There you are Rox. Amusingly, I had this same discussion with Napo last night, despite the fact that I'm not talking about any right to privacy in the first place - as I explained, at length. Its a right to equal protection under law, clause of the 14th, which prohibits the actions taken, which many of us, from one side of our mouths..in this very thread have decried, while offering variants of that excusing refrain out of the other. The sort of duplicity we seem to find abhorrent in the cheaters case but for whatever reason ameliorative in our own or in the situation itself. In any case irrelevant, entirely, with regards to what I've been saying...as I keep saying....because people just keep saying it.......
This little group, because of it's perceived immorality, is not being offered the hearty and robust support we would offer some other, positively valued group. That shit is heinous...from an american perspective, even though these people might be complete dicks. Agreed? I think, personally, that it's far more important to stick to those sorts of guns when the people involved make it difficult.....it;s easy to defend grannies knitting sweaters, but it's not the best indicator of how well we live up to our promise, or how close to the people we want to be we actually are. This sort of thing, imo, is much better for that.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
