Ah! Conviction! The sort that W displayed, I guess?
One man's conviction is another man's near-religious blindness to alternatives, others' opinions, and those con-sarned facts. Conviction is what leads to waterboarding people in a quest to fabricate evidence tying Iraq to Al Qaida. I could do with a LOT less of that sort of "conviction".
Also: really? Gays in the military? I'd honestly be surprised if Obama had said anything about the "issue" at all. It's not 1992 anymore, chief. Obama's opinion on the proper springiness of buggy whips might be hard to track down too.
