The President is Made a Mistake but Let’s Hear it for Hagel

I have posted so many times against ex. Senator Chucky Hagel, ever since I heard he might be replacing Hillary in State and then when the chatter got clearer and Kerry was to be picked for State and Hagel for Defense.
 I was so disappointed because I remember Chuck during the Hormel confirmations in Congress as Ambassador to Sweden, I think (I'll check before I submit), but it was not  like ambassador to Russia, China or any of what we call hot spot around the world. The republicans in their infinite classical opposition to civil rights, women rights or gay rights or any rights for anybody, as long as they got themselves…no body else needs it!  They believe that everybody is got plenty of rights, for money, for health insurance, etc., as long as they got theirs. No body needs anything, we can’t afford it.

Needless to say they(GOP) went after Hormel, being that he had the moral fortitude to be an out gay man.  For all I know,  he might have been republican, even though I doubt it. But he could also have been a cousin of all the republicans in congress, still  they were going to oppose him on one issue alone. His sexuality.  So What’s wrong with Chuckie?  He is a republican and did what republicans do! That’s where I have the problem and most gay people too. He went for it, or I should say against it with gusto and dissing generalities and stupidities like,  Hormel "was too much of a happy homosexual.”to be an ambassador somewhere.
Someone try to explain that one,  but most people understand this meaning and what he was trying to say.
So, because he was a dissing speaking homophobe, he should not be in charge of the armed forces particularly now that we came off a 16 year fight in which a pro gay president allowed us to have DADT. We need a leader that can make important decisions without bias against our gay armed forces.

What ever number we had 16 yrs ago, we will have a lot more in the next four years now that there is no DADT.

I like this colors
Log Cabin? If I meet
one of those homo’s
I will punch him
with the hand and pen

 Having said all that about a man whose treatment of my people have left me fuming out of the ears and any other cavity I might have.  I also know that the republicans straight and gay are deadly against Chuckie.  I know some truths, one of them is “ the enemy of my enemy is my friend.” and "my friend who is a friend of my enemy is my enemy.”  In other words if all these repulsive republicans are against Chuckie and the man I voted for wants him.  I have no choice but to accept him, because that is the way the world runs, but more important a democracy runs (yes, I know we are not a full democracy but we are close) a democracy runs when we compromise on certain things that are not the core to our lives.

Happy Homos have colors too

I felt that after all the noise that this blog made hoping Mr. Obama would not go there, he went there. Now he is going to have a fight with the republicans in congress that is going to make everyone pissed just as everyone is supposed to get together on the budget again, health care and a bunch of things the president is going to need some republicans in the republican control house to give him some votes.
But he is the President and if that is one of the few mistakes he makes compare to Bushes Sr and Jr we still will be way ahead.
So Let’s hear it for Chuckie and let’s watch the show.
