Boxer, Citing Don't Ask Don't Tell, Compares U.S. to Iran, N. Korea and Pakistan
FOX ^

Sen. Barbara Boxer, no stranger to controversy, compared the United States to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan this week, saying America's Don't Ask Don't Tell policy puts it on a par with those three countries.

-excerpt-

California Rep. Duncan Hunter, a Republican who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, was stunned when he was told about Boxer's comments.

"Wow," he told FoxNews.com. "I can probably think of few people less qualified to comment on our military than Ms. Boxer."

He said Boxer's comments perform an "extreme disservice to our men and women" in the armed forces and "our military tradition, which I don't think Ms. Boxer understands."

I guess since women have the right to drive both here and in Iran, it makes us like them too, huh Babs?

You know, perhaps all military spending in the state of California, since it is so evil and discriminatory, should be cut off. Close every base there, every training facility, pull out any troops who may be stationed there. Let California build up its own military in its own image instead.

It just proves she doesn’t know what she’s talking about “Armanutjob” has clearly stated (at the UN) there are no gays in Iran, and in the rest of the muslim world. So how could she even begin to use this analogy for comparison? Just shows you she doesn’t pay attention.(/s)

I would think that the Obama administration’s TSAXXX sexual assault protocol would make us more like Iran or North Korea.

Does the TSA have a DADT policy too? Moreover, can an openly gay man work for TSA and fondle a guy’s junk?

Of course North Korea, as always, serves as a beacon for open minded humanism.

Somehow, I'm pretty sure the Korean People's Army isn't all worked up about a DADT repeal. (Do I really need to add a sarcasm tag?)

Maybe fliers should ask if the groper is gay?

Ma’am, sorry, Senator.......please remember the old saying about keeping your mouth shut and being only thought a fool or opening your mouth and removing all doubt.

To all

Well California had its chance to send their Senator Stupid home. They chose to keep her. California deserves whatever consequence occur from that decision. Though putting Moonbeam back in as governor was a worse mistake, since he was the on that opened the door for most of their present problems.

I shall make no comment relating to the insane, corrupt B!tch Box. The people of Ca knew who she is, and they still voted her to represent them. They deserve her, but of course, the country does not!

Hey! Not all Californians voted for her but she’s in the San Fran area (as is Pelosi) and between San Fran, LA and Sacramento the rest of us don’t have much of a chance try as we may.
