Or should I lump y’all in with Fred Phelps cause you’re both conservative?

Sorry. Phelps is a Democrat. He’s yours, not ours.

That being said I must respond to Mike’s comment above. Let me preface my comment by disclosing that I am a proud veteran of the USMC (Officer, 12 years, including 2 combat tours). Yes Mike there certainly are hypocrites on the left who claim to be anti-war and anti-military while playing GI Joe at the bars and in their bedrooms. I personally know gay men who rant and rave against the military and war but who have military uniform fetishes. Unbelievably, one anti-war, anti-military screaming liberal I know actually has a Nazi SS uniform fetish. I call it “All Costume, No Show”. However, I have met MANY more gay conservatives (and conservatives in general) who SAY that they love the military, and who never met a war they didn’t like, who have never, will never and (most galling to me) WOULD never wear the uniform of the military they so love and certainly would never put their own asses on the line to fight the wars that give them such raging hard-ons.

On the one hand you have people who get turned on by a military uniform as “macho” drag while completely disrespecting the military and the Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen it represents. Worse yet, they ignore the huge sacrifices that countless men and women wearing that uniform have made to provide and protect the rights and freedoms that we all enjoy.

On the other hand you have people who truly seem to get turned on by war (ANY war). They get turned on by the military and by the THOUGHT of (as opposed to actual) military service. They wave their flags, they display their yellow ribbons, they conflate supporting a war with supporting the troops, they spend countless hours in front of their keyboards (from the comfort of their home of course) “fighting” bravely in the trenches to passionately defend/support/promote the latest war, regardless of its legitimacy, from any and all challenges from the pinko liberal commie hordes; yet somehow they never are convinced enough, or passionate enough, or moved enough, or invested enough, or concerned enough or sincere enough to put their asses where their words are. Oh, they ALWAYS have reasons and excuses as to why that is: they’re doing their part here at home; they’re too old; they’re in school; they’re a legislative aid to a pro-war legislator; they own a business; they have flat feet and asthma and so on, but I have a hunch that the truth of the matter is they’re full of hot air. They have strong feelings on lots of things but no convictions on anything. They have passions and principles that they think SOMEONE should be willing to die for, they just want it to be someone ELSE. But most of all I think they are afraid. They are pussies. Any one who’s ever served in combat knows who I’m talking about, the guy who’s a “Kill ‘em ALL, let God sort ‘em out” bad boy on the surface but a sniveling coward inside where it counts when it counts. Having met a number of these types who are actually IN the military I can’t help but believe that the ranks of the Fighting First Keyboard Infantry Brigade aren’t chocked full of them.

Military uniform drag queens annoy me. I never miss an opportunity to tell them so, but let’s face it, they are nothing more than a passing annoyance. On the other hand, cowards putting on Armchair Warrior drag shows from the safety and comfort of their keyboards really set my blood to boiling because there are real consequences to having lifelong civilian war monger cheerleaders that show up to rally ’round the flag every time they get a whiff of Napalm in the air.

Sorry for the overly long comment but frankly, as should be obvious, I get pissed off at civilian people on the left and the right of this issue. I guess this explains why I tend to piss people off on both the liberal and conservative blogs that I post on.

I just calls ‘em likes I sees ‘em.

Oh, and the Black Muslims and Black Panthers were two different groups. Or should I lump y’all in with Fred Phelps cause you’re both conservative?

HUH???

How the f**k does that square? I honestly believe that Disney World is based more on reality than liberalism.

Tell me again how the government can deny civil rights to gays in this country??

Thought so.

Which is often combined with a complete fetishization of those in uniform. I can no longer count the number of times some fellow homo has asked me about “all the sex in the barracks.”

That’s really my only comment; otherwise I second ILC’s comment at #1.
