Peter Pace for president By Joseph Farah
Don't you like a thoughtful straight shooter?
Wouldn't it be nice to have as a choice for president in 2008 a seasoned military man who says what he believes?
Don't you just have to love the candor and honesty of Gen. Peter Pace, the retiring chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
I can tell you he shook up Washington last week when he repeated his view that homosexual acts are immoral, are "counter to God's law" and should not be condoned in the U.S. military.
"Bigot!" some spectators shouted at a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee, which, ostensibly, was considering the Pentagon's 2008 war spending request.
It all came up when Sem Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said he found Pace's previous remarks on the subject "very hurtful" and "very demoralizing" to homosexuals serving in the military. Harkin said he wanted to give Pace a chance to amend his remarks in light of his imminent retirement.
