Thanks to my houseguest, Lord Mike, t'other night I watched three Democraptic Pestilential candidates discutirse on the television set. Notwithstanding my prior criticisms that they either don't say what they mean or don't mean anything particularly laudable(1), one thing really got under my skin and it's been itching me ever since:
All three did a quick-snap salute and wanked themselves to completion in response to the question: Will you preserve the statute by which Federal funds are denied to any college or university that bans U.S. military recruitment or ROTC programs? "Of course I will!" each one screamed in turn(2) while clumsily fingering him/herself, and then each mumbled some non-sequitur (or perhaps utter gibberish, but I'm giving them the benefit of much doubt) about how campus recruitment ensures that we send only our best and brightest to be blown to bits. And one of them said either that it helps to level the "poor-as-fodder" class imbalance in troop demographic you hear tell about, or that we might as well recruit on campuses now that they're letting the negras in; I couldn't quite tell which s/he meant.
Ok, I'm putting turds in their mouths; but I submit they left they big mouths open and inviting such deposits by not mentioning the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy(3), which was the reason the (get-the-fuck-out-of-my-sexual) Congress enacted the damn ROTC statute to begin with: students (and some administrations) at colleges and universities across the country were having protests and making noise about banning ROTC programs until the friggin' military grew a pair already and could stand showering with faggots and lezzies and queers(4) while still allowing for the occasional giraffe hunt. The University of Delaware, my employer at the time, made statements about how the dressed-up no-queers policy was every bit as incompatible as the old one with their own non-discrimination policy, to which several years before they had added "sexual orientation."(5) And so it came to pass that the Federal Government does what it always does when it doesn't get its way: it threatens to take its iddle red wagon and go home.
I know there's a "war" on (as it were, and I still maintain it were NOT) and the economy's dicey, stupid, and blah blah fucking blah. But the current regime has baked me a beautiful, 12-layer "get me the fuck out of this bozo country" cake; and the fact that not a single Democraptic candidate addressed DADT or any other gay issue(6) just added on another layer of salmon-and-avocado-mousse frosting.(7)
-----
(1) Hillary did manage to get in a few more gems of outrage than I'd previously heard from any of them about OCRAP's Abduction and Cruel Rape of Lucretia (and America was Lucretia)
(2) Although, as with so many other issues that night, they had a hard time articulating how they would enforce the policy more vigorously or with more je ne sais quoi than their rivals.
(3) A.k.a. Exhibit 1.1 in Hallway 1 of Bill Clinton's Museum of Shame, which resembles nothing so much as the closing pan-out shot of Raiders of the Lost Ark
(4) Oh my!
(5) Because, of course, they hate America and everything it stands for.
(6) Granted: no question touched explicitly thereupon, but they very nearly forgot to talk about anything OTHER THAN the military.
(7) To reiterate: yes, I hate America. Specifically, I hate what it's become(a), and I can't for a moment believe it will "unbecome" its current utter loathesomeness given 4 or 8 years of rule under somebody that may turn out to be slightly less overtly criminal and totalitarian and assholic.
