Principled position

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Marine General Peter Pace, recently expressed his principled opinion that homosexual behavior is immoral, just like adultery, and that this should not be condoned in the Military. His exact quote to a reporter from the Chicago Tribune was, "I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts. I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way." The context was a question about the Military's “Don't Ask, Don't Tell” policy concerning gays in the Military. The Uniform Code of Military Justice makes it a felony-as in malum in se, inherently wrong as the infamous crime against nature-as opposed to malum prohibitum, wrong merely because the law makes it wrong. This is the Natural Law, and it is a good thing.

The General is being rounded condemned in the media for his stand on virtue and good. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco) made the dimwitted remark: "We don't need moral judgment from the chairman of the Joint Chiefs." and Senator John Warned made the same mistake made by John Hosty, misquoting the General: "I respectfully but strongly disagree with the chairman's view that homosexuality is immoral." Notice the spin, the General said "homosexual acts", but the Senator says the General said "homosexuality."
