CONGRESSIONAL CLOSET QUEENS

It seems we’re missing something in our national dialogue lately. I’ve noticed a trend and responded to an incident here on HP just today. Jillian Barclay wrote a piece entitled “Act Like A Lady? Just What Do You Mean, Congressman West?”. This outburst by Congressman Allen West shows some signs of transgender envy. He, like many of his colleagues in the GOP, seem to be showing ever so slightly their true colors. They seem to know more about being a woman than their female counterparts. They know what is best for a woman when it comes to their own bodies, they know abortions are bad for women. Maybe out of revenge or jealousy they are insisting to take away those services provided by Planned Parenthood and Medicaid that benefit only women, like pap tests and mammograms. They are women trapped in men’s bodies and they are exacting their revenge. I wrote this comment to the above mentioned article:

“Jillian, Maybe you missed the point here I think Mr West was attempting in his own fumbling way to come out of the closet! He obviously knows more on how to be a "lady" then the Congresswoman. I think that there are many GOP members that are trying to come out of the closet since they know better than most women that abortion is a sin also. The GOP makes it pretty clear that they are a bunch of raving Queens trying to be women and failing miserably. So don't be too hard on those dears, they're just trapped in mens bodys. Peter”

I believe our scorn is misdirected at the GOP, they are just trying to find themselves in this crazy mixed up world of ours. In 2006 the New York Times reported, “The presence of homosexuals, particularly gay men, in crucial staff positions has been an enduring if largely hidden staple of Republican life for decades,” this was in reference to GOP Rep. Mark Foley and the investigation into his homosexual activities on the Hill. On MSNBC’s Tucker Carlson show, Gay Activist Michael Rogers said, “the greatest kept secret for the GOP for the past six or seven years has been the extraordinary number of closeted men who have been helping to facilitate that anti-gay agenda.” Even "The Weeper Of The House" Mr. Boehner has shown an incredible amount of effeminate compassion as he slashes that Medicare budget. Weeping for all the old people that probably won't be around after that slashing.

As we can see there is a big closet up there on the Republican side of the aisle and it is just chock full of frustrated self deprecating Gay men trying desperately to prove their manhood. As of 2008 the top five GOP, ADMITTED “Homos” in Government were:

1. Mark Foley, U.S. Representative

2. Ted Haggard, Leader of the National Association of Evangelicals

3. Larry Craig, Senator

4. Bob Allen, Member of the Florida House of Representatives

5. Glenn Murphy Jr., National Chairman of the Young Republicans, Chairman of the Clark County Republican Party

I find it hard to reconcile the GOP (Gods Own Party) with their blatant homosexual escapades. This cruel and unusual self punishment may be their form of self flagellation, for their sins I guess.
