Like most other gay folks, I was gratified the other night to hear President Obama announce at the State of the Union address his intention to put repealing Don't Ask, Don't Tell on the agenda for 2010. Of course we were all hyped when we heard it the first time, too. Back when he was pandering the rainbow coalition for votes during his campaign, pledging to be a "fierce advocate" for LGBT rights. To start working toward getting rid of DADT during his first year as president was part of that promise. Not that he has totally snubbed us, I guess, but tagging him a "fierce advocate" is probably a stretch . It's really little wonder that much of the queer community reacted approvingly, but also with a fair amount of skepticism, the other night after hearing him vow again to do what he vowed once before with nothing gotten done so far. This DADT thing, I wouldn't think, should be such a big ordeal to get over and done with in short order. Even military p...
Doug R,
ReplyDeleteI can't stand this woman! I think she's a big phony! One thing I have to say is, she makes me like Laura Bush. All republican woman who support a party that is anti-woman is despicable! Palin even wants to make it illegal for a rape victim to abort the rapist baby. That view is so sick and extreme. Can you imagine living with the fact that you were sexually assaulted, but also having the a baby of the attacker growing inside of you. This is what we're up against.
Yeah, but ... Alaska is the closest part of our continent to Russia. So it's not as if she doesn't understand stuff.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand either one of the bitches, really.
Rain, Dontchu get it???! "Closest to Russiaaaaaaaaaaaa?" ha
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of a couple of comments I meant to post...
The video where all the repubs couldn't think of anything to say about her? That young girl in the suit? Reminded me of the Miss Teen Usa hopeful...
"Such as.....um....well the people of Afganistan and, such as...well, they SHOULD have maps, therefore, and such as..."
And, been meaning to give my two cents on Cindy's speeck at the convention? OMG. Can we say bad acting? She tried so hard to put emotion and caring on her face. It was funny and scary...that she had to do so much "faking" (at least in my eyes) to show that she could "feel" things deeply. Did anyone else notice that?
Scary stuff...
I've said all along that Cindy creeps me out, too much Stepford. I will give her props for the humanitarian work she's done. But looking at the footage that was before the bleached blond days, I think the peroxide has taken its effect. And yes, Lumina, your comparison to the um, miss teen, um, people in the wherever is an excellent observation here. Incoherent, nonsensical babbling.
ReplyDeleteWell, since we will be going to war with Russia if the Republican ticket wins...too bad we can't let the polar bears attack them Reds. Oh, right, they are all drowning in Palin's well cared for state. Wait, are there polar bears in Alaska? It is close to Russia and I'm sure there are bears there. There's a video game in here somewhere...YESSSSSSSS they are all weird. Do u think they r freaky in bed?
