The Ask And Tell Overture

So, as you might know, I'm a veteran. And I've written before about how I proudly served without giving handjobs, blowjobs or getting it up the butt.

I haven't been bothered that President Obama hadn't addressed the issue until his "State of The Union". I didn't feel "sold out". Yes, I believe that "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" is discriminatory and breeds contempt. But, I also believe that there has been a reason for his delay. There's been quite a bit for him and his administration to work on. And my hope is that it would be addressed in due-time. That AGAIN, people need to have patience. Change doesn't happen overnight.

So, while I believe that gays should be allowed to openly serve and receive all the benefits of their heterosexual counterparts, I haven't felt much sympathy for people who volunteered for the military FULLY KNOWING that the policy was "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". They signed on, then later didn't like it. Well, I'm sorry, you should've thought about that sooner.

This doesn't mean that I don't applaud their courage in standing up for what they believe in and for what is right. I do. And certainly, if we're paying attention, our awareness is an evolution. We shouldn't think the same way five, or ten years down the road.

Well, anyway, we're at the beginning of it being addressed, and that's a good thing. Overdue, yes. But, it's still being addressed: "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Gays Military Policy Under Fire

Top Uniformed Officer: Gay ban should be lifted

And besides, we're too pure to serve. (Hysterical - courtesy of "The Onion".)

If sovereign people who know nothing other than their freedom had ANY IDEA the insidious self-loathing that accompanies being in an oppressed sect of people, the lowest of the low on the totem pole, there wouldn't be a minute left of discrimination. It would have no place to hide.

Liberty WILL win.

*** If you'd like to tell your representative and senators to repeal this discriminatory law, you may do so here.

The McCain Women Step Up

First, it was his daughter, Meghan McCain that came out against Prop 8.

And now, it's his wife.

Cindy McCain comes out for gay marriage, poses for anti-Prop 8 ad

"Marriage equality is not just a Democrat or Republican issue, it is a human one."

- Meghan McCain

Dear Senator McCain,

If justice should prevail and gay marriage comes to pass, I don't want you to worry... okay? Don't worry, John... No dude I know would EVER want to marry you, no matter how much you might secretly wish it, even for the sake of soothing your ego.

But, if that makes you fret, I bet that fuck-face Glenn Beck would. Or that shit-mouth Rush Limbaugh. You guys could get together and have one big nasty old white man 69 fest. Tea-Bagging each other and pulling each other's hair (it would have to be your pubes) and spanking one another's nasty bottoms and EVERYTHANG!!

I think I just threw up in my mouth...

But, Cindy? Cindy McCain??

I'm impressed.

A 10 Year Old Badass And A CNN Dumbass

So, at some point, the talking head from CNN says, "In every state across the nation where it has been put to the voters it has gone down to defeat. So, the democratic process is taking place here. Seems to be something that voters at large, do not support."

Last year in California, over Prop 8, California voted it down 52% to 48%. And in the recent vote, Maine voted it down 53% to 47%. So, it's not "something that voters AT LARGE, do not support." Hardly, "at large", you fucking moron. It's actually rather close.

I wrote about voters verses courts deciding civil rights matters back in: The Seeing Eye Car; "Justice is blindfolded for a reason, to see without prejudice, without bias, to see objectively, without fear or favor, regardless of the identity, power, or weakness of the involved."

And actually, the "democratic process" is STILL taking place when a court makes a decision about something. Those judges are still appointed via a democratic process, whether we like it or not.

I'm so fucking tired of stupid people...

Wait a minute.

I don't want to make this all about stupid, uneducated, hillbillies that also happen to be getting paid as "journalists".

That young man (a.k.a. "Gaywad") up in that video clip is a TOTAL BADASS. And that's good enough for me.

"Great Grandma Got Blown Over By A Taser, While Being A Big Asshole Thursday Eve..."

This contribution comes to us from our dashing correspondent; Dickie in D.C. Thanks, Dickie!! How awful am I that I started giggling when she rolled into the ditch moaning, "OOOHHHH!! OOHHHHH!!"? Dickie, you know that's going to be "Tina" in 10 years. Hell, that's Tina NOW.

I don't think that she was "as tough as nails", I think she's an idiot and I would've tasered her ass a lot sooner. I don't give a fuck if she IS 72 years old. She's a 72 year old lying asshole that literally got what she asked for.

And being accountable for our actions???

Imagine...
