DADT Repeal Led to Prostitution Scandal

President Obama shouldn't be surprised that the Secret Service solicited prostitutes during a trip to Columbia, Tony Perkins says, because that's what happens when you repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy.

"You cannot maintain moral order if you are willing to allow a few things to slide," said Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, on his radio show.

The comments, caught by Right Wing Watch, came during a discussion about why Republicans should do more on "the homosexuality issue," as fellow commentator Janet Mefferd put it.

Perkins said the Secret Service scandal is merely a symptom of the "total breakdown" in morality of the larger Obama administration.

I guess we get credit for this also. Is there anything we can't do?

Man these morAns sure are on to us aren't they. I think if Obama had an all gay SS or women SS this never would have happened in the first place.

I mean I've seen some amazing shit posted that came out of the mouths of repukes...but that one is a real duzzy.

I think it matches the 'aspirin between the legs' by Doctor Quack (R). However after study it is even worser since it mixes a huge amount of fail together all in one batch for the reader to endlessly gag on. Doctor Quack (R) OTOH, was giving his medical opinion.

As a 40-some gay guy, if I thought about gay sex as much as Perkins does, I'd have no life to speak of. Let alone a "lifestyle." Let alone an "agenda." Let alone PIMPING HOOKERS FOR THE SECRET SERVICE IN SOUTH AMERICA.

Legalizing gay men and women in the armed forces caused heterosexual Secret Service members to hire Prostitutes in Colombia.

This is the kind of logic you have to buy to be a Republican.

Alex Blaze: "The kind of person who thinks that homosexuality is something that happens when you let your hair down and miss a few sermons is the kind of person who thinks that if he stops obsessing over how icky gays are he'll end up with a cock in his mouth."

"The Jewish Question"

Background: The book from which this section is taken was intended to provide a citizen’s handbook to the Third Reich, with many pictures illustrating the way Nazi Germany worked. This section presents the “Jewish Question” from a Nazi viewpoint. Citizens are told that Nazis measures against the Jews are reasonable and defensive — but there are also hints of what was to come.

Conservatives are scary anywhere in any time.

Good to know. Because if there's one thing straight men need assistance from the gay community with, it's wanting to sleep with women.
