Brody's Notes... Quoting FDR- Priest Calls End Of DADT "A Date That Will Live In Infamy"

A.Webster, USA (Ret)
By Brody Levesque | WASHINGTON D. C. -- A former Army Reserve Chaplain, Colonel Alexander Webster, writes in a guest opinion editorial in Stars & Stripes magazine Thursday that Tuesday's official end of the "Don't Ask-Don't Tell" policy should be known as "A date that will live in infamy."
Borrowing from President Franklin D. Roosevelt's speech to Congress after the sneak attack on the U. S. Pacific Fleet moored in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by the naval forces of Japan that signaled American entry into the second world war, Webster writes:
"On Sept. 20, 2011, a date that will live in infamy, the U.S. armed forces were deliberately and successfully attacked by advocates of the scourge of homosexuality. The elimination of the last vestige of moral restraint on sexual perversion in the U.S. military, commonly known as the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, ushers in a new Orwellian era in which the military leadership of our nation will proclaim the unnatural as natural, the unhealthy as healthy and the immoral as moral."
Webster has written numerous columns previously regarding the end of DADT in Stars & Stripes, the most recent column penned on Aug. 25, 2010- “Chaplains in no-win situation on ‘don’t ask’ ”- before the DADT policy was rescinded.
Webster said:
“A ‘nondiscrimination’ policy would surely mutate into approval and celebration of the ‘gay’ lifestyle, followed by ‘affirmative action’ recruitment of homosexuals, politically correct ideological indoctrination throughout the armed forces including family members, and, finally, active discrimination against — and persecution of — those who dare to express a dissenting opinion.”
The former army reserve colonel notes in his current piece:
"As an Orthodox priest who still loves all of the troops I served as a chaplain for a quarter of a century, I pray that God the Holy Trinity will preserve and protect the U.S. armed forces — especially in this new Dark Age."
Stars & Stripes listed Webster's biography as:
Father Alexander F.C. Webster, an archpriest in the Orthodox Church in America, retired in June 2010 as an Army Reserve chaplain at the rank of colonel after more than 24 years of military service. He is the author or co-author of four books on topics of social ethics, including “The Virtue of War: Reclaiming the Classic Christian Traditions East and West.”

Praise be to God that he is no longer serving in his capacity as Chaplin; this fellow is simply an asshole; nothing more and certainly nothing less; and especially a hypocrite.

I know nothing of his values or his belief in his faith; but, let me tell you I would be running as fast in the other direction as I could readily muster if he passed my way as I wouldn't want him ministering to my spiritual needs knowing his attitude to LGBT people (who may or may not have been his clients) when he can proclaim he "still loves all of the troops I served" in the same breath as he utters the other drivel in his "Guest" Editorial.

Go Warren! Tell us what you really think.

I wouldn't let him near my physical needs, let alone my spiritual ones.

And just in case you don't quite understand the REAL issue here, I've substituted a couple of words in this quote;
""On Sept. 20, 2011, a date that will live in infamy, the U.S. armed forces were deliberately and successfully attacked by advocates of the scourge of racial equality. The elimination of the last vestige of moral restraint on racial perversion in the U.S. military..."
