Can you believe California just reelected this woman?
CNS reports:
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) today likened the United States of America to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan because those nations also do not allow homosexuals in their militaries.
Boxer likened the U.S.A. to the Communist regime in North Korea, the Islamic regime in Iran and the Pakistani government at a press conference in which she called for repealing the ban on homosexuals in the military during the lameduck session of Congress, which is taking place now before the new members elected on Nov. 2 can arrive in Washington, D.C. and replace the members who are retiring or who were defeated.
This is so offensive for a United States Senator to compare this country to those awfully oppressive regimes.
The funniest part is that this is so clearly simply political because Democrats had the Senate, the House and the White House for the past two years. If they really wanted to change this policy they would’ve done so. But legislators aren’t going to stick their necks out on this, they’re simply going to wait for judges to forcibly overturn it and then they’ll be able to simply throw their hands up in the air claiming powerlessness. And Senator Boxer knows she’s safe in her seat for the next seven years so she can go back to badmouthing the country without worrying about joining the unemployment line.

I'm sure the Chinese and the Iranians are laughing themselves silly at this loony woman. They probably think we're all like here. Sigh.

Dear Ma'am, The reason that there are no gays in the military in Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan, is that they are all hanging on nooses in public squares!

It is because her son is Gay. She punishes the Boy Scouts for the same reason.
You should see the reply I got from her office on my son receiving his Eagle.

I'd be interested to see that. Do post if you can, please.

Welp, she should be deported to one of these countries for a good solid ten years. Then she can return to America and fall to her face kissing the ground and weeping with joy!

You're all idiots…

She's not badmouthing the USA, she's badmouthing the rediculous policy…. Which IS supported by oppressive nations like Iran, North Korea and Pakistan. How is that not fact? Whack-jobs, all of you….

I thought this site was about the joy of being a creative Christian, rejoicing in the joy of the Creator and the Creator. Instead I find a lot of bitter right-wing screeds about 'liberals.'
Christianity is not a wall for mean-spirited haters of progressive equality to hide behind. Show a bit of joy and a lot less bile,ok?
Now as far as the BS about the USA being a Christian nation, Almost all the Founding Fathers were nominal Anglicans but were really Deists and products of the Enlightenment. Deists believed that God created everything and then left things to run on their own.Jefferson for instance denied the divinity of Christ. Washington sometimes went to church but never received the Eucharist.
Most modern American 'Christians' are greedy, snarling materialists who vote Republican and hate gays. (or anyone different from them for that matter)
It is ironic that the secular humanist societies of Western Europe are much more Christian in practice that Our Great Land. The hungry are fed, the defenseless and the elderly are protected and everyone has health insurance.
And Christo-fascists consider this. Jesus and his disciples helped themselves to someone else's grain and He drove someone else's pigs off a cliff. No respect for private property! Such a Marxist! If Jesus showed up in today's America it would be the 'Christian' conservatives who would crucify Him, not the secular humanists.

I seriously cannot believe this whole site. It's awesome that people want to believe and promote their beliefs. But it's completely hypocritical that people on this site and the editors in general preach their beliefs but blatantly disregard others. You say you preach the word of Christ, but yet you disregard turning the other cheek? Talk about hypocrites.

We ARE like those other countries in the narrow way that silly Boxer describes. Our long-standing policy is to exclude homosexuals from our military, just as those other nations.
Where is the story here?

Interestingly enough, President Obama has expressed interest in a "Canadian-style" single payor healthcare policy.
What are the only other countries (besides Canada) on earth with such policies? Cuba and North Korea…

Let's pretend that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) didn't conduct a study that revealed 1 in 5 homosexuals in U.S. cities were infected with HIV.
That way the progressives can continue their communist inspired push for an end to the family unit.
Just another brick in the wall.
Smart thinking Babs.

If they put gays in the military, I want women in combat and coed dorms, bathrooms, and showers! if I'm going to have some "guy" getting horny as he looks at my butt, I want the same right with women. We won't be worth a crap as a fighting force but we'll certainly enjoy the "companionship"!

North Korea, Cuba and Canada aren't the only nations on Earth with single-payer healthcare systems. Where did you hear that?
Also, please cite a source for this CDC study that revealed 1 in 5 homosexuals in U.S. cities were infected with HIV.
