Mayor Calls Gay Soldiers “Lacy-Drawered, Limp-Wristed”

Yuma, AZ Mayor Al Krieger spoke out against allowing homosexuals serve in the military during his Memorial Day speech a few weeks ago.  “I cannot believe that a bunch of lacy-drawered, limp-wristed people could do what those men have done in the past,” he said.  Mayor Krieger added to that statement in a follow-on interview, “we need solid, strong men, not pacifists, to fight those battles.”  Mayor Krieger is unapologetic; saying, “I’m reluctant to compare myself to George Washington or Abraham Lincoln, but I did get some feedback, and I don’t think I said anything different than what they would have said.”  The speech was not a prepared speech he said, but one from the heart.  Watch the video here.
