Boy, oh boy. Our nation is in a state of national insecurity and at war and guess what the Dems are thinking about? Trying to force the military to hire a bunch of fruitcakes! These people have almost no sense of decency or perception of any kind. Interestingly enough, even Jim Webb, though I dislike him intensely, opposes letting gays serve openly.

Mr. Webb does seem to be quite a jerk, at least from some of the FR articles about him posted--such as his rude behavior to President Bush when asked about his son (a soldier).

>>Trying to force the military to hire a bunch of fruitcakes!

They've already been hired. The agenda is to make it acceptable for them to come out of the closet and attempt to force the normalization of their behavior.

These are their doctrines:

Personally, I'd rather fight than become extinct.

>>Ackerman suggested the State Department could hire dozens of outed — and ousted — former military translators.<<

Its been a long time since I was involved in research where qualifications for security clearances came up... but 15-20 years ago it wasn't whether you were gay or had used drugs or had an affair - it was whether you were keeping it secret and thus it could be used against you.

Nobody could threaten Barney Frank with revealing his sexual orientation because he's open about it. But somebody working at state secretly being gay is a potential risk.

In the olden times if you disclosed a secret to to the people doing the background check then they might require you to tell you wife and your mother and employer (or whoever you were afraid to tell) as a condition of getting clearance.

I don't know whether the rules are the same now, but if they are it would make sense to fire someone who hid a big secret that made them vulnerable to blackmail

BTW, this is one problem with "Don't ask don't tell" - its a recipe for blackmail.

"For some reason, the military seems more afraid of gay people than they are against terrorists

I'm with them.

"They're very brave with the terrorists, and if the terrorists ever got ahold of this information, they get a platoon of lesbians to chase us out of Baghdad..."

Is the Congressman suggesting our troops show how brave they are with homosexuals by shooting them?

Another loon from the police state called New York City. No wonder both parties hold the New York delegations at arms' length.

No Hitlery/JulieAnnie in '08. They're bad for America.

Letting gays into the military would be a disaster! The dumbing down or morals and the changing of the meaning of "morals", has hurt the military enough! Abu Gar ab anyone?
