With this insanity, Virginia Delegate "Sideshow Bob" Marshall (R-Manassas) morphs into "American Taliban" Bob.
Following this weekend's vote by the Senate to allow gays to openly serve in the military, Del. Bob Marshall (R-Prince WIlliam) said he is drafting a bill for the 2011 legislative session that would ban them from serving in the Virginia National Guard.
"This policy will weaken military recruitment and retention, and will increase pressure for a military draft,'' Marshall said. "After 232 years of prohibiting active, open homosexuals from enlisting in our military, President Obama and a majority in Congress are conducting a social experiment with our troops and our national security...In countries where religions and cultures find homosexual acts immoral, the Obama administration's repeal policy will work to the detriment of all American troops in securing local cooperation with our nation's foreign policy goals."
What does Pat Robertson's Manchurian Candidate Governor Bob "for Jobs" McDonnell have to say about this?
P.S. Also, I can't wait to hear from our sex-obsessed friend Dick Black. That should be entertaining. Oh, and where's Eugene Delgaudio, who wrote a few months ago about that thing I know we all fear most -- "Thousands of men in bright neon bikinis hanging all over each other." That, and spiders. Heh.
UPDATE: For more on "Sideshow Bob" - who very well may run for U.S. Senate in 2012 (if he can beat "Felix Macacawitz" by running to his right) - see his attempt to save us from evil cap-and-trade, his belief that disabled kids are god's punishment for abortion, his opinion that sometimes incest is voluntary, his comparison of health care reform to "Suicidal deficits, enemies lists, abortion, euthanize seniors, health care that kills capitalism," etc, etc.
