles... whatever.

The Corps told me that there are dark green Marines and light green Marines, but we were all Marines. If we didn't like that... well... we'd better fucking start liking it.

I'm saying that the repeal of DADT will be a non-event in the military, except that now gays won't get thrown out.

[DearAbby]

25. I lost my handy dandy Freeperese to English handbook

:crazy:

[Ohio Joe]

26. Stupid teabaggers

Dumb as fucking rocks.

[SalmonChantedEvening]

27. con-si-ken-sent?

:banghead:

[lumberjack_jeff]

28. Simple spelling error. It's "non-sentient objector". n/t

[Petrus Romanus]

29. LUMINESCENT REFRACTOR

[Statistical]

31. Funny thing is I actually agree with him.

If someone is that bigoted that they would end their military career to not be around "the gayz" well honestly it likely is best if they aren't in the military.

As someone else pointed out a similar thing was done when armed forced were desegregated. He is speaking from a place of hate and intolerance but he actually has a good point.

[pipi_k]

32. Whatever the hell kind of objectors they are...

fuck 'em.

Dishonorable discharge if they can't deal with it.

[MemeSmith]

33. The Fantastic By-product of this...

The fantastic by-product of this will be that the numbers of fundamentalist Christians distorting the mission of the US military will diminish as they take their discharges and leave.

Then, we can make some progress in the Muslim world to convince local populations that our actions are not a crusade.

We can begin to make fewer threats and more friends.

[burning rain]

34. God, what mongs.

That almost beats out my all-time favorite misspelling: "ciction" for "kitchen."

[Skittles]

35. yes, they should be forced

those bigots should be forced out of the military

[Warren DeMontague]

36. He Must Be A MAGNIFACTOR of the Crutch of CONSTIPATICENTOPOLOGY.

[Renew Deal]

37. Military members were already living with "homosexuals" against their will.

They just didn't know it in some cases. The military claims to be a job. You can't discriminate against people in other jobs. The military is catching up with the times.

[B Calm]

39. Hell in 1971 we had two openly gay men serving on my navy ship. No

one kicked them out of the Navy and they were well liked.

[quaker bill]

38. I am pretty sure that free will

is part of what you give up when you join the military. This is why they can order you to "take that hill" even when they are pretty sure that you and many of your friends will die in the process. Sleeping in the same barracks with a few dozen men, a couple of whom might be gay, is really not a big issue in this context. I am pretty sure that consciencious objector status is not and will not be granted on this basis.

It is an all volunteer force. If one has problems serving alongside minority, gay, and lesbian soldiers, don't re-up.
