Klingenschmitt's Latest Lunacy

By Ed Brayton

Our old pal Gordon Klingenschmitt, defrocked chaplain and wingnut first class, is now using the promotion of a weapon the Pentagon itself says it doesn't want or need in order to stop that evil homosekshuls agenda. Balloon Juice reprints a PDF of an email that the arch-conservative magazine Human Events sent out on Gordo's behalf entitled "F-22 jet can shoot homosexual agenda down in flames."

When Sen. Leahy (D-VT) attached the pro-homosexual "Pedophile Protection Act" to the Defense Authorization Act, he imagined zero resistance from House Democrats, or from President Obama. He failed to realize, however, how the battle to fund the F-22 Raptor jet for our Air Force could shoot the homosexual agenda down in flames. We have one last chance to stop the "Hate Crimes" bill, by demanding the House Conferees stand firmly by their 389 to 22 vote to fully fund the F-22 fighters. If they do, President Obama has vowed to veto the entire bill, and kill the pro-homosexual "Hate Crimes" amendment with it.
