The Audacity of Political Correctness

By definition, to be frank means to be:
1: marked by free, forthright, and sincere expression or explanation

By definition to be Barney Frank means to be: 1. absolutely none of the above.

Congressman Barney Frank made the news again this past week when it was revealed that he was present at his homosexual lover’s home when police arrived and arrested James Ready for cultivation and possession of marijuana as well as possession of drug paraphernalia. Mr. Ready was not suffering from the adverse side effects of chemotherapy nor does he have glaucoma so his apparent use of the drug was strictly recreational. Congressman Frank admitted he was “surprised and disappointed” by what police found at his intimate friend’s house, which included some sizable pot plants growing in the yard. He also claimed he had no idea his friend was using illegal drugs.

When asked by the local news media how he could claim to have no knowledge when the drugs were being cultivated and grown at the house Barney did what he always does when confronted with indisputable evidence, he went on the offensive and played on the blind faith stupidity of his constituents.

After chiding the inquiring reporter for questioning his sincerity Frank said he is “not a great outdoorsman” and “wouldn’t recognize most plants”.

Really Barney? Are you really expecting Americans to believe that an adult who has served in the United States Congress since 1981 doesn’t know what a pot plant looks like? Most second graders in this country could identify a pot plant.

But Barney Frank learned years ago with the Stephen Gobie incident that the key to defending yourself in situations where you are obviously guilty is to deny, deny, deny. And if the questioning persists, simply claim you are a victim of circumstance and a target because you are homosexual.

In the Gobie scandal Congressman Frank was found to have paid the male prostitute Gobie $80.00 for a sex act. I’m not sure what that act was, but it must have tickled Big Barney’s fancy as he then hired Gobie as an aide and paid him $20,000 in unreported income from his taxpayer supported congressional expense budget. He also gave Gobie use of his car and falsified statements written on his official congressional stationary to fix 33 parking tickets Gobie received using the congressman car. I can only imagine that whatever Gobie did for $80.00, he did a lot more of it for a tax free 20 grand and a free car. The coup de grace for the Gobie affair was when it was discovered that while serving as Frank’s aide Gobie was also running a male whorehouse out of the congressman’s home. Once again Congressman Frank denied all knowledge. I guess he’s not much of an indoorsman either.

The bottom line is that Barney Frank’s complete disregard for the law in associating with people growing drugs and operating a homosexual prostitution ring makes him somebody I wouldn’t want living on my street much less holding the chairmanship to the incredibly powerful House Financial Services Committee. This committee oversees the entire financial services industry, which includes the securities, insurance, banking, and housing industries. Remember it was through this committee that Fannie May and Freddie Mac were congressionally mandated to loan mortgage money to people who had no ability to pay it back, which in turn nearly collapsed the entire world's credit markets.

So how does a recidivist, licentious degenerate like Barney Frank stay in office and more importantly gain power? Through the unbridled use of the same political correctness that allowed a Muslim extremist to remain on post, walk into an Army Soldier Readiness Center and gun down 13 unarmed victims. When confronted Barney Frank will always claim to be a victim of discrimination by homophobes. No Democrat is willing to stand up and take action for fear of being accused of homophobic behavior just like no military officer was willing to risk being called intolerant of a Muslim.

If the people of the Massachusetts 4th Congressional District wish to have Barney Frank as their representative, so be it. But the rest of the country has a say in who controls the US House and Senate and therefore who sits in the chairmanships of this nation’s most important governing committees.

Political correctness will kill this country. Reality always wins.
