Hero worship one-sided

I have long been puzzled by the way this paper and others, and, as well, various branches of government have painted lesbian Margaret Witt as a hero. Was she a hero when she faithfully performed her duties as an Air Force nurse or did she only become one when she came out against “don’t ask, don’t tell”?

What about heterosexual Air Force nurses who, likewise, faithfully serve? Are they heroes or do they have to jump aboard the gay-lesbian bandwagon before they can be considered to be heroes? And what if they are married to a spouse of the opposite sex, and they cheat on them, divorce them, then remarry again to someone of the opposite sex? Are we then to look upon them as heroes?

No, not according to columnist Jamie Tobias Neely. These cheating two-timers would have to hook up with someone of the same sex before they could be considered heroes!

In regard to Washington’s same-sex marriage bill, Witt says, “It was extremely moving to hear so many senators speak from their heart in support of the bill.”

What of those who from the heart and with deep conviction solidly backed by Holy Scripture and, as well, the almost universally held morals of society at large for centuries, spoke against the same-sex marriage bill? According to the left-leaning views of this paper and its editorial staff, those legislators, and those of us with the same deeply held, sincere convictions are nothing more than stupid, intolerant bigots!
