This is a letter I wrote to General Peter Pace on March 20, 2007.
Dear General Pace:
In regard to your recent remarks on the subject of homosexuality,
I do not see any reason for you to regret what you said, in that you
have sworn to uphold The Constitution of these United States. Please
read below what I wrote a number of years ago entitled "Consider This".
Homosexuality is not normal behavior, and was classified as a
behavior disorder, not a mental illness. It is the taught or learned
behavior instilled in a susceptible mind. I learned this over fifty
years ago in Medical school at The University of Virginia. It has been
reinforced by my experience in my 35+ years in a full active General
Practice of Medicine. This view has since been distorted, and is not
as widely held now as the result of political appeasement.
Most Respectively.
Copy:
Dr Robert Gates
Secretary of Defense
CONSIDER THIS
"We, the People of the United States, in order to form a more
perfect Union, insure domestic Tranquillity, provide for the common Defense, promote the General Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves
and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this CONSTITUTION for the United
States of America"
Now a more perfect Union, that is with Justice, domestic tranquility,
an adequate Defense, and with the Blessings of Liberty is certainly what all of
us want to continue for ourselves and our Posterity. That last word POSTERITY is
one of the most important words in this Preamble to our Constitution. It means
all future and succeeding generations or our descendants.
CONSIDER THIS: If a person is truly what is defined as homosexual, he or she will
have no descendants or Posterity. Of course while this is quite obvious it has to be considered that if everyone shared what has been termed analternate life style our Country would have no future. Thus what they want is strictly for themselves,
and their vote and influence tends to be directed towards the "Now Generation"
concept with little concern for "our Posterity". Since they are now defined as "singles" by the tax law they do not want the "marriage penalty" corrected,
that is unless they can as they are promoting the idea of "same sex" marriages
into law. There is no Justice in passing special laws to promote and protect
homosexuality, and to do so disturbs the domestic Tranquility. I strongly believe
that to keep an adequate Defense requires that homosexuals not be in the military.
As to Liberty, homosexuals have the freedom to practice any lifestyle they choose,
and not to be persecuted for doing so, but to openly promote and teach this life style is basically unconstitutional, and perhaps somewhat treasonous in the role
of usurpers.For this reason I feel that they do not promote the general Welfare
of the country, and are certainly antagonistic to my Posterity.
