Mitt Romney owes Peter Pace an apology

Larry King lied to Mitt Romney concerning what Joint Chiefs chair Peter Pace said about Don't Ask, Don't Tell. The Left, of which he is a part, are liars. To be a liberal Democrat is to be a liar. None of that is news.

What is news is that a republican candidate for President accepted the word of Larry King, a member of all of the above mentioned Liars' clubs, concerning statements made by America's chief general leading our troops at war.

Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the following last week:

I believe homosexual acts between two individuals are immoral and that we should not condone immoral acts," Pace said in a wide-ranging discussion with Tribune editors and reporters in Chicago. "I do not believe the United States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to be immoral in any way.

"As an individual, I would not want [acceptance of gay behavior] to be our policy, just like I would not want it to be our policy that if we were to find out that so-and-so was sleeping with somebody else's wife, that we would just look the other way, which we do not. We prosecute that kind of immoral behavior," Pace said.

"

Pace spoke of "behavior" ONLY. He did not speak on any "-ality" as being a sin. He did not say that being tempted was a "sin."

He spoke of sexual "behavior" outside marriage as being sin, whether hetero- or homo-.

Liar King and star struck naive Mitt Romney? said the following subsequent to Pace's comments:

KING: The chief of staff of the American military said, the joint chiefs, said that he believes that being gay is -- I'm going to quote him exactly -- "is a sin" and that he's opposed to gays in the service.

Where are you?

M. ROMNEY: Well, you know, I think America is a compassionate nation and that we respect the right of other people to live their lives as they'd like to live them. I hope we can come together and be less divisive and bitter amongst our people. And so I'd like to show more tolerance and respect for others that live different lifestyles than we do.

So I think the choice of -- of words of the chief of staff were -- were inappropriate for -- for the public discourse. He can believe what he wants to. That's the great thing about America -- believe what you want.

But in a -- in a governmental setting, the right way to go is to show more of an outpouring of tolerance.

In my own view, I originally didn't think the don't ask, don't tell policy made a lot of sense. It seemed kind of silly to me.

But you know what?

It's worked. It's been in place now for over a decade. The military seems to be getting along pretty well with that rule. We're in the middle of a conflict right now. I wouldn't change it right now. Let's -- let's leave it the way it is.

Read the whole interview.

Mitt Romney allowed himself to be a tool of the Left to slander and smear an American hero. Is this man so naive?

Mitt has some explaining to do and an apology to make to the leader of our forces around the world that make it possible for Mitt and Larry to speak freely.

Mitt, will you apologize to Gen. Pace?

Notice I don't ask the Leftist Liar to apologize. I don't remember any true apology by a leftist (they only "regret getting caught or "mis-speak") and knowing them so well during my 15+ years in the Democratic Party, I wouldn't believe them anyway absent 10 years of demonstrated repentance.
