A Gay Military? Yeah, Sure.

[img]1|left|||no_popup[/img] Debating a liberal, commonly, is the intellectual equivalent of a dyslexic midget spitting into a hurricane. A week after his funeral.

What is maddening about sitting down with most liberals I have known is that subtleties invariably elude them. If you don’t club a liberal on his reddened, bulbous nose with a baseball bat, he will ignore all but the painfully obvious.

Speaking slowly and volubly does not help.

It isn’t evidence that even the many serious liberals pursue, but, rather, what you feel in your heart, dude.

Who could have been surprised this morning when my nearest far-left newspaper, Pravda of the Pacific, the Los Angeles Times, bravely took one step forward and sang out those red, white and blue-bedecked words that send a chill down every liberal’s shaky spine, “We need a gay-friendly military.”

Read Closely and Memorize

Liberal tantrums to the contrary, gays have been welcome in the U.S. military from the beginning of record-keeping. Gays who behave themselves. Gays who can keep their hands and other body parts to themselves, as you and I do.

Let civility be your guide, a mantra that should be within the ken of decent liberals. You don’t need a teleprompter to cue you. Memorize it.

Civility often is anathema to most liberals and to all hardcore gays. They awaken every morning with a single mission: antagonize society. Nudge, nudge.

To what end?

Many liberals are plenty smart enough to out-strategize conservatives. But intellectual rigor consistently fails to rev their cerebral engines the way that crude bar-stool anger does. Yell louder, dude. These tactics, however, have made liberal talk radio a dismal failure, a tip that the left ignores at its peril.

Oh, lost brothers and sisters. To whom may we turn in time of turmoil? Strike up the band, Myrtle. Preceded by a phalanx of wallsize mirrors, here comes His Oneness. Lordy me, I do believe it is the Messiah himself.

Tone-deaf Swish Obama, in the midst of a rare personal losing streak and understandably desperate for a Congressional victory, no matter how insignificant, stooped to play the I Love Gays card last weekend.

Now I Can Be on Your Side

Whoring himself out once again for a cheap cheer, Swish the Disingenuous told a predictably friendly audience that it was time to end Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell in the military. Courageous dude that he is, when Swish was promising roses during his campaign, by golly, Murgatroyd, he somehow overlooked gays in the military as an issue to champion. Was it too sensitive and odious for someone trolling for votes, Swishy?

Since these are politically threadbare times for our visionless President, he pressed his Gay button the same way he pressed his Muslim button last year when he needed an artificial boost.

In the print world, pulling itself up to its full, chest-inflated height of about five feet this morning, the Times blew cough-provoking smoke all over the notion that gay boys and gay gals should be allowed to fight for our country if they wish.

Equal rights, harrumphed the Times in each ponderous but leaky paragraph.

This not only smells like a reasonable proposition, it is. Then doom struck. Subtleties entered the debate, a signal for the left to leave town. Getting too hot in here. Eschewing tactics less overt than a billy club, the boys down at the Times and their fellow left-wingers scattered like mice with mumps fleeing a trap when they needed to embrace a simple American principle:

If you behave yourself in my presence, you are welcome to remain in respectable company. If your hands or other body parts start taking field trips, you shall be banished.

That is the story of how gays found themselves disinvited.

Once more:

Overtly gay boys and gay gals have been unwelcome in the military because they can’t help themselves when they are overcome by a desire to recruit unsuspecting, or perhaps even susceptible, straight men and women.

Unless you are in a roomful of liberals, this behavior never is tolerable.

That, dear reader, is precisely why hardcore gays are unwelcome as guests in many realms of polite society, including the military.

For the third and final time:

Because they can’t stop hitting on prospective victims.

It should be so needless for sensible people, who have had their say, to be subjected still again to this puerile, dishonest accusation.

In every crowd, there is a sob sister who wails, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell is an unfair policy in the military because gays have to live a lie.”

Sob sister, you are propagating the lie.

A gay and I can walk this morning to the nearest recruiting station, sign up, and be given a reporting date. I will promise not to hit on girls I will encounter if my gay friend will pledge not to hit on me or any other target he tries to spook.

Then, perhaps, we can concentrating on winning wars against America’s enemies instead of American social antagonists.
