Dems push 'special envoy' to advocate for gay rights abroad
2014-06-15
To me, a person's sexuality is their own business. But with NASA tasked with "Muslim outreach" while we lack maned spaceflight capabilities shouldn't the State Department be more focused on the numerous foreign policy debacles exploding simultaneously around the world?

#9  Bawney can even reuse the Military phrase: "we never leave our men's behinds"

#8  I think Obean would make a good special envoy here. He can start in Kenya.

#6  Hehehe.... yeah the Islamists of the ME will *love* Barney Frank.

Iran might even have a crane with his name on it.

#5  And which walking corpse are they sending to the ME? My money's on Barney Frank. He's Jewish, so we can blame anything that goes wrong on Isreal!

#4  .shouldn't the State Department be more focused

It's the Palace Guard syndrome. Spiffy uniforms, parades, warm cot, and regular pay replace the ability to actually fight something other old men, women, and children. They do what they can do rather than what they're suppose to do because they suck at what they're suppose to do. [Not to be confused with the Brit's Royal Guard the exception to the case, who apply display the ability to get close and personal on the field of battle]. State has degenerated into a club of like minded academics. We'd at least gotten a better trade and deals with used car dealers than the crap they negotiate.

#2  If B.O.'s aim is to extinguish American exceptionalism then this whole thing starts making sense.

#1  On the one hand, "Muslim Outreach." On the other, this.

What the he-double hockeystick could be the end game for this? Or do their offices not speak?
