Non-Zen Moment for the Weekend

Citing dozens of personal profiles of U.S. military on a neo-Nazi website, the Southern Poverty Law Center today urged Congress to investigate extremist infiltration into armed forces that may be inadvertently training domestic terrorists. Having raised the issue in vain for years, the SPLC added one zinger – the discharge of over 12,500 military personnel for their sexual preference.

"It seems quite anomalous that the Pentagon would consider homosexuals more of a threat to the good order of the military than neo-Nazis and other white supremacists who reject our Constitution's most cherished principles."
