A recent Newsweek article states that seventy-five percent of Americans favor the repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. This federal law requires Lesbians and Gays to be discharged from the military of it comes out that they aren’t straight. Yet fifty percent of those same people still don’t think Lesbians and Gays should be “allowed” to get married. The article goes on to give three “reasons” for the change of heart about Lesbians and Gays in the military. And while I understand what the author, Sarah Kliff, is saying, it’s straight out BULLSHIT!
The first reason is that discharging military experts because of their sexual preference is a National Security Risk. I remember when DADT was being drafted, some of the lame arguments for not allowing Lesbians and Gays in the military were that we weren’t “tough enough” or would try and “recruit or sexual attack and harass other soldiers.” DADT didn’t stop us from serving in the military. It stopped us from talking about our sexual orientation. So exactly how did DADT prevent that from occurring? It didn’t! That argument was another red herring in the lies told by bigots to prevent Lesbians and Gays from openly serving in the military.
The ironic thing about this issue is that many of the soldiers discharged because of DADT are people we can ill afford to lose at this time. They are Arabic linguists. And to bring even more light to this issue, an Out and Proud Gay Arabic linguist, Daniel Choi, was discharged from the military because of DADT. He was recently brought BACK INTO THE MILITARY and is waiting to be deployed because his skills are in demand, but few people have them.
The second reason for the changing opinions about DADT is because other Super Powers allow Lesbians and Gays to serve openly in the military. And have been doing so for DECADES! That alone proves that DADT was silly when it was created and that the “experiment” to see what would happen if Lesbians and Gays served in the military has been completed. The outcome? The decision to lift the ban on homosexuals had no impact on military performance, readiness, cohesion or ability to recruit or retain.” REALLY? Go figure!

Getting an invitation to the White House is a big deal. And the State House invitation is a once in a lifetime, if you are lucky, event. So to hear that two idiots were able to get into the White House WITHOUT BEING INVITED, should be a concern for anyone who is paying attention. Because there have been covert and overt threats against President Obama’s life. And for two people to be able to get by the Secret Service apparently with ease, should make everyone cringe. Because if someone could slip past all of that security and make it into the event is a scary thought. Was this a dry run for things to come?
There is a movement afoot where religious zealots are using Psalm 109:8 and 109:9, to call for the assassination of President Obama. This saying is being printed on Bumper Stickers, Hats, Shirts, Coffee Mugs, teddy bears, and mouse pads. For those of you who don’t know what these two verses say, here they are:
Psalm 109:8 states: May his days be few; may another take his place of leadership.
Psalm 109:9 states: May his children be fatherless

I could help but laugh my FAT ASS OFF when I read that former Miss california, carrie prejean, has decided to drop her lawsuit against the california Pageant because of the threat to release a sex tape in which prejean is the star! The tape is said to be so racy that people are SCARED to release it!
If you will recall, prejean announced at the Miss America pageant that she didn’t believe in Same Couple Marriage, even uttering the phrase, “not in her country.” With those words, she became the Republican AND the National Organization for Marriage, poster child. She was ferried around the country, first class, to dozens of speaking engagements where she was the “toast of the town.” Then there were some pictures of her in suggestive poses and with areas of her body barely covered. She said she was “tempted by the devil when she posed for those pictures.” Isn’t that convenient! Now with the release of the sex tape, I wonder what, or who, she is going to say “tempted her” this time?
I wonder if she is going to continue to be the “family values” spokesperson now that she has joined the ranks of Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, and Pam Anderson, among others, as people who have participated in sex tapes? I wonder if she is still going to be ferried around the country talking about “traditional marriage?” I wonder if her phone will even ring from anyone other than Playboy or Penthouse? From published reports, of the million dollars she was seeking from the Miss california pageant, she walked away with ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY, NOTHING! Not one damn cent!
To recap, she lost the miss california title, she sued the pageant, and then dropped the suit once the sex tape was about to be released. You almost want to feel sorry for her. But the DAMAGE she caused to the Gay community can’t be undone. And because of that, I feel that the creator is letting her know that she doesn’t decide what goes on in this “country.” Maybe she will have a little more compassion for the “others” now that she is one!
Your 15 minutes is up dear. GET LOST!!!
