"Why can't they have gay people in the army? Personally, I think they are just afraid of a thousand guys with M16s going, "Who'd you call a faggot?"~ Jon Stewart"

I love that one! It reminds me of another joke I picked up some years back from a TV show featuring Canadian stand-up comic Sandra Shamus. She talked about how when you have a group of women living or working together for a long time, they all get their periods at the same time. So you go to a restaurant where the waitresses have been working together since 1959, and you go in on the wrong day, they'll all be grumpy.

"This (PMS) is the real reason the military doesn't want women in combat. Can you imagine 500 armed women all having PMS?"

Also originally posted by 1ENGELBYTHESEA:"The one bonus of not lifting the ban on gays in the military is that the next time the government mandates a draft, we can all declare we are homosexual instead of running off to Canada." ~ Lorne Bloch

About two years ago, I saw an editorial cartoon that said much the same thing. The first panel had a guy saying something about gays still being banned in the military. In the second panel, a guy in a suit walks into the Oval Office to tell George W. Bush "Mr. President, 150,00 soldiers just outed themselves."

Other quotations:

"If you don't vote, don't bitch." Steve Earle

"What we desire for ourselves, we wish for all." J.S. Woodsworth
Woodsworth was a Canadian Member of Parliament during the 1930s. He was one of those EVIL Canadian socialists. It's my favorite quotation in the world.

"I don't get the big fuss about gay marriage. The term 'gay lifestyle' tends to be associated with promiscuity. So if some gays are in committed enough relationships that they want to get married, don't f***ing complain!" offog
Yep, I made this one up myself.
