"You don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when you can get over 2000 calories of low grade fried beef plus sides for a dollar ninety-nine but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school."
True however I do think the phrasing of those are a bit off in compared to one another, as one is talking about open sexuality in a branch of Government in which sexuality should not play a part of life in that branch, while the others are not.

Probably with gratitude? I mean it is a bit of a stretch to say "I don't think people need to be open about about their sexuality in the military" to "I would dislike a soldier's actions just because he was gay".

I don't really hold much hope for a guy who can't even remember a list 3 items long. Man, I bet he has a hard time at the shops if he needs to get more than bread and eggs. I have very low expectations for him to be facing Obama next year, which is good, because the GOP needs a much better candidate than this clown if they want to beat Obama.
Very true which is why more than likely Romney will be the nominee.
