Gohmert: Gays Shouldn’t Serve In Military Because Massages

Posted by | October 22, 2014 18:19 | Filed under: News Behaving Badly Politics Top Stories


Texas Congressman Louie Gohmert said that in ancient Greece the gays were busy getting massages before going into battle and in today’s world that will make them ill-prepared for war.

“I’ve had people say, ‘Hey, you know, there’s nothing wrong with gays in the military. Look at the Greeks,'” he said. “Well, you know, they did have people come along who they loved that was the same sex and would give them massages before they went into battle. But you know what, it’s a different kind of fighting, it’s a different kind of war and if you’re sitting around getting massages all day ready to go into a big, planned battle, then you’re not going to last very long. It’s guerrilla fighting. You are going to be ultimately vulnerable to terrorism and if that’s what you start doing in the military like the Greeks did … as people have said, ‘Louie, you have got to understand, you don’t even know your history.’ Oh yes I do. I know exactly. It’s not a good idea.”

    Louie, Louie, you seem to spend a lot of time thinking about gays…

    Gohmert is so stupid even I am embarrassed for him.

    Gay people shouldn’t serve in the military for the same reason nobody else should either.

    And more, since they’re much more likely to be assaulted by their fellow soldiers.

    (R-Sparta) Gohmert for president until 2016~ Equal marriage Spartan warriors were one of the most efficient and strongest of the Leading Greek city states in its time. The Spartans were highly organised and their land based army was almost untouchable, both in its battle skills and itโ€™s mastery of warfare tactics and fighting. http://www.legendsandchronicles.com/ancient-warriors/spartan-warriors/

    The military should only be staffed by affluent white cis het male property owners.

    Let them die in their own stupid wars.

    Whatever one’s opinions about Israel might be, no one can argue that they know a thing or two about maintaining a world class military force.

    If gays in the military is good enough for the chosen people, it is certainly good enough for the Land of the Free.

    Israeli military one of the worldโ€™s most LGBT friendly, report says

    In the first index to rank countries by the inclusion of gay and lesbian service members, Israel breaks the top ten, far ahead of the United States.

      All NATO warriors are LGBT equal with the lone exception of Turkey.

        Turkey isn’t exactly a beacon of civil rights, for all that the Ottomans had highly developed culture.

      This country is far to cynical and ignorant for anything so sensible.

    He is a tad bit off. Most Greeks who engaged in same gender sodomy were married to women and the males they sodomized were younger than seventeen. The Greeks deemed males who submitted sexually to other males beyond the age of seventeen unfit for society and they were relegated to the fringe.
    After the Greeks were conquered, the practice was banned and violators were put to death.
    Some ascribe their defeat to their perverse liaisons.

    • arc99 October 22nd, 2014 at 19:00

      Gohmert is completely off. Always.

      • Pundit456 October 22nd, 2014 at 19:45

        You would be hard pressed to find a politician today who isn’t talking out of his or her rear-end 24/7. Seems it is getting harder and harder for voters to distinguish between reality and reality TV; they vote as if their vote is inconsequential.

        • arc99 October 22nd, 2014 at 19:52

          I would strongly disagree.

          Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont addresses very directly issues that are of concern to a lot of people. Regardless of whether you agree with Sen. Sanders’ positions on the issues, the difference between him and Gohmert is like the Pacific Ocean and the Gobi Desert.

          Yet people still vote him into office…
          There must be something in the water, (in his district) that makes people vote for him…;)

          “You would be hard pressed to find a (GOP TP) politician today who isn’t talking out of his or her rear-end 24/7”-True!

          That’s another reason so many (R) Candidates are indicted today in copying Pleaded guilty Fox News felon Dinesh D’Souza, et al.

      Gohmert outflanks you by his unanimous and repeated self inflicted sodomy, described by your fantasies as same gender females with toys looking at you hiding in the bushes like when Marcuth & Michele Bachmann were busted with binoculars.
