Here Is an Insight Into the Kind of Logic Some Dont Ask, Dont Tell Supporters Are Using

The Most Hilarious Piece You'll Ever Read About Gays in the Military
D.C. comedy site "The Daily Caller" has a hilarious piece today, extremely Swiftian and sophisticated in its humor and irony! It is by a former Tennessee District Attorney, named Joe Rehyansky. It goes like this: "I have never encountered my eminently sensible proposal, one that protects the patriotic urges of some Homosexuals as well as the national interest on the basis of 'force readiness' arguments which should govern the thinking of those charged with implementing t...

Don't hint, don't wink: An immodest proposal
Joseph A. Rehyansky is retired from the United States Army and the Chattanooga, Tennessee, District Attorney's Office. He is a former contributor to National Review whose writings have also appeared in Human Events Online, The American Spectator, and other publications. It’s been a long time since I was required to shower among 40 or so friends, acquaintances, and virtual strangers, or not do so at all — a socially unacceptable option.  Forty-two years after the fact, I no longe...

Do 'gay' passengers getopposite-sex pat downs?
Apparently, the Terrorist-detection procedures of the Obama Administration are derived from the age-old method used to tell if puppies are boys or girls. One just has to hold up the puppy in question and have a look. Or, as the method's equivalent works down at the Transportation Security Administration, one just pulls Granny out of the line and performs the Safe Skies Samba. If only there were some way for the TSA to tell Muslim terrorists who want to blow up a plane from Episcopalian grandm...

Hate Is A Family Value
The Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks such things, has designated the Family Research Council as a "Hate Group."The SPLC gave the Family Research Council the designation due to anti-gay Speech from its leaders, which the SPLC says includes calls for Gay men and Lesbians to be imprisoned. Labeling the Family Research Council a hate group puts one of Washington's Most Powerful Social Issues advocates into the company of groups like the Nation of Islam and the now mostly defunct Aryan Nati...

Family Research Council Labeled 'Hate Group' By SPLC Over Anti-Gay Rhetoric
The Family Research Council is perhaps the most prominent voice in conservative social politics and the hosts of an annual rite of passage for many Republicans who hope to run for president. And now, FRC is on the same Southern Poverty Law Center list of Hate Groups as the Ku Klux Klan. The SPLC gave the Family Research Council the designation due to anti-gay Speech from its leaders, which the SPLC says includes calls for Gay men and Lesbians to be imprisoned. Labeling the Family Research Cou...

Veterans write letter to Webb urging him to fight to keep Dont Ask, Dont Tell (Daily Caller)
Two retired service members are urging Virginia Democratic Senator and decorated Vietnam Veteran Jim Webb to help keep ”Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”  (DADT) in place as a Military policy. In a letter sent to Webb, retired Rear Admiral Michael R. Groothousen and former Navy Seal Scott Taylor make the case to Webb that as a “respected Democratic member of the Armed Services Committee” he should use his position to work to stop the Repeal of DADT during the lame du...

Lesbians are actually kinda hot and make good soldiers too
So sign ‘em up for Team America: World Police. There’s a lot to savor here: The time machine that takes you back to 1953; the just-so evolutionary biology; the characteristically creepy mixture of obsession with and attraction/repulsion toward the subject matter; the sexualization of the work place. It’s a heady brew, as Agent Van Alden might say. Update: I read this after The Daily Caller had removed the original final sentence, which per the Amanda Hess piece Scott links abo...

Fox News Rejects Ad On Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal (VIDEO)
WASHINGTON -- Fox News has rejected an advocacy group's ad on repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT), in which generals from around the world say that allowing Gay men and women to serve openly is no Big Deal.

DOJ Appeals Court Order To Reinstate Air Force Major Discharged Under DADT

A federal judge ruled in September that former Maj. Margaret Witt should be reinstated to the Air Force. Witt, a decorated reservist flight nurse, had been suspended from the Air Force in 2004, after 17 years of service, and eventually discharged in October 2007. She sued to be reinstated during her discharge proceedings in 2006. The Justice Dep...

DOJ appeals lesbian's reinstatement to Air Force
Seattle -- A Lesbian flight nurse discharged under "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" can rejoin the Air Force Reserve, even as the government appeals a judge's ruling that returned her to the job, her lawyers said Tuesday. U.S. District Judge Ronald Leighton ruled in September that former Maj. Margaret Witt must be reinstated because her dismissal advanced no legitimate Military goals and thus violated her Constitutional Rights. The Justice Department appealed that ruling to the 9th U.S. Cir...

Voter anger fuels support for Repeal Amendment (Daily Caller)
Rapidly growing support for the “Repeal Amendment” -  a proposed Constitutional Amendment that would allow a vote by two-thirds of the states to repeal an act of Congress —  symbolizes the intense level of anger Americans have with Washington, according to observers. In September, Virginia stood alone as the only state where leaders in the State Legislature had shown an interest in passing the amendment, but that number has now grown to nine states. State Legislators ...
