US Embassy Iraq Gay Pride
So…
We can’t foster democracy in the Middle East but we can force respect for homosexuality onto them?
Something tells me that the second is going to be even less popular than the first.
Last Friday, 29 May, the US Embassy in Iraq held its first-ever gay pride party in Baghdad. The initiation to the event implored those attending to “dress in drag or as a gay icon.”
As always with the Left, results do not matter; only intentions do. President Intern will raise the tax burden on America, knowing full well that it will yield less tax revenue, because it is his intention to punish the successful and bolster his far-left credentials. Likewise here – results are secondary to his ability to say that he is promoting multiculturalism.
As if Arabs didn’t dislike us enough already. Is this the type of cultural sensitivity that Left-wingers always whine we lack? I don’t want to excuse the pervasive Middle Eastern prejudice against gay people, but doing something like this shows zero situational awareness.
It’d be like the Obama administration nominating someone who supports abortion as US ambassador to the Holy See.
[The pic has nothing to with the Baghdad party, as far as I know. But wouldn't you use it?]

You cannot be $@^#&%$! serious. What has this crap got to do with the serious business of diplomacy? Have these #@*&%! people lost their minds?
Where does this crap end? Trying to insinuate advocacy or appreciation of a homosexual lifestyle on a culture that frowns on this is borrowing trouble.
This has got to rank up there with — no, far exceed — the gift of the iPod, the Reset Button, and the other bimbles that this administration has done in it’s initial four months.
J-, I do not believe you’re old enough to remember the Carter years, but this clown’s administration is on its way to making one remember those years with uncharacteristic nostalgia..
..and that is no mean feat.
