The Blowhards love this “war on terror.” Love their little flag-pins and yellow-ribbon bumper stickers. Love their little rah-rah rallies to support the President, where they stand behind him in rows, nodding along — yes, yes! — with every asinine statement.
Photogenic affairs, these rallies, closed to all but invitation-only Republicans, where the rows are strategically arranged to feature every shade of American and where our eye never fails to linger on the black man or woman and wonder what’s that all about! … but then black people must ask the same question about the Log Cabin Republicans.
Thing is so many of these 9/11 patriots are way too old to actually put their ass on the front line, where their mouth is. And of the ones that are of age, so many of of them are overweight wankers tapping out right-wing blogs or dreaming up “think-pieces” for neo-con house organs like The Weekly Standard to ever get any grit under their nails in an actual dustup. (And they call us effete! We who made terms like pig and pigpen sell-words for after-hours clubs and holiday weekends!)
Still, the army is desperate for soldiers. But as tough as it’s gotten for that handsome cadre of spruced-up, glamorboy recruiters to entice high school kids into a war that has lost national support, as much as the Pentagon gins down its physical and IQ requirements, and gins up its job training and education benefits, one thing is rock solid. No gays need apply. Not in this man’s army.
Even when the candidate has extra-special skills that this particular war particularly needs: Like the ability to read, write, speak and translate Arabic.
A clip, both funny and enraging, shown recently on The Daily Show, reported on this absurdity and — yes — the Daily Show crew made it bite:
LOL
Haha! Well it’s completely redicilous, I can imagine testosterone is an important thing to have sufficient of in the army, but gay guys don’t have much less than straight guys at all. I mean they even allow bitchy women into the army, what the fuck!?
It’s a pity the show isn’t on television over here.
So true, bigotry towards homosexuals is prominent here in America mostly due to two reasons, many straight guys find it “icky” and creationist where able to twist their religion around to support those and themselfs who feel icky about it.
I actually have no desire to intra-, whatever the hell the
word(?) he used, the good Doctors rectum. I just want to bitch-slap him continuously.
OMFG! Miss thang’s panties were all in a WET bunch!
I bet she thought she was finally gonna be KISSED!
And was sooooo plucked when she wasn’t! Dream on girl!
Erm, pardon my outburst… It was so TL*.
*TL=Tenderloin, a district in San Francisco, home to
many TV’s and TS’s and homosexuals in the last half of
the 20th century. The origin of a certain variation of
high camp queens english.
…This just proves how stupid the american government is…
You’d think that, in a modern day society, at least the government of a country, aka those people that are meant to have a brain and actually think to guide the nation, would stop being so damn retarded because of whatever motives they have and see a valuable member of society for what he or she is!
All I can say is that, when the time comes when they really need the gay population to step up and help them, I hope for their sake that they’re willing to help…The way a government discards it’s citizens like this is outrageous and I would hope the people of the US see this and use that knowledge either in politics, or when voting.
I’ll not even dignify this ludicrous view on gays with a longer and more proper response…
That article sounds like it was written by the gay version of Mike Stivic.
