Just Had to Look. (Don't click if you don't want to know what the morons are saying)
From 'elsewhere';


"I absolutely HATE this president and this administration! I know that is a strong word but I hate what they are doing to this country! AND I really, really HATE the press for allowing it to happen!"

Of course dearie! How dare Faux News allow actual information into your little bubble! Why, if the press were more responsible, they'd stop letting all these things happen by not reporting them!

"Deception came from the Department of Defense (DOD) poll presenting the fraudulent idea that the military supports homosexual behavior."

Oh, aren't YOU a gem! That's right, 'in favor of repealing DADT' = 'Supporting homosexual behavior'. So, like, if soldiers don't have to hide their orientation, that means that 24/7 gay orgies will break out on bases everywhere? Keep dreaming sugar-plum. You might want to hide that 'Stud Monthly' issue on the table before turning the webcam back on though.

"The LYING SOB in the White House and former secretary GAYtes did this to ous with a lame duck Congress. They leid and lied and lied about the subvject its impact and more. Its the sickest injustice as it will be used by gays as proof that they do nto have to PROVE inateness of CHOOSING TO BE GAY which is what most of them claim."

*Ouch*

So, you are poignantly aware that it's a choice, huh? Glad you 'chose' to be straight, you'd be very lonely on the other 'side'.

Oh, wait... sorry about that.

"It’ll be interesting to see how the first sexual harassment complaint against a homo is resolved."

Oh, careful there trigger! Too much fantasizing about taking out your fears and insecurities on others might result in priapism*. *Consult your doctor or refer to above poster's 'Stud Monthly' magazine*

"Now homo’s can have homo parties in base.
Men can wear dresses after work on base.
same sex can kiss and hold hands on base."


That's right! Because the repeal of DADT means that Codes of Conduct only apply to straight soldiers!

But we know what you're really saying here;

"Can I haz homo?"


Oh LORDY! They do http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2781211/posts">go on!

1. Yes, they certainly do go on...
And, it may be interesting to compare and contrast sexual harassment of heterosexuals.... It's been under-reported for too long.

2. Now that's a bright and shiny point.
Sexual harassment among heterosexuals in the military is an epidemic.

Here's a thought of mine just now; Much of that harassment is borne out of the 'hyper-masculine' military culture. Won't it be very interesting for the definition of 'masculine' to become deprived of its 'sexual predation' aspect after a year or so of perfectly 'masculine' specimens neither 'predating' nor acting 'uncivilized' (outside of theater)?

I'm very encouraged by the idea that it will be in the military that all the taboos will be dissolved.

I can just picture the otherwise homophobic soldiers having to face the fact that their CO is their CO, and then slowly it dawns on them that his/her orientation is irrelevant to their duties.

They will learn, just like anyone with a GLBT family member already knows, that they are perfectly normal but with one simple difference that amounts to nothing more disgusting than being a Yankees fan.

:evilgrin:

Ok, I'll admit... there is much less wrong with being gay than being a Yankees fan.

16. Loved the Yankee fan analogy :-^x
I'm encouraged, too. Maybe it's the obvious mirror to hold up to society.

In the military you are apparently called over and over as to the role each individual has, which cannot afford to be weakened, lest the mission cannot be carried out.

We waste making the essential connections between human beings to survive on this earth by wondering about sexual orientation.

My husband says, any day the Yankees loose a game is good. :-)

21. Yes, even though I'm not an MLB apostle,
I too find it entertaining when the most expensive team does lose.

I'm pretty sure that they are, being pro-athletes, 'loose' as well.

5. Yes, 'That Place' is populated by LOL Catz.
Read some Thoreau, or Jack Vance, or Twain. Those are very good at countering the effects. I should have mentioned as much in the OP.

Sorry.

4.  The commander in chief will not be criticized when there is a war going on
Anyone in the armed forces who has a problem with the new policy is welcome to look elsewhere for employment.

The only thing I want to hear from now on from the military establishment is "sir yes sir!" as the new policy is carried out. Cheerfully. And without any opposition or complaints---publicly or privately.

8. Everyone that says
that people choose to be gay is in reality saying that they really think that some day, they might wake up and decide to go out and suck a dick. If you 'choose' to be gay, that means you "choose" to be straight, so, you could change your mind at any time. Every one I know, gay or straight, has always known their sexual orientation, they didn't have to "choose".

10. I've exploded many a right-winger's skull by leading them through that logic.
"So you think that sexual preference is a choice we all make?"
"Yes."
"Then it is a choice you made?"
"Um... yes." (brows furrow)
"So at one time, you were faced with the option to either be gay or straight, and you CHOSE to be straight."
(silence as the dreaded implications begin to seep in)
"So whom did you once have gay feelings for?"

11. I know! WTF is with those stupid things?

How can people humiliate themselves and their vehicles so deliberately? Is the desperate need to make a statement about potency and prowess so overwhelming that people will so proudly put their immaturity on display? Hell, even juveniles making fart jokes exercise more class.

13. one of my BIL's
use to send me this crap all the time. His wife is such a nice person but even she is embarrassed by his behavior when it comes to his boiler plated broadcast emails. Lots of his crap comes from rimjob's hole, even more from the site which cannot even be mentioned here. Scary people all.

Posting any of his voluminous mails would cause most reasonable persons to run screaming from their monitors for a good stiff drink!

I use a filtering program to send his crap right on through to junk mail.

Here is a sample of his last mail.

* That people who earn more than $250,000 a year and only pay 1/3 of that in personal taxes is crippling our economy because they don't pay enough but a government subsidized private sector job that cost over $500,000 in taxpayer funding per job is the key to economic growth.

* Capitalism is bad because it leads to monopolies and that results in shoddy products and high prices but the union's monopoly on labor or socialism's monopoly on production is somehow exempt.

* A heterosexual man serving alongside females in the armed forces is a potential sexual harrasser/offender but gay men serving beside physically fit young hetersexual men will the cardinals of sexual self-restraint.

* Military training turns youn men into savage, soulless killers but gays and women need to be subjected to this same training out of fairness

* A woman who gets drunk and has sex has been assaulted because she was unable to properly consent but the man who was drunk and had sex with her is still criminally liable because he should have known better.

* Abortion clinics should have fewer health regulations than your average roadside taco stand.

* America is an oppressive, racist, imerpialist, exploitative hell hole...and we need to allow 20 million people to enter into it without checks or safeguards.

* Advocating the 10th Amendment of the US constitution is decidedly anti-American.

* Demanding the US withdraw from a nation where terrorists are trying to take control and use it as a base of operations against the US is patriotic but saying spending and taxation in the US is too high is treason.

* Every dollar of government spending nets $1.84 in economic activity even if it does nothing more than track the drinking habits of lesbian prostitutes in southeast Asian countries but spending a single dollar on the US military is a total waste of money with more bad effects than good.

* Joe Camel and Ronald McDonald entice children into unhealthy behaviors but primetime TV porn and condoms at school won't influence them beyond what they're already prone to do.

* Gun ownership leads to heinous acts of violence

* Death row inmates convicted of heinous acts of violence are victims of an unjust system

* Death row inmates deserve 20 years of trial, juries, discovery, evidentiary hearings, cross-examination, expert witnesses, character witenesses, representative council, judicial review, appeals, clemency hearings and advocacy but unborn children are not entitled to a 10 minute, non-invasive sonogram

* What America did the the native populations was horrible so we should give the country back to the hispanics.

* People who plan for their own self-sufficiency and independence are destroying this nation for the rest of us.

* Untold evils await those who smoke cigarettes while eating Happy Meals and the government must step in to protect people from themselves. San Francisco bath houses, on the other hand, are as sacrosanct as churches

* UPDATE: churches are no longer sacrosanct...they give people the wrong opinion of San Francisco bath houses

* Fewer priests would be tempted to molest their child parishioners if only the Catholic church would allow them to join teachers unions.

* That any person in America should be reduced to subsistence living off the land, in scrabbled-together living conditons is a blight of shame unless they're native, in which case it's actually kind of romantic.

* The singular problem with American education is that we only spend 5 times more money per student than all the other nations scoring higher than us.

* Conservatives are mind-numbed, easily-led sheep who are surprisingly resistant to the liberal reality-based community.

* Independent moderates voters were enlightened healers of America's racial divide in 2008 who will be seething, sublimated racists in 2012.

* We're only 20 trillion dollars away from defeating the hypothetical threat of global climate change.

* Christian belief in the absurd idea of a sky-friend is closing people's minds to the earth's screams that we stop raping her.

* Spending $3,700,000,000,000 annually on the federal government alone is a good deal for all the wonderful benefits and social services its provides to enrich and better our lives; you just don't know a good deal when you see one.

* Barack Obama knows what he's talking about.

* Michelle Obama is a snappy dresser.

* We need a fairness doctrine to make sure FOX news doesn't overpower the other 532 channels on your TV.

* Any and all ill-effects of indiscriminate sex can be resolved by ready access to birth control and abortion thus obviating the need for monogamous marriages

* Marriage is a moral fabrication of a repressive, capitalistic patriarchy

* America will lose its moral compass if 1% of the population is not allowed to legally marry.

* Corporations pay taxes, not consumers

* If you just give them total control over your education, health, economy, science, recreation, food, finances and society they swear to Gaia they'll get it right this time

* If an infinite number of liberals typing on an infinite number of keyboards for an infinite amount of time they might one day be able to come up with a coherent policy statement

18. For going to 'that site' and collecting those quotes?
I'm not sure how that translates to 'cowardice'.

If you had some kind of link perhaps...

""It’ll be interesting to see how the first sexual harassment complaint against a homo is resolved."



What the HELL makes any of them believe they're so damned attractive that someone will be powerless to resist their "charms" in the first place?
