Good morning, everyone!
The Freeperati have been forced lately to deal with actual women (not the cardboard caricatures that they prefer, but real ones), and the results haven't been pretty.
For starters - it's Wimmens In Da Foxholes!
(not to be confused with pumas in da cravices)

Well. I guess our days of “boots on the ground” are pretty much gone.
It's probably going to surprise you, but women combat troops are going to be wearing boots. They did a trial run with stillettos, but it didn't work out.
Women in the front lines is stupid — we’ve decided we aren’t going to fight anymore.

It was over when they allowed gays in. It’s no coincidence that the man responsible for the greatest military security breach in US history, Bradley Manning, is gay. Talk to any shrink and they will tell you flat out
gay men have a bitchiness to them that straight men do not,
which to me makes them absolutely not qualified to serve in the military. And what was the result of that bitchiness? Flat out treason. And how did the Obama cabal respond after the arrest of Manning? By immediately overturning DADT.
The FIENDS!! I guess pardoning Manning would have been a bit much...
Just another example that if it hurts the USA homophobic morons like me, liberals immediately want more of it.

“It was over when they allowed gays in”
You’re right, because a fag is but a man that thinks he’s a woman.
And you is but a grade-school drop-out that thinks he's a man.
How many fags wants want any part of combat. How many NORMAL women want any part of combat? I was in combat, and I damn sure never wanted to be there.
Welll then, you just answered your own questions, didn't you?
There is a reason why women are called the weaker sex. Let muslim soldiers show the US why. Hell, they are tired of raping men anyway, might as well have the real thing. Obama, first with the fudgepackers, now with the bull dykes, is absolutely destroying the military.

I am betting she thinks this is a bad plan but I haven’t asked her. I suggest for your sanity you avoid threads like this. The sexism, macho crap, and outright disrespect for women (mascaraing as chivalry) is all mixed up with the sensible realism. What is left is mostly a cesspool.
Spouses Club Relents, Says Lesbian Army Wife Can Be 'Full Member' [Conservative America In Retreat?]

Spouses Club Relents, Says Lesbian Army Wife Can Be 'Full Member'

By Bill Briggs
Hours after same-sex Army wife Ashley Broadway was named Fort Bragg's 2013 “spouse of the year,” the on-base spouses club — that has for two months rebuffed Broadway's bid to join — fully reversed course and invited her "to become a full member," according to emails sent to NBC News and Broadway.
The decision comes one week after the Association of Bragg Officers' Spouses (ABOS) extended Broadway — who is married to Army Lt. Col. Heather Mack — a "special guest membership," an invitation she declined and called "extremely demeaning." Advertise | AdChoices
"After further reviewing the (club's) constitution, by-laws and internal procedures, the ABOS Board felt that in order to immediately support all military Officer spouses who are eligible for ABOS membership a more inclusive definition of spouse was needed. Therefore, any Spouse of an active duty commissioned or warrant Officer with a valid marriage certificate from any state or district in the United States is eligible for ABOS membership," the club's board said in a statement.
"ABOS does not discriminate based on race, gender, religion, national origin, age, disability, creed, or sexual orientation. ABOS would like to publicly invite Ms. Broadway to apply for full membership to ABOS. It is and always has been our mission to support all military families."

What Happened to Our Country? Townhall.com ^ | January 21, 2013 | Bruce BialoskyPosted on Monday, January 21, 2013 10:08:40 AM by Kaslin
When people reminisce about what America used to be like, some act scornfully toward us. They say living in a Donna Reed world was great for a few, but that there were many suffering souls. The way our country is today makes some of us long for those days which seemed so innocent compared to the harsh, cruel, coarse, and sometimes murderous days we exist in today.
Yet most would argue that there were still injustices when we were growing up fifty years ago. Black people who had been freed a century before were still not treated equally in most parts of the country. Many women were limited in their businesses, political, and professional opportunities. And if they did enter any of those careers, they were capped as to what they could achieve. Few would want a return to those aspects of days past. Yet they would seem almost welcome compared to the experiences we have had in Newtown, Aurora and Tucson.
Even though now more than a month has passed, the pain of what happened in Sandy Hook Elementary school stills burns deeply in our hearts. There were some who started assigning blame for what happened within days which was clearly indecent during a national mourning period. Yes, we need to find paths to resolve the deep divisions that trouble this country. But will that really take us back to a simpler time? After all, the residents of Newtown likely lived there to avoid all this cultural degradation and live a “Leave It to Beaver” life where the biggest challenges were errant children chewing gum in class.
A yearning exists for the days when children rode their bikes to schools, which were open with flowing green fields where they frolicked under minimal supervision. Now children are escorted by grownups to their schools, which are fenced in and then locked down. Remember even at Sandy Hook the school was locked down at 9:30 each morning, just as almost all elementary schools are today.
What does it say to the children of our country that they have to be escorted everywhere they go? Are they left to think that wherever they go there are people in uniforms providing security and their parents are on a constant vigil watching them? What kind of country have we passed to them?
That we cannot as the grownups in this society come to some agreement of how to resolve this only makes matters worse. With every single massacre, we instantaneously divide into two camps. There are those who immediately shriek that it was the gun at fault, completely ignoring the other societal factors that brought a deranged madman to execute an unfathomable act. Then there are those who argue that there exists nothing that we can do to keep the means of mass murder out of the hands of these freaks.
Come on folks, we can do something about this, but the suggestion by Wayne LaPierre of the NRA to put armed guards on all campuses seems so distasteful. Already an estimated third of our children go to schools that have armed guards. We should not unreasonably restrict our Second Amendment rights because of these maniacs, but putting our kids on lock down would just make matters so much more obscene.
(snippage)You may wonder why so many people bemoan our current culture and hark back to happier times. Maybe it is not as bucolic as we paint it, but our children certainly lived a more innocent existence. What our goal should be is to bring all children to those wonderful times instead of bringing every child down to the lowest common denominator. The innocence of childhood can never be devalued. It can only be lost. Let’s not have the innocence of another group of youngsters lost like we have at Sandy Hook. Let’s show some leadership.
..To: KaslinWhat happened to our country?
Easy..
The propagation of the humanist/materialist/socialist agenda by the government school collectives, the Marxist saturated university system, and the communist infested entertainment business.
To: Kaslin
We turned our backs on the God of the Bible and kicked Him out of schools.
Then we legalized and encouraged the murder of Gods children in mothers womb.
To: RoosterRedux
I seriously doubt that a black person would be treated unfairly “in the world of Donna Reed”.
Seriously, the 50’s middle class Western Culture society would be the absolute best circumstances for anyone of any skin color to live in.
The deal would be, though, that you’d have to behave within the expectations of that culture in order to thrive.

1) "Bradley Manning, is gay. Talk to any shrink and they will tell you flat out"
Uh, according to the APA's code of ethics, it is unethical to diagnose someone wihtout having a face to face.
I REALY love how the freeper types always seem to be able to resort to an unnamed but unassailable authority that is impossible to actually verify (by corallary, they themselves couldn't actually get these "facts" so they are making them up.). Kind of goes along with the idea that they are overly dependent on an authoritarian type of regime.
Of course, I am avoiding the question on homosexuality as a psychiatric disorder (and that it was dropped from the DSM long ago although adjustement is still a diagnosis).
2) Good mention on the blacks in the days of Ozzie and Harriet.
My folks spent their teens in the depression (and my father was in a mill town that was bad enough that it was a focus of a national expose on conditions in mill towns). I find it interesting that their nostalgia included Spanky and the Gang and a carefree life.
The best I can come up with involves that Spanky was their entertainment as well as presenting a carefree escape from the actual depression. Not to mention that the gang ran wild - today they would be arrested on the spot.
Likewise in the theme song for "All in the Family" is the line "Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again." (from memory). Hoover presided over the economic plummet to the Great Depression. Plus he left the ruins for the next administration to take the blame for and to clean up. Not exactly someone that I can see waxing nostalgic for.

Thanks, Tommy, for the interposition of the Civil Rights photos with MrB's ahistorical nonsense. The last one particularly kicks ass.

Random thought: If all women who want to serve in combat are lesbian, does that mean that all men who want to serve in combat are gay?
Which explains why you don't live in South Freepistan. I'm sure Tommy has a photo of that George W. "Miss me yet?" billboard.

"I'm sure Tommy has a photo of that George W. "Miss me yet?" billboard."
I do indeed.
I made a Demotivational poster of it that says "NO - fuck off and die" in the bottom caption.

I was expecting some variant of "I'll show her MY full member" as a response to the lesbian spouse article.
Not sure if I'm disappointed that I'm not psychic or glad that no one made the comment.
I suspect it might be too clever and intellectual for anyone to have thought up.
