Don't Worry About The Economy ....

or the uprisings in the Middle East, or the environment, the cost of gasoline, or the presidential campaign. There is something far more insidious we have to fight:
The gays are getting married at military bases!

Wicker

United States senator, and GOP wingnut, Jim Inhofe doesn't care about unrest and wars and gas and stuff, he's still to fixated on the idea that gay men and women can serve openly in the military, and that :::gasp:::: they might actually get married on a military base.

Yesterday, in the midst of Romney batshittery and Chris Stevens murder, Inhofe and fellow Republican goose-stepper Roger Wicker have introduced a measure that would ban same-sex marriages on military bases and protect military chaplains from "pressure" to perform such ceremonies. 

Their bill, called the Military Religious Freedom Act, is really just an effort to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act [DOMA] after the repeal of DADT.

Inhofe

Inhofe, with apparently nothing better to do because everything else in the country and around the world is just dandy, said:

"President Obama and his administration are dismissing their responsibility to uphold the law of the land by unilaterally deeming DOMA unworthy of enforcement."

Now, let's get this queer: there is already in place a Defense Department directive that says: "A military chaplain may participate in or officiate any private ceremony, whether on or off a military installation." 

So, um, why the need for a bill? Well, some conservatives are complaining that, while military chaplains have the right to refuse to perform a same-sex wedding, some are being punished for their refusal. Yet they cannot name a single chaplain who was punished.
Yes, it's more GOP lies. And needless bills at a time when we need to get the country going again.

Jim Inhofe and Roger Wicker should be ashamed of themselves.
