Lies! ALL LIES!

Fans of the "Austin Powers" movies remember the incomparable Mindy Sterling playing Frau Farbissina and her famous, or infamous if you prefer, line. And that line, originally delivered in jest, now also infamously fits Brig. Gen. Keith H. Kerr, the Poofter Royale.
As reported in the December 19, 2003 article Gay generals come out against military ban by Joe Crea at the "Washington Blade" the Brig. Gen. showed through his actions that he has been a liar for quite some time.

During his 43-year career in the United States Army, Brig. Gen. Keith H. Kerr said he worried regularly that someone would discover his sexual orientation.

Now for those who have never served in the military you may wonder why I've chosen "Lies! ALL LIES!" as the title of this piece. Those who have served in the past have probably started to connect the dots already.
You see, back "in the day" you had to answer some questions about your sexual proclivities and you were expected to answer them honestly, and honorably. The "honor" aspects of the officer corps, more so than the enlisted ranks, made answering these questions honestly even more important as any improprieties made the whole officer's corp look bad.
And here we have Kerr coming along and he's now making "honor", for which military officers are renowned, a joke. He lied to enlist in the military. He lied to his fellow officers by not disclosing his proclivities. He lied to himself by thinking that he could get away forever with his honor intact!
Well, Sir, you are no officer, have shown that you have no honor and are now a known LIAR! You placed your own career advancement above the reputation of the military and nation you served. You left yourself open to blackmail and endangered the information contained within your pea brain. It's no wonder you "had to be very cautious about my lifestyle"!
If it were known that you were a faggot (yes, I used the word of the day!) you would've been drummed out of the military in a heartbeat. And it wasn't because of what you were...IT WAS BECAUSE YOU LIED! You would never have been accepted into the military if you would've been truthful!
And how apropos, and with what poetic justice it is, that another known liar, Hillary!, would have Kerr working for her. He is richly deserving of the ignominy he's bringing upon his own head.

Beautifully said. The results of the next presidential election will be a representation of how many Americans are able to see through the pervasive deceit (an ability you have exhibited remarkably well, in this thread and elsewhere :) ... and their ability to extrapolate the moral/political/societal effect of a mountain of 'leadership' lies.

If they are unwilling, or unable, to do so, we'll not survive four more years of a Clinton presidency.

Our daughter attended a party a few years ago at which, during a game they were playing, she was asked the question, 'If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be?'

Her response was, 'I would make it impossible for anyone to lie.'

On the surface, I considered that a 'noble', if trivial, response. But, in the years that have followed, and during episodes such as the one that is the focus of this thread, I have come to realize just how transforming that would be. Take some time to consider the powerful ramifications that would result. (For one thing, unless the entitlement class, and illegal immigrants, eventually outnumber the rest of us, a leftist/socialist would never again be elected to national office.)
