Toleration Doesn't Cut Both Ways

[RedPaddy]

The American armed forces exist to defend our nation, not to conduct social science lab experiments in which our troops serve as human subjects. Try telling that to this administration.
The first anniversary of the repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,” Sept. 20, has come and gone. Now, there is mounting evidence that proves our warnings were not idle chatter. The threat to freedom posed by this radical sexual experiment on our military is real: It is grave and it is growing.​

Activists inside and outside our government who pushed the repeal have deployed a smoke screen around the fact that once the military was forced to exalt homosexuality in the ranks, the all-too-foreseen consequence reared its ugly head.

So an unsourced opinion piece is now proof?

You have an awfully low threshold for what qualifies as proof.

Indeed.

Good to know you can refute none of the claims.

Official report from the military say otherwise. Do we trust the military or a hit piece meant to stir up anger against gays?

An opinion piece is on the same level as a blog. We know your opinion of blog pieces.

Except when they fit your agenda.

A lot of us knew this was going to happen, just as we know that tolerance is a one way street. Many of our liberal friends are keen to be tolerant of anything except that which opposes their own sensitivities. Which, by the way, is the very definition of intolerance and bigotry.

Hello people, and God's blessings upon you all. I am in the United States Army, though a medic I have been in Infantry Battalians my entire 6 years so far, and I have to say that the repeal of don't ask don't tell has had no effects on any of us. ANY out here... not morale or in any way shape or form. I thought you would like to hear the point of view from a soldier. Once again, God bless and have a good day.

I see. accept the blog, ignore the report from the military.

Thank you for commenting. And thanks especially for your service! Blessings to you brother! Be safe!

No one has to refute the claim. That's not how the burden of proof works. It doesn't make sense to post an opinion piece and then demand that people prove it untrue. "It's true unless you can prove it untrue" isn't how it works.

Except it is not. Nice try, though, but someone defending their own intolerance by saying other people do it to is a.) a logical fallacy and b.) just weak, dude.

A quick google search of "military chaplains gay marriage" shows the numerous biased omissions in the fluff piece you linked to.

Attack the source when you got nothing. Your union has trained you well.

I don't think the military likes being called soft or biased. You might want to think twice before opening your mouth to say such things.

I didn't know you were a brother union member!

a blog post? That's the best you got?

From the Warren thread you started...

Solidarity forever brother!

I didn't introduce a logical fallacy, I stated a truth
