Well, the day that all of the rampant homophobes in America, both male and female, have been dreading has finally arrived - the US military has finally done away with the Clinton-era policy of "don't ask, don't tell" which prohibited openly homosexual people from serving in the United States armed forces. My opinion on this hasn't changed since the last time I posted on this topic, but for those of you who missed it the first time around, here it is: I see absolutely ZERO reason why homosexuals should be denied the honor and priviledge of serving their country based solely on their sexual preference. As much as I'm in favor of this, my support comes with two warnings: first, the homosexuals in the military who are celebrating this need to realize that there are still tons of folks out there who despise them simply because they are homosexual and who will beat the living crap out of them just for that reason, so they should be careful about where and how much they celebrate; and second, by reaching this milestone you have ceased to be "something special." You're just like everyone else now, so you'll neither deserve nor get any special attention or consideration simply because you're a homosexual. Welcome to Mainstream America.
So when the Great Pretender first started talking about his "new" program to create jobs, he minced no words about who would be to blame if Congress didn't approve his grand plan - he named the Republicans as being the ones to blame, saying that if the bill didn't pass it would be their fault. Well, now it appears that he's backing down on some of the provisions of this plan because of "pressure from the left," which means pressure from the Demoncratic members of congress - members of his own party. And he hasn't said one word in condemnation, instead remaining silent and slinking off into a corner to lick his wounds and come up with a "compromise" that will make his fellow Demoncrats happy. It simply amazes me that a man of his supposed intelligence - after all, he is a college graduate - can be so short-sighted, inept, and foolish as this. Every day this man is in office makes me all the more anxious for November 2012 when we kick his ass out of the White House and back to Illinois.
Now if only the Republicans or the Tea Party would come up with a viable candidate...
Guess this is gonna be short tonight, as I've been sitting here long enough without typing anything for my screen saver to come on...okay, I can take a hint. I need some more Diet Pepsi, anyway...
