FINALLY Senate Confirms Eric Fanning as Army Secretary

Well after eight months of foolishness, Eric Fanning was finally confirmed as the Army secretary, making him the first openly gay leader of any U.S. military service.

The hold up came from Sen. Pat Roberts. He was all in a tizzy over several matters like the closing of Guantanamo Bay's prison, Cuba, and the transfer detainees to the U.S. Later he changed his mind and process moved forward. Congrats to Eric and may he serve with guts and style.

Mike Huckabee is Mad about Obama's pick for Army Secretary

President Obama nominated an out gay man as Army Secretary. If chosen, Eric Fanning will be the first gay man to hold this position.

We love idea, but guess who doesn't, Mike Huckabee. Continuing his silly anti-gay parade, Huckles said some stupid things about this nomination.

“It’s clear President Obama is more interested in appeasing America’s homosexuals than honoring America’s heroes. Veterans suicide is out-of-control and military readiness is dangerously low, yet Obama is so obsessed with pandering to liberal interest groups he’s nominated an openly gay civilian to run the Army. Homosexuality is not a job qualification. The U.S. military is designed to keep Americans safe and complete combat missions, not conduct social experiments.”

Huckles... You need to join the 21st century.
