American Newstand

From The Atlantic (eviscerated twice below) to another once great (at least tolerable) institution, The New Republic. We kid (Because we hate!); we're entirely w/ New Repper Isaac Chotiner on this'n. And of course amused by what he mocks.

The Worst Argument You've Ever Read For Banning Openly Gay People From the Military

A tease:
Don't you remember the days when real men walked the earth? No? Well at least you can study ancient times. Bowman, unsurprisingly, has written a book called Honor: A History. (Do conservatives ever get tired of this stuff?) He also works for an outfit called The Ethics and Public Policy Center, which, according to its website, "was established in 1976 to clarify and reinforce the bond between the Judeo-Christian moral tradition and the public debate over domestic and foreign policy issues." 
In addition: Cineastes should investigate the TNR comments; the very first is a review of Alien Resurrection by real man typist Bowman. Spoiler Alert: Winona Ryder plays a "lesbian android." (Now he's spoiled it for us.)

There are sound reasons--unbigoted ones--for our policy on gays in the military.

The unbigoted reason is that gays aren't manly, huh?

From The Deep, Deep, Deeper Editor:

Actually he types that, although homosexuals may be manly, no one serious thinks they can be manly.

As far as we know, gay people kill just like "straight" people, so who's questioning their manliness?

P. S.: Can't have "violent criminals" in the military? What the hell? We don't want non-violent criminals "defending" us, do we?
