Happy V-Day everyone. I know it is early…. but I’m spending the weekend off-line as much as possible and with PatriotPartner. We haven’t seen each other in a while, due to our travel schedules. And I leave for a week in Key West tomorrow for another business trip.
So enjoy your significant other today and tomorrow. GayPatriot, PatriotPartner and PatriotPooches wish you all a great and loving day. (Man… that was borderline puke-ville, huh? *grin*)

Isn’t this interesting… Osama’s cave buddy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, lashed out the United States in his latest statement on Friday and threw out all kinds of bigoted anti-American stereotypes he could think of to try to rally the elusive “Arab street” yet again.
Liberty as construed by the Americans was based on “usurious banks, giant companies, misleading media outlets and the destruction of others for material gain,” charged the voice in the recording aired by Arabic news channel Al-Jazeera.
Real freedom was “not the liberty of homosexual marriages and the abuse of women as a commodity to gain clients, win deals or attract tourists,” said the voice.
So not only is he sounding like both the American religious right and the Howard Dean crazy left, he also somehow defends women’s rights despite this historic support of al-Qaeda the Taliban-esque oppression of women.
These murderers are sounding desperate. But remind me again why the gay community’s mouthpieces always join in the anti-war protests? This missive is another wake up call — Islamists hate gays. America is at war with Islamists. Get your heads out of your ass, Gay Borg.

I’m soooooo tired of the “Jew Working for the Nazis” analogy. It is so 1980s. Here’s the first email from a retired US Air Force guy (or so he says).
Your organization makes about as much sense as Jews for Zyklon-B .. hope that you enjoy four more years of increasing persecution from those who think you are in league with the devil. The only Gay Patriots are those who were kicked out of the military after serving honorably .. Leonard Matlovich, Keith Meinhold, the female Lieutenant .. (I used to know their names because I thought that the Navy should devote more resources to exposing crooks than to outing gays)
He also closed his email with this in his signature: “Patriots vote Democratic” Yeh, they also coddle Communists and Islamic Fascists. That’s no patriot to me.
And here’s number two.
Wow, a fag who likes Bush. Now that’s a sad state of affairs. Get a clue, Bush is wrong for this country!
I shouldn’t have to tell a suburban queen to get his head out of his ass and wake up and smell the hypocrisy!Being a jewish fag myself, I find it scary how fags like yourself are embracing Bush.
Well even in Nazi Germany, some jews embraced Hitler thinking they would be immune from the bite- they were mistaken!
Sorry if I missed the memo from the Gay Borg… but are we allowed to call each other “fags”? I mean if Jerry Falwell or James Dobson used that word, there would be screaming queens in the streets of San Francisco up in sleeveless-shirted arms.
Oh… are we allowed to use the word “queen”?
Does anyone else see the irony in two gays who claim to be tolerant and embrace diversity using hate-filled speech against folks who have differing views on politics? And how does that advance the political discourse? Just asking.

Isn’t this interesting….
Fewer Gays Being Discharged Since 9/11 – Washington Post (you have to be registered to view *sigh*)
This explanation from gay rights organizations in the Post article is the predictable story line….
Pressed for personnel since the battle against terrorism began, the military needs to keep its numbers up and is not discharging gays as it once did.
And here is the quote from the Human Rights Campaign.
“These falling numbers point to an erratically enforced law that needs to go,” said HRC’s David Smith.
But I would suggest there is another factor. And I have to give the credit to PatriotPartner for this…
President Clinton faced pressure to look conservative on gay issues. So, he signed DOMA, and instituted Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. But he also had to enforce DADT. So it seems to be the “erratically enforced” law (signed by Clinton) may have only been enforced by Clinton. But how come HRC doesn’t give any credit for year-to-year declines in DADT discharges to President Bush? Because they aren’t the non-partisan gay rights group they claim, of course. They are the gay rights mouthpiece of the DNC/Howard Dean with their black tie upper class gay social dinners.
Perhaps, as I have said before, President Bush could give a rat’s ass whether or not a productive person in his Administration or the US Armed Forces is gay or straight. So maybe they just aren’t enforcing anymore.
Yes, I believe a part of it is because of the strain on the military. But it isn’t the answer entirely. True blue conservatives don’t care about people being gay. In fact, they probably want to ignore gay issues. They don’t want sexual politics shown on the evening news at all. So why be surprised that under President Bush, the military’s gay discharges have hit an all-time low?
No one really cares if you do your job to the best of your God-given abilities! Unless of course you are interested in special gay quotas. But who would want that? Maybe upper class, fundraising, money grubbing Washington gay insiders?

Very insightful posting from a straight, conservative, married guy. He has some valid points about gay unions, and some good reasons why the backlash has occurred.
Gay Unions – A Red Mind in a Blue State
I think two things really hurt the gay cause:
1) Outlandish behavior, such as the Halloween Gay Parades, just reinforces every bad notion, and defeats all attempts to cast gay couples as “normal” Americans, save for their partner’s gender; and
2) When we see a heterosexual couple, we see them as Dick and Lynn, individual adults who are a couple. We don’t think of them as a couple engaging in sex. Think about it– what if the first thing you thought of when you saw the Cheneys holding hands on a stage was their sexual activities? You’d gag. As you would with just about any couple, other than Jennifer Aniston & Brad Pitt. But when we see gay couples, we are immediately focused on their sexuality, like you would be drawn to the hair of someone wearing a giant orange Afro wig. And it freaks us out.

Because I seem to be misfiring today (see post below & comments), I’m glad I came upon this posting from last November 4. First, read the entire piece….. then let concede that the issue is more complex than perhaps I like to stress in my postings.
But also please understand that I believe the gay Republican/conservative voice is many times lost in the deafening cacophony (and you know I just wanted to use this word) of the gay liberal thought police’s talking points. So I hope that close readers of the blog know I realize I sometimes go out of my way to stress or exaggerate a point to highlight differences of opinion. It is just my style…
So with that all said, I completely agree with the closing part of Gryphmon’s post:
Anyway, the result of this has been that a true case for Gay Marriage was never made in a way that would resonate with the majority of Americans. It is for the most part a new idea. And the majority of Americans are still not even at the point where they consider us to be people, instead of just a behavior. And the Conservative echo chamber continues to reinforce this, while the Liberal echo chamber assumes that everyone is as open-minded as they supposedly are. Both sides are talking past each other.
There, now I’m done!

These postings, especially part two, from A Stitch In Haste, hit the “rush to marriage” and the “horror over FMA” crowd squarely between the eyes.
Do The Gay Marriage Math, Part One
Do The Gay Marriage Math, Part Two
Money quote:
It’s honestly getting to point where one might ask whether the “too much too soon” crowd suffers from some form of pathological self-loathing. Or perhaps they’re taking a page out of the radical feminist and black activist playbook — after all, it pays to be persecuted.
Bravo.
UPDATE: Clearly I must be having some reading comprehension problems today, as has been pointed out by the commenters on this posting! So I humbly accept the ‘Dope of the Week’ award. *grin*
That being said, let me outline clearly my views of gay marriage and its backlash. If A Stitch In Time agrees with any of it….. then, that’s what I meant to infer above! *laugh*

What on earth!?!
Ga. trans woman sentenced for ?pumping party? death
ALBANY, Ga. ? The death of a woman who suffered complications after a ?pumping party? in late 2003 led to last week?s sentencing of a Georgia transgendered woman to five years in prison, according to media reports. Myasha Thomas pleaded guilty to manslaughter charges in the woman?s death at such a party, an underground event in which people, often transgendered, pump industrial-grade silicone into each other to achieve more feminine figures, news outlets reported. Police said Thomas injected the victim, 23, in her face and chest with silicone on Dec. 10, 2003, in Albany, Ga., and the woman later fell into a coma, according to media reports. The victim, whose birth name was Andre Jeter, also was transgendered and died a month later, news outlets reported.
And this is the community that is trying to “mainstream” itself and convince America it can handle gay marriage!?! What kind of message does this send?

So I get home late last night from a long day of interviewing prospective job candidates for positions I’m trying to fill, and I flip on our local radio news channel on my drive home from Dulles Airport.
I was absolutely shocked to hear that the United States Senate (as in the one that sits in Washington, DC) actually passed Tort Reform legislation. I nearly ran off the road.
Here is Scrappleface’s take: Senate Curbs Class Actions, Lawyers Shop New Senate
The House has passed it many times, and it was Item #9 of the original GOP Contract with America back in 1994.
The Democrats and Bill Clinton had stopped passage in the Senate using the Democrat’s favorite tool — the filibuster. Yet when it came time to vote, 18 Democrats joined every Republican Senator in voting for it (two GOP Senators did not cast a vote).
So the question I have to ask is… how many of President Bush’s judicial appointments would pass with a similar wide margin if the Senate Democrats didn’t use the UNCONSTITUTIONAL filibuster against judicial nominees?
