Long and hard and full of seamen?
/popcorn this thread I'd say.

It's funny because seamen and semen are homophones

gustakooka: I guess no one wants to touch this....

Oh, I'm sure hat by the end of the day, there'll be about 400 comments. Mostly about how teh gheys is the DEBIL!

I don't ever expect a rational discussion about homosexuality in a Fark thread. But I'm always hopeful.

I thought joining the navy in the first place was the same as coming out of the closet.

Heh...you said homo.

Good thing he chose a California pastor who is a strong supporter of proposition 8 for his inauguration invocation.

I doubt he's really the first.

The annual Army Navy football game is in Baltimore some years, and *every* time its in town the gay clubs are crazy. Its so much fun. I wish I could go every year.

We can expect The Village People to see a bump in residuals if this happens, right?

My Cousin is in the Navy a year now and the gay jokes just don't stop, I thought everyone would get bored but they just keep going.
God bless you sailors;)

This centrist shiat is going to get him killed. First he elects someone to piss off the social conservatives, then he has a social conservative at his innauguration to appease them. Then he appoints this guy.

Fabulous.

Oops. You are right

♫ In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man ♫

Is that what we're calling it these days? I'm planning on getting my residuals bumped tonight.

PARTAY!!!!!!

I always knew you were homophonic.

AAARRRGGGHHH!!

Damn all you quick-witted FARKers that beat me to the punch!

OK, obligatory offensive joke about the Navy......

Q : Why does the Navy have Marines on every ship?
......
A : Because sheep would be too obvious.......

Mmmmm rum, sodomy and the lash....

So you talk through one and end up sounding FABULOUS on the other end?

I dunno, looking at this campaign contributions it looks like he was a PUMA. Gave to Clinton (lots of Democrats over the years, in fact) and then to McCain. I understand bringing in Clinton, but I'd be careful about arming her with too many PUMAs in high places.

FTFA:

Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, a nonprofit policy organization that opposes service by gays, said "he has done a lot of good for military families."

But she said his appointment would complicate the debate in Congress over gay men and women serving in the military, and whether a 1993 law prohibiting that should be repealed. She said having White named to the post "would make it more difficult for Congress to look at this issue rationally."

You mean, my dear, that it would make it more difficult for Congress to continue to look at this issue with bigotry. Rationality has VERY little to do with keeping gays out of the military.

Approves.

I'm so glad they're considering a guy who's got great experience running non profits and a museum.

Can somebody tell me his position on LCS? Sea Basing? For or against cutting down the 1000 program and building more 51s? How about the Sea Basing concept?

Christ, the way they talk about him in the article makes it sound like he'd be great for the VA. "He's done so much for veterans!" Yes, and that is what makes you qualified for the VA, not SECNAV.

Get ready for a Jan 20th mass exodus from the military!

The only thing gayer than this guy would be the Under Secretary of the Navy.

Do you like Sea Basing?

Heh.

Pirate sex?

Well, after the Warren thing, Obama really needs to throw the gay crowd a bone. The main thrust of the idea is to penetrate all the friction he is getting. He feels like he needs to show them his administration isn't going to cock-up their movement, and alleviate their gag reflex over his inauguration speaker. Obama's already in deep with them, because his attempt to reach around to all of the fundie groups left a bad taste in their mouths and really felt like it hit them all in the face. Bukkake.

The Navy. Where, on a submarine, 100 men go down, but 50 couples come up.

/And once again a lib dislikes what they read they lash out in an emotionally immature manner with personal attacks... keep proving my point!

I am certain that this will be a well thought out and mature discussion regarding gays and the military.

I came here to say something like this glad someone else did. SECNAV appointees need more than 'administrative skills'.

Not only unqualified for the job, but a gay quota hire. If Obama wants to be absolutely despised by military, this is a perfect way to start.

Fabulous.

It's funny that what you call "appeasement" I call bridge building.

I guess loaded words are the preferred caliber for narrow minds.

A pastor against gay marriage? The hell you say.

Naval Tradition is based on an album by The Pogues? You learn something new every day it seems.

I know, it's a lot better to surround yourself with drones who think exactly like you do so that people like you can biatch about how partisan and close-minded they think you are.
