Brian Stuckey of Denver is an Idiot

And I hope he's the only Brian Stuckey so that this comes up in his Google results forevermore.

Here's his stupid letter to the New York Times:

To the Editor:

Re “Equality in the Military” (editorial, Feb. 3):

Your argument that “polls show that Americans broadly support repealing the law” that bars gays from openly serving in the military is hardly convincing. Even if the statistics are true, the moral conduct of America’s military forces should not be predicated on public polls. It is a matter of morality. And a nation’s morality is no stronger than the weakest link in the chain.

Your Jan. 29 editorial “Ending {lsquo}Don't Ask, Don't Tell’ ” spoke of the legislation as “the relic of a bygone era.” But morality is not confined to a particular era. If the laws of God proscribed specific kinds of immoral conduct in biblical times, there is little evidence to suggest that such laws do not apply today.

A repeal of the ban would be catastrophic for both the military and the nation — especially in a time of war.

Now, Brian, you get an A for composition, spelling, and grammar, but an F- for understanding that we're talking about the laws of A COUNTRY THAT IS A WESTERN INDUSTRIALIZED DEMOCRACY, not your conservative fundamentalist church. Seriously, dude, plus your rhetoric as our entire country only being as morally strong as its weakest member is pretty dismal, not to mention entirely unevidenced. Keep your morality inside your home and your church, mmkay?

And cheers to the wise, articulate souls that wrote the other four letters. Way to go.
