I like this theme, and have written about it here before<\/a>, as has Justin Raimondo<\/a>. Simply: the world isn’t made more just for gay people by inclusiveness being extended to history’s largest murder organization. Lesbians don’t have an equal right to kill. It’s not progressive to include transsexuals in the American project to garrison the globe. And so on. To promote this theme, and to culture-jam in general, I made a page on Facebook entitled Don’t Repeal Don’t Ask Don’t Tell<\/a>, which includes a few links to sympathetic essays.

“In the fight for equality, gay people now claim the right to join in our government’s pointless, counterproductive, and expensive wars. This page is for those who think the equal right to kill isn’t something worth fighting for.”<\/p>\n

I invite those who agree to “Like<\/a>” the page, join in the discussion, and make this a more well-known position.
