Pentagon Can Spend On Gay Benefits But Can’t Afford To Refuel Air Craft Carrier

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


da Tagliare / Godfather Politics

Outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has been talking about a 22% reduction in the Pentagon budget.  Yet, as I reported yesterday, Panetta is also poised to extend a number of costly benefits to the unmarried partners of gay military personnel.  At a time when the rest of the military has to cut their budgets, Panetta wants to spend more money to reward the sinful lifestyles of homosexual members of the military.  But mind you, the same benefits are NOT being extended to the unmarried partners of heterosexual military personnel.

So how bad are the military budget cuts that will help to pay for those discriminatory benefits?

Part of that budget reduction involves the decrease in the number of military personnel serving our country.  Every branch of the armed forces is cutting back on their active duty rosters. The Marine Corp stands to lose 15,200 from its active and reserve ranks.  The Army and Army National Guard will be losing 67,100 soldiers while the Navy reduces its staff by 8,600 and the Air Force by 1,700 for a grand total of 82,600.  The plan is supposed to help reduce the Pentagon budget by $487 billion dollars over the next ten years.

      This ‘article’ is horribly offensive. All spouses of military personnel deserve the same benefits, regardless of the gender of their spouse. We need them as much as we need those that serve. Get over yourself!

        I’m afraid BiT is run by homophobic Bible-bashers. They think homosexuality is the ’cause’ of child molestation. Funnily enough, Jesus Christ said absolutely nothing about homosexuality, but the religious right keep wheeling out Leviticus to justify their fear of same-sex relationships. The best cure for homophobia is having a gay son or daughter. Hard to hate your own children.

          Leviticus is only one passage, lets not forget Romans, 1 Corinthians, 1 Timothy and of course Jude 1:7, all of which state that homosexuality is a sin. FBI stats prove that the majority of child molesters are either gay or were abused themselves as children by gays. Since Homosexuals only account for 4% of the population, there’s an awful lot of child molesters in that demographic. As for hating a gay child, that’s nonsense. You can no more hate a gay person than you can hate a child with cerebral palsy or downs syndrome. Homosexuals are born that way. It is a mental disorder that needs treated with love and kindness, not special preferences.

      sodom & gamorah were wiped off the face of the earth …homosexuality IS an abomination before THE LORD…REPENT AND RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR….REPENT …….REPENT
