You knew the first one to get married would be a Navy guy.
At least you did if you had ever been in the Army.
Or had heard the Village People song.
At the stroke of midnight yesterday, it became OK to be queer in the military.
And across America, newscast after newscast carried the water of the gay-rights movement. We saw repeated pictures of clean-cut men kissing, and heard any number of past and present military homosexuals talking about their moral victory, and there were sound bites of various generals and secretaries testifying that this was the right thing to do.
Opposing voices were intimidated into silence, politics trumped policy, and a new day dawned.
The next step will be on-base family housing for gay couples, and chaplains performing gay weddings. Then there will be a law suit or two and a couple of congressional speeches and gay lovers will have military-dependent ID cards and will be shopping at the post exchange.
Then there will be sensitivity training seminars and Gay History Month commemorations and each of the services will compete to promote the first gay general or admiral. The American pulpit, long infiltrated by homosexuals, will produce a ready line of candidates for the chaplaincy, eager to have the big paycheck and the captive audience.
Dont get me wrong.
I dont have a problem with homosexuals in the military. I was in the military myself, and served with many homosexuals. Most were good soldiers, none were harassed or professionally jeopardized. Most were repeatedly protected by higher ups. Only one was inappropriate. Unfortunately, he was a drill sergeant who threw a pizza party for the drill-and-ceremony detail, complete with gay porn.
But I dont have a problem with gays in the military.
As long as they keep their orientation to themselves. Not that they need to keep their nature secret, but that they shouldnt wear it around like a chip on their shoulder. Human desire is universal, the specifics of human desire vary and are personal. Some guys like fat girls, some guys like girls with big boobs, and some guys like guys. Maybe common decency says nobody should be overly advertising their particular preferences.
But thats counter to how the gay agenda advances itself. The modern gay-rights movement is antagonistic and aggressive. It insists on being the center of attention, the defining issue in all situations. It demands not parity, but priority. It is an in-your-face assault on the sensitivities and values of others. If you share their views, you are enlightened. If you dont share their views, you are a bigot. Thats how it is in this politically correct society, and thats how it will be in the military.
Its not gays in the military that will cause problems, it will be the more-more-more demands of the gay-rights movement that will cause problems in the military.
Yesterday was just the beginning. The only official opinion allowed was joy and rejoicing at this advance for gay rights. The kissing pictures on the evening news proved that. All across America, families had to explain to children why two men were kissing and that was a victory for a gay-rights movement that is fundamentally hostile to traditional family values.
Which brings us to Dancing With The Stars.
I dont control the military, but I do control my TV. And this season, there will be no Dancing With The Stars in my home.
Why?
Chastity Bono.
Dont get me wrong. I have sympathy for her. Ive known of her since she was a little girl singing with her mom and dad on their TV show. And I can understand why she is screwed up.
But she is screwed up.
And her fat-tattooed-bearded-man act is not entertaining.
She is not a man, she is a disfigured woman.
And she is not an appropriate example for my children. Dancing With The Stars may say its a family show, but its clearly not my type of family show. Or a show for my type of family.
The Hollywood types can pretend she is a he, and in their crowd that may be normal.
But its not.
Its freakish.
Is that bigoted to say? Is it an unacceptable point of view?
Too bad.
Because this is a free country. Chastity Bono is free to call herself Chaz, and I am free to call her a fruit.
And I am free to watch or not watch whatever shows I choose for whatever reason I choose.
And if I choose not to watch some dancing show because its spotlighting a he-she, I dont think Im the only one.
Does that mean I hate Chastity Bono? No. Does it mean I disrespect her? No. It simply means Im free to have a point of view, too, and Im free to raise my children any way I choose.
And I choose not to submit them to a TV culture that actively propagandizes homosexuality.
Theyll get enough of that when they join the Navy.
Also, some tattooed fat chick who looks like a tattooed fat guy, dancing on television, is not good entertainment in my view.
Not without losing about 250lbs.
Chaz probably couldn’t do a single correct pull up.
She/it wouldn’t be able to perform acceptably.
“Dear Lord, when do we bottom out?” PING
By switching to a man, she instantly became 100lbs less overweight. 350lb woman = 225+ overweight 350lb man = 125+ overweight
“Not without losing about 250 lbs”.
I have actually wondered if the military won’t be making exceptions for overweight/out of shape people in the future. Is it “fair” that a fat person can’t be a Marine? /sarc (actually anything the military does now wouldn’t surprise me)
I’m glad I’ve retired from active duty. I wouldn’t want to be in the military and have to endure this new policy. Serving is a privilege, not a right.
"NOW CHAZ CAN BE A MARINE"She's really changed, hasn't she?
“...By switching to a man...”
She is STILL a FEMALE. No matter what was added or subtracted, there is no changing the basic X Y chromosone thingy. Just ain’t gonna happen.
Think about the guys who had to run through the streets of Mogudishu to the safety of the soccer stadium.
Yeah, good luck with that Chaz.
“Is chow allowed in the barracks, Private Bono?”
Back in the days of LaserDisk, Michael Nesmith (aka Mike from the Monkees) made a compilation disk called “Elephant Parts” that had a mixture of silly/stupid skits, and some very well done musical videos (he was one of the first music video pioneers).
Anyway, among the skits is a flaming gay man dressed as a Marine, doing the “One of the few, the proud ...” lines for a TV advert. It was funny then; however it’s now a part of reality.
“NOW CHAZ CAN BE A MARINE”
More like a target tow...
Just a detail here, but Chaz is not a male so she would have to enetr the Marines as a female.
Chaz, like most “transgenders” has not had surgery to alter her genitals. It’s just hormones and breast removal at this point.
I think in Chaz Bono you see a very mixed up person that takes homosexuality to an extreme and gets involved in serious self mutilation.
“I’m glad I’ve retired from active duty..”
Thank you for your service to Our Country, American Quilter!
she needs mental help.
She’s a woman who thinks she’s a man but likes I think women.
Then we have the likes of Megyn Kelly telling a shrink who is opposed to this mental sickness that he is a hater.
Now we have people thinking men dressing as women thinking they’re lesbians is normal.
I swear these people who think marriage can be anything or the way they like getting off sexually in unnatural ways are nothing but sick and need mental help.
They surely do not need to be told that it’s cute, that it’;s cool and normal.
“Chaz” would likely spend three months in what’s known as the Fat Farm before they’d even let her begin Boot Camp.
Pull up?
Hell, I doubt that he/she could do a PUSH UP..................
She still has tiny feet.
