There will be no jokes about smuggling allowed!*
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), under fire for allowing U.S.-purchased guns to flow to Mexican criminals, celebrated its first gay pride event on Wednesday.
The celebration at ATF’s Washington headquarters was intended to recognize the “accomplishments and contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans to ATF and the nation, and to promote awareness of the LGBT culture,†ATF said in a news release.
Did you know there were lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgendered Americans? Good thing ATF is here to tell us these kinds of things. I’m glad they could take time out from their busy schedule of putting heavy caliber weapons into the hands of Mexican criminals, used to shoot our own agents, along with stone-walling Congress.
“ATF works to ensure sexual orientation discrimination and prejudice are not tolerated in our workplace,” said Acting Director Kenneth Melson. “ATF is an equal employment opportunity environment where effective and equitable participation is encouraged.â€
They also work hard to make sure Americans are killed by their own guns by Mexican criminals in the “workplace.”
And, good news, Barney Frank was the keynote speaker!

*That joke was designed to tweak liberal noses, and was also suggested by a friend of mine who is a lesbian and an Obama supporter.
This is a widespread thing – There’s no doubt that these intra-agency “pushes” are coming straight from the White House.
Here’s CBP’s, and here’s NASA’s.
Consider the cost of advertising this “pride”. We are broke, yet these agencies can spend money on foolish junk like this. At least if they are selling guns to the bad guys, then we might be able to make money off that venture.
Obama is pulling out all the stops to try and get re-elected. This is nothing more than using our money for his campaign.
Our taxes hard at work destroying the foundations that have built and kept this country on solid ground for decades.
Indeed, nothing more than buying votes and pandering to those who really hates this country and all it stands for.
We are not perfect but I shudder to think of of world without the USA and all the good we have done. And before anyone jumps on me, yes this nation has some bad stuff in our history and I acknowledge this. Still, consider the rest of world and I would still rather be here.
If obuma gets another term then I just have to get violent and REALLY grumpy.
