Barbarians at the Gate

LC NY Bureau Chief Doug has tipped me off to this fascinating clip of Dr. Marcus "I'm not Cam on Modern Family" Bachmann explaining his views on homosexuality on the radio:



Homosexuals are barbarians who need to be disciplined?  I think I had that fever dream when I was 13. 

The anti-gay industry is led by people like Marcus Bachmann along with Bryan Fischer, Bryan Brown, Tony Toni Tone Perkins, Bill Donahue; the list goes on.  What a farce.

New Santorum for Pres Slogan Coming Soon

The Santorum for President campaign spread to New Hampshire today where he was asked by a student if he was aware that his campaign slogan, "Fighting to Make America America again," was actually borrowed from a "pro-union poem by the gay poet Langston Hughes."  Oops.  Santorum said: "No I had nothing to do with that. I didn't know that. And the folks who worked on that slogan for me didn't inform me that it came from that, if it in fact came from that."  

When asked shortly after what the slogan meant to him, he tried to pretend his slogan wasn't really a slogan:  "Well, I'm not too sure that's my campaign slogan, I think it's on a web site."

Don't worry Ricky.  Nobody who would vote for you has ever heard of Langston Hughes.

Every picture I see of Miss Graham reminds me of my 7th grade yearbook picture; a picture that will never see the light of day. 

Pentagon Study Finds Soldiers Don't Care About DA/DT Repeal

I could have told them this.  The massive Pentagon study of the impact of Don't Ask/Don't Tell on soldiers and their families is in and the overwhelming attitude of military members to openly gay servicemembers is a big whatever, dude. Basically, Barry Goldwater had it right decades ago when he said soldiers don't care if a colleague is straight as long as he can shoot straight. The commander of the U.S. Army Europe said concerns about DA/DT repeal were “exaggerated and not consistent with the reported experiences of many service members.” Defense Secretary Gates said that repeal “would not be the wrenching, traumatic change that many have feared and predicted.” According to the New York Times:


"The report also found that a majority — 69 percent — believed they had already worked with a gay man or woman, and of those the vast majority — 92 percent — reported that the unit’s ability to work together was very good, good or 'neither good nor poor.'”

Of course, John McCain reiterated his opposition to DA/DT repeal today.  Keep in mind that his excuses for opposition are ever-shifting along with his integrity.  His gal pal Lindsey Lohan Graham said yesterday the she was opposed to repeal despite the fact that it's glaringly obvious that Graham as queer as a 3-dollar bill.  What a farce.
