Over at This Modern World, Jonathan Schwarz takes a look<\/a> from James Holsinger over to another corner of the open sewer that is the Bush administration, from whence the Project For A New American Century came from.  Hold your nose, and hold on to your stomach…\n<\/p>\n

As you may have already seen, Dr. James Holsinger, Bush’s nominee for Surgeon General, is very concerned<\/a> about gay men and their “anal eroticism.”  Indeed, like most extremely manly men<\/a>, he spends a lot of time thinking about this. I’m guessing that, at least when he was younger, he thought about it four or five times a day.<\/p>\n

So everyone’s getting a good laugh about this. But Bush & co. work out their peculiar psycho-sexual obsessions in ways far more serious than this.<\/p>\n

Take Eliot Cohen<\/a>, for instance. Cohen wrote the Air Force’s study of the effects of air power during the Gulf War. Later he was a founding member of Project for a New American Century. And now he works for Condoleezza Rice in one of the State Department’s most prominent positions.<\/p>\n

And this is what Eliot Cohen wrote about bombing other countries in 1994<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Air power is an unusually seductive form of military strength, in part because, like modern courtship, it appears to offer gratification without commitment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Ha ha ha! Yes, killing thousands of people with high explosives is<\/em> sort of like sex out of wedlock! What a witty, apt comparison!<\/p>\n

These people are the world’s most genuine perverts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n

Yup.  That would be about right.  This is all of a piece.  A sickening, stench filled piece.  A movement so utterly willing to brutalize lovers is sick to it’s core.  Gratification.  Gratification.  Do you understand now why so much of the torture inflicted on people who were essentially prisoners of war at Abu Ghraib was sexual in nature?<\/p>\n

Lovers…and especially same sex lovers…when one of these jackasses calls you a pervert, laugh in their face.  You<\/em> are beautiful.  They<\/em> are the perverts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
