General Pace "was asked" about gays "and he told".
The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace, outraged gay advocacy groups with his views that homosexuality, which the Pentagon lists as a disorder and which he compared to adultery between service persons, was immoral. In his "ask, and I'll tell" interview, Pace also said that "allowing gays to serve openly in the military would condone immorality" and affirmed his support of the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy implemented by former President Bill Clinton. Listen to the audio and consider whether Pace is right or out of line.

I applaud General Peter Pace for taking the correct stand on this matter. His comments are right on target. There is NO REASON for him to apologize to anyone. His personal beliefs are his own and NO ONE need apologize for their personal beliefs. While I agree that he should be loving and respectful in his statements and (more importantly) actions, being forced to accept and celebrate the choice of homosexual behavior is NOT something anyone should be confronted with -- military or civilian.
These gay advocacy groups need to sit down and shut up! There is NOTHING "outrageous" or "insensitive" in what General Pace said in the interview. I listened to part of his comments. He was soft-spoken and respectful, but also firm in his resolve. Pace answered one question with a very straightforward and truthful answer, "The US Military’s mission fundamentally rests on the trust, confidence, cooperation amongst its members, and the homosexual lifestyle does not comport with that kind of trust and confidence and therefore is not supported within the US military. I’ll leave it at that."
Homosexuality *is* an immoral act. It is NOT natural, normal or moral. The lifestyle choice is rife with promiscuity, predatorship and infidelity -- all matters that point to trust, confidence and cooperation. General Pace should be applauded for standing his ground and speaking the truth.
I, personally, plan to be active in the fight against these homosexual advocacy groups as they seek to villainize General Pace. Here's hoping you will join the fight as well. It's high time conservatives (especially Christians) stand up for our beliefs and convictions.
I hear you. Today, Lexington, KY, was picked as one of 10 best places for gays and lesbians to live!
I agree with General Pace, and I condone his courage in saying the truth and not being an Ass-hat like Barak Obama!
What's an "Ass-hat"? Are you serving our country overseas -- like in the military?
