Ok… this is how the Dems do things. Imagine what is going to happen next year when conservatives oppose this measure. The Democrats will claim that the Republicans are weak on national defense. They will claim that the Republicans care more about ideology then they do the troops in the field in places like Afghanistan and Iraq. The Lame-Stream Media will side with the Democrats. This is exactly how they handled the federal budget during the Reagan years: after shelving 7 out of 8 of Reagan’s budget proposals, then attaching pork barrel projects that Reagan was forced to veto, and then claiming Reagan cared more about ideology than the nation.
And according to Frank, he’s only doing what they always do. I agree, if by “they” he means lousy liberal Democrats who care more about ideology then they do the morale of our troops, i.e. our nation.
This article claims that Clinton’s “Don’t ask don’t tell” policy was a ban on gays serving openly in the military, which is completely wrong. There has ALWAYS been a ban on gays in the military because that particular mental disorder affects, dramatically and negatively, morale. The Clinton administration allowed gays to serve in the military – they just had to keep their disorder, or sickness, or “preference” to themselves. In other words, his policy was a first step towards removing the ban against people who suffer from this mental disorder. I served our nation in the U.S. Navy for 6 years. Nothing destroyed morale more than the escapades and flamboyant attitudes of the effeminate. We had to share berthing spaces, restrooms and work spaces with them and our only two concerns were: 1) that they kept their sick personal lives to themselves, and 2) that the military take every precaution to ensure that straight soldiers, sailors and marines don’t get infected by aids, which still affects, predominantly, gays. Of course, the only way to ensure #2 is to ban gays completely from the military. In a nutshell, the Clinton administration only helped to weaken the military in order to score brownie points among his pink constituents. Of course, since Clinton was a draft dodger it’s doubtful that he cares about weakening the military.
I was serving at the time that “Don’t ask, don’t tell” became official policy. Trust me when I say, the over whelming majority of military personnel were against this policy – and knew that it was just the first step – or rather, another incremental step in the overall process of liberalizing away our nation’s moral principles towards Socialism. And the gays that were serving? They were thrilled. They were jubilant…and for the same reason. And make no mistake about it, while no one was asking, they were all TELLING, vociferously. The Clinton policy would be more aptly named, “Don’t ask, don’t yell.”
And at a time when we should consider expanding the ban to include Muslims, why is Barney Frank so eager to get this passed next year? With the economy in the dire shape that it’s in; with REAL unemployment at 17.5%, higher even than at the outset of the Great Depression, our nation at war with jihadists inside and outside of our country, why is repealing “Don’t ask, don’t tell” so important? I think you’d have to be a completely witless moron not to see that Frank knows the Democrats are out next year, and he’s desperately doing anything he can to ram through the most destructively liberal legislation while he has the chance.

No News Is Good News
White House senior adviser David Axelrod kicked off the latest Democrat campaign strategy on October 18th by telling ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that the Fox News Channel is “not really a news station.” The sentiment was summarily repeated by numnerous White House officials from Chief of staff Rahm Emanuel to White House senior advisor Valerie Jarrett to (inhale) Assistant Deputy Secretary of Energy for Fossil Energy and my good friend, Christopher Smith.
As with most liberal, Democrat offensives, truth appears to be a casualty in this war of words.
Granted Fox News leans to the right, and heavily, but despite the accusations made by those on the left of Fox’s inaccuracies, Fox has been far more accurate than any other cable news network and mainstream news organizations like ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, NPR, Time Magazine, News Week, The New York Times, the Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, etc. The truth itself, it would appear, is part of some “vast right-wing conspiracy.”
The last time I checked, government scandal or the appearance of impropriety by government agencies and employees was news. Watergate was big time news. The pardoning of Richard Nixon, reported on viciously by those mainstream news organizations already listed, cost Gerald Ford the election in ’76. Yet these same “news” organizations sugar-coated the disaster that came to be known as the Carter Presidency. They left no stone unturned, even imaginary ones, when trying to pin Iran-Contra on Reagan. It was Reagan “shutting down the government” for vetoing the pork-laden Democrat budgets, and not the fiscal irresponsibility of the Tip O’Neal gang. George Bush senior was excoriated by the media for raising taxes while Bill Clinton was treated with the softest pair of kid gloves ever imagined. It wasn’t that he committed the felony crime of perjury that was important; it was that the “vast right-wing conspiracy” wanted to punish him for being on the receiving end of some extra-marital attention.
Is mass voter registration fraud by ACORN, a supposedly unbiased organization for which Barack Obama worked not news? Or the fact that ACORN representatives (in ALL locations tested) were willing to assist a supposed pimp and prostitute establish a residence to use as a brothel? Or that they were willing to help given that the prostitutes in this establishment were going to be 13 year old girls, and illegal immigrants? Or that these ACORN employees were also willing to help them commit tax fraud and keep them from getting caught? Or that ACORN was going to receive 8.3 Billion tax dollars from the Obama administration under the guise of “stimulus” spending? Is it not newsworthy to provide video-tape footage proving the racist beliefs of government employee Van Jones who was appointed by the President without Congressional approval? Or how about all the Obama administration officials who have been exposed as tax cheats who are now too numerous to mention?
And did I mention the government takeover of one industry after another? Healthcare “reform” that really is going to cost what conservatives and Fox News say it will? And that will contain provisions to fund abortions just as conservatives and Fox News said? And that will provide measures to extend healthcare to illegal immigrants just as conservatives, Fox News, and Joe Wilson said!?
In my book, all of this information, brought to light by Fox News and suppressed by all other “news” organizations, is not only news, it’s exactly what people want to know if and when it occurs. It’s why Fox news is beating the pants of all others; the viewers aren’t as stupid as the Obama administration seems to think we are. Liberals don’t like Fox News and Talk Radio because they ARE news organizations – and they are effective. If Fox News isn’t news, than the old adage is perfectly true: No news is good news!
