Question

Which presidential candidate says that we should encourage our children to be homosexuals in order to better defend our country?

I'm impressed, only one liberal has insulted me so for asking a completely valid question.

Answer 1

All the Damn-O-Crap candidates

Answer 2

A presidential candidate actually said this? H. Clinton would be the first one that comes to mind.

Answer 3

That question is really stupid. It is insulting to the candidates. It is insulting to Gays. And it is insulting to people who believe we are all born equal, with no man or woman spouting bigotry and ignorance to the detriment of others.

Grow up and, if you are going to debate politics, do it intelligently and not with smarmy little insults.

Answer 4

I had not been aware that any candidate had said that. Perhaps there is a misunderstanding of what a candidate said? Or perhaps you are reading an, umm, creative interpretation into it.

Either way, could you be a bit more specific? As its stands now, the only thing that springs to mind is Mitt Romney's previous stand on gays.

Thanks.

Answer 5

It was Mike Gravel who claimed that Spartans trained their soldiers to be homosexuals in order to improve cohesion among the ranks.

He doesn't know his history, but he did raise a good point in comparing the abolition of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" to when Harry Truman desegregated the military. I think that policy is f'n retarded, who gives a crap if the guy next to you in the shower, in the barracks, or on the battlefield, is gay? You showered in high school after Gym Class, it ain't that much different. I'd personally be more concerned about not getting shot in a battle than if one of my brothers in arms was gay; but that's just me, I have this thing with self-preservation, I like living and not worrying about petty and pointless issues. If you're so damn worried about it, you are the one with the problem, not the gay guy. If you're that obsessed, I 'd suggest counseling. Really, who gives a damn!! (Not directing this mini-rant @ you BTW.)

BTW, he wasn't encouraging our children to become homosexuals, that's just far-right spin; on another note, have you ever considered working for World Net Daily? Your ludicrous spin would fit right at home with that site!

Answer 6

None of them that I have heard. How will that better defend the country? What's sex got to do with it?

Answer 7

It is presidential candidate Mike Gravel from Alaska. He was up at a gay pride event in New Hampshire recently and a reporter says to him, "Senator Gravel, every election, it's always the gay issue that comes up, it seems. You know, first it was Clinton, don't ask, don't tell. They used that against him. Now it's the gay marriage thing. What do you think about all that?"

GRAVEL: Do you know something? Clinton was dead wrong, dead wrong on that issue. It's ridiculous. He was trying to be mousy and in the middle. When Clinton got to be President, well, the first he's doing is standing there on two legs waffling back and forth, oh, don't tell us you're gay. What are you talking about? If you had any knowledge of history, ancient history, in Sparta they encouraged homosexuality because they fight for the people they love. And if it's your partner and you love them, you're prepared to die for them, and that's the same ethic you see in the military today. It's not the country. It's my partner. Go see the movies on war, and it's always the person next to me who is in my foxhole with me. Well, I got to tell you, extend that a little further and you'll see why the Spartans trained their people to be homosexuals, because they're better fighters.

RUSH: (Laughing) They trained them to be. Victor Davis Hanson, where are you on this? He's a noted Greek scholar. The Spartans, of all of the things they did, we learn now they trained people to be homosexual. How do you train somebody to be homosexual? How do you train them? And then, nobody's fighting for their country. They're fighting for the guy they love in the foxhole (Laughing) that's sitting in there with them. Mike Gravel, one of the bottom tier candidates of the Democratic presidential primary.
