Homosexuality is, and always has been a choice. It is not different from any other sin in that respect. All sin is equally black and evil in God's sight, but even in the Holy Bible, homosexuality gets special treatment in several places. In the Law Leviticus 18:22 says "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" In chapter 20 it demands capital punishment: 13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. and Romans Chapter 1 shows the downward spiral of sin that leads to this ultimate state of depravity: 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and...

Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines: active duty or post military, I salute you and love you.

I don't think you're ever really "ex-military", you're just active duty or post active duty. It something that doesn't get out of your blood, ever. My grandfather was a WW2 Navy vet, and the last time I saw him alive he still loved to tell me his...

I have for many, many years been a strong supporter of term limits. Never, ever allow politicians more than two terms in any office. That gives them enough time to accomplish their goals, but cuts short their power structure since all their supporters would know they won't be there forever. If they aren't getting the job done in the first term, nix them for the second and get someone else, and no matter what they do, get fresh blood every other election.

On top of that, they should all have to return to society with the exact same benefits and options as the rest of us to live under the laws they helped pass. No golden fleece retirement funds or health care packages, or any other perks. Let them collect their pay and...
