Now that Gay is Okay

In the last days of the 2010 Democratic-controlled Congress, one of the Dems’ final gifts to Dem-In-Chief Obama is legislation effectively ending the U.S. military’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy enacted during Bill Clinton’s presidency.  There are still a few kinks to work out, as approximately 8% to 15% of current military forces prefer to leave things as they are.  Honestly, I don’t know why current military forces aren’t more agreeable to share the inherent risk of combat with other Americans willing to share that risk.  After all, our country’s ability to repopulate and wage future wars is at risk if we don’t gather our current soldiers from every available resource. 

Since we’re going to allow gays to serve our country in combat, I can only hope that Congressman “Bailout Barney” Frank will be one of the first to enlist in serving our country on the front lines in Afghanistan.  He’s already managed to help implode the U.S. economy with his ill-advised protections of corrupt and incompetent management at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.  Let’s sic Barney on Al-Qaeda and see if he can make Osama Bin Laden surrender the same way he forced American taxpayers to surrender to the Barons of Wall Street.
