Has anyone checked into FreakRepublic about this Arizona situation?

[jpbollma]

So Romney's Arizona Co-Chair has just stepped down because the was threatening his illegal immigrant boyfriend with deportation. I can't bring myself to go to FP but I am sure the comments are delicious. Has anyone checked it out??

I understand that Russia, which also once had women on the front lines, has also rescinded that policy. We should learn from other nations’ experience.

Hmm, wonder how long it’ll take for them to cry “Sexual harrasment” when they’re expected to do their new job?

Nothing scarier than a woman with PMS holding a gun.
Like in this you tube video...” I don’t trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die!”

But in fact, the Israeli military does allow women in the vast majority of combat positions.
Israel at its inception had women in combat positions. But when they realized that the men tended to "look out for" the women, they decided it wasn't a good idea, so they stopped it. Israeli women currently serve in combat positions because of a high court decision -- whatever you call the Israeli Supreme Court, not a decision of the military, the government or the people.

Put the women in their own Amazon brigades. If you mix them with men, the men will complain that they are weighted down. The women will complain about sexism. If the Amazon brigades beat the enemy on the battlefield, the enemy home front will be demoralized and quit. If the Amazon brigade fails, oh well.

Not against women in the military at all in fact I proudly serve with some awesome ones. Seem unnecessary to allow this as our tool of a president wants to cut 78,000 active duty position just for starters in the next 3 years.

"I understand that Russia, which also once had women on the front lines, has also rescinded that policy."
Hmm, I don't think so. I was just reading this article...

Moscow, 22 June 2005 (RFE/RL) -- Kseniya Agarkova is not just a pretty Russian brunette. She can shoot rifles, assemble machine guns in a flash, and floor the fiercest attackers. Lieutenant Agarkova was also crowned Miss Russian Army 2005 yesterday in Moscow, outmatching 18 other long-legged beauties serving in Russia’s armed forces. “Beauties in Shoulder-Straps” is the second beauty pageant staged by the Russian Army as an attempt to boost its waning prestige and encourage young men and women to join its ranks.

Putting women in combat units is an incredibly dumb idea. While some women have done fine in recent days under fire, the whole question isn’t whether you can train some women to fight, it’s whether a combat unit benefits in proficiency by mixing women with the young men. The internal personal dynamics completely change and no amount of training, threats, or blandishments change hormones.

The whole purpose of combat units is killing people, period. Ignore the war movies, the comic books, the “analysts” who think warfare has changed. It hasn’t - if anything it’s more brutal than ever. We either maximize the efficiency of our combat units or we start learning to enjoy occupation.

That goes double for incorporating gays into the units. We are not a social experimentation venue, we are supposedly the lifeline for our independence and freedom.

2. And then, of course, there is this

How do I (we) counteract the success of this birth control wedge issue? (vanity)

Now that the left is successfully employing this wedge argument over insurance birth control mandates, what can we do on an individual basis to counteract it? I am suddenly seeing local boards and even my face book page being flooded with emotional posts by hysterical women who claim their uteruses (uteri?) are being attacked. They are being successfully distracted from the real issues and seem quite anxious to throw their vote away for red herrings. They have been tricked and I am trying to figure out the best way to dodge their emotional arguments and enlighten them. Some (most) of...

3. What a beautiful post. "Hysterical women" obviously need men to decide the important stuff.

[appleannie1]

5. But of course we need men to make our decisions. We are controlled by our hormones.

What I can't understand is how the Thug women can agree with their crap.

6. Yet it seems like a lot of us guys do our thinking with the little head.
