Scorn us now all gay apparel
Scorn us now all gay apparel
by Ed Naha | Jun 16 2007 - 10:47am


At the last Republican debate, moderator Wolf Blitzer asked the slices of white bread assembled on stage for a show of hands: Who would be in favor of openly gay soldiers serving in the U.S. military? Not one hand went up.

So much for compassionate conservatives.

What is it with conservative Republicans and gays? I suppose you could say their reaction is based on fear, ignorance, dat ol' time religion and their desperate attempts to keep their political careers intact. Whatever their reasoning, these gung-ho support the troops guys are actually hurting the military.

~snip~

Yet another similar plan would attract voracious rats. I'm assuming the enemy troops would be covered with garbage shipped in from Staten Island.

Another bomb would cause "severe and lasting halitosis." While that wouldn't exactly stop the enemy troops in their tracks, it would curtail their dating.

Probably the best from these brightest was the "Who? Me?" bomb developed, on and off, since 1945. Based on the old adage "He who smelt it, dealt it," it would simulate mass flatulence in the enemy ranks. (Operation: Whoopee Cushion.) The government put the kibosh on this one because "people in many areas of the world do not find fecal odor offensive, since they smell it on a regular basis." In short, this bomb wouldn't work in D.C.

2. Hmm
To my gay bretheren out there, it's obvious that there's no way you're going to sway these bigots morally, spiritually or intellectually. All you can do is make them seem more primitive than they already do themselves.

And they are very primitive indeed.

4. This "white bread" shit really needs to stop
They're white. You have a problem with that? Too bad.

Attack their policies and attitudes, not their skin color. Yes, that's what this - a crude attempt to use their skin color to characterize their politics.

It's racism, and it's bullshit, and our side needs to stop doing this.

5. This one's just precious....
"How absurd is all this? Professional homophobe Paul Cameron, on The Daily Show, told Jason Jones: "Guys don't want to think about other guys, other fellas, ogling them in the shower or whatever."

Pushing that train of logic further, Jones replied: "I know I'd rather die in a terrorist attack than suffer through an uncomfortable shower with a gay."

Not quite getting the sarcasm, Cameron replied: "Yes."

Excuse me while I allow my head to explode."


*** - How could he know until he compares the two???

:shrug:

:)
