Family Research Council seems to spend a good 75% or more of its efforts denigrating gays. At present it is shrieking in hysteria about the possible demise of the failed DADT policy, so it's no surprise that FRC's homophobes have picked up on the fact that alleged Wikileaks source Bradley Manning is supposedly gay. As always, FRC's reasoning is ass backwards and motivated by religious bigotry and zealotry - and, most importantly, the desire to shake loose more money from the sheeple would listen to FRC's bile. Note how in the material below we gays are described as "unstable." Given FRC's contempt for non-Christians, I suspect that the evidence that the U.S. military has killed Afghan women and children means absolutely nothing in FRC's distorted world. I'd even venture that in FRC's eyes, these people weren't really human anyway since they were not white (FRC head, Tony Perkins has a history of working with white supremacist groups) and were not Kool-Aid drinking Christianists. That's what it means to be an FRC style Christian.*
As for Manning being a reason to exclude gays, the correct argument is just the opposite. If anger over DADT was - and there is still no proof that it was - a motivation for Manning's alleged release of documents, getting rid of the religious based and discriminatory policy would ensure no such motivations could exist in the future. All said, FRC's mantra is "America right or wrong" and blame the gays 24/7. As I have said before, war crimes are war crimes and where prosecution is really needed is against those who committed the atrocities and now want them hidden from view. Prosecuting Chimperator Bush would be a good starting point. One could even say that morally, Manning did the right thing (if he actually released the documents) to expose the lies and civilian deaths. Sometimes a patriot has to oppose the wrongs committed by their own government. Something the Uber-Christians at FRC do not grasp. Here's a sampling of FRC's hysteria:
*
For the last several months, his [President Obama's] vision of turning the military into a sexual playground was within grasp. I say "was," because a shocking story of treason may force Congress to rethink the wisdom of revoking the 1993 law against homosexuality in the military.
*
In May, when U.S. authorities arrested Army Private Bradley Manning for leaking classified information to WikiLeaks.org, there were whispers that he was politically motivated. It turns out that Manning is an extreme homosexual activist, whose fury over the services' homosexual policy may have led him to publicize highly classified documents about the wars.
*
Manning's sedition may have given opponents of the repeal all the ammunition they need to kill the idea. Obviously, the Pentagon's "relaxed enforcement" of DADT is putting the entire United States military is at risk of losing thousands of lives and the war. "The revelations of Manning's openly pro-homosexual conduct suggest that a more liberal Department of Defense policy, in deference to the wishes of the Commander-in-Chief, had already been in effect and has now backfired in a big way,"
*
Manning's betrayal painfully confirms what groups like FRC have argued all along: the instability of the homosexual lifestyle is a detriment to military readiness. By foisting this agenda on our soldiers, the White House is not only jeopardizing the future of national security but compromising its present.
*
Notice how FRC is utterly silent when it comes to condemning lies put out by military leaders and the murder of civilians. FRC is another reason not to call one's self Christian.
