Bob Barr Beats Drums for Gays in the Military

The latest "celebrity endorser" in the PR campaign to repeal the law regarding homosexual conduct in the military is former Georgia congressman Bob Barr, who joined the Libertarian Party last year. In his June 13 article "Don't Ask, Who Cares?" Barr used the word "conservative" eight times. There is nothing "conservative" about a campaign to impose the homosexual agenda on the armed forces.

Capitulation on Gen. Pace-Cui Bono?

In yesterday's post, I speculated that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) is a big winner in the backroom scuttling of the career of Marine general Peter Pace, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Marty Meehan (D-MA), which would repeal the law banning homosexuals from the military. More...

PR Push for Gays in the Military

A high-profile public relations campaign keeps generating faux news events to promote repeal of the law banning homosexuals from the military. These stories frequently focus on former members of the military who were discharged when they announced that they were homosexual. More...
