Congratulations to gays, lesbians and their supporters for overturning the heinous “don’t ask, don’t tell” law that hunted down and persecuted people — who were willing to fight and die for their country — just because of who they were. Thousands of soldiers were kicked out of the U.S. military and billions of taxpayer dollars were wasted because of the irrational fears of petty bigots.
You did this all on your own; you didn’t back down and you held the politicians who made promises to you to follow through. Note to President Barack Obama: This is what real victory looks like. No compromises and no giving in.
Strangely enough, “don’t ask, don’t tell” was a “compromise” written by Republicans and conservative Democrats that continued an old military policy of discrimination that shamefully allowed then-President Bill Clinton to claim victory and dodge his promise to the gay and lesbian community.
Any bets that in two years “don’t ask, don’t tell” supporter Sen. John McCain will be giving a speech saying, “I told you so”? Any bets that in two years the conservative corporate press will be covering the story that the military didn’t fall apart and that the supporters of “don’t ask, don’t tell” were absolutely wrong?
I can hear the silence now.
but what about "showers" ????????? soap on a rope?
The tone of the letter shows how dramatic, hysterical and hormonal gays are. Maybe the Waves would be a place they all could serve.
I bet the gays were all mad when they found out what the Enola Gay was and not a person!!!
President Obama has locked up the Gay vote. It is said that there are roughly 10 percent of the people in this country are gay. There are 308 million people in this country. That makes 30 million Gays. There is also 12 percent African-American. That makes 36 million of them. 36 million and 30 million make 66 million African-American and Gay Americans combined. Now you take all the sympathizers of both elements and you probably have another 10 percent which is another 30 million. So, we have anywhere from 90 to 100 million voters that will surely vote vote that law professor/community organizer back into office in 2012. I think that we will see an effort from the White House to enact a third term for that gentleman.
Who is the uninformed person that never heard of soap on a rope and the peace of mind that it ensures?
I'm glad to say that I'll never have to serve in the new homosexualized military.
Six of seven posters: homophobes. Pitiful.
Why are people fixated on someone else's preference?
I must be old fashioned because I feel that it is private or even sacred what goes on between two people. I mean can you see your self having to declare your preference every time you go some where. I know some of you people that are against the alternative lifestyle are also business owners why don't you ask every one that walks through you door what they are and refuse to do business with them if you feel so strongly about it.......
Post this sign on your door no Gay or Lesbian Military personnel with in this establishment.
When the military finally gets all homosexualized, the homosexuals can't squeal that they are homosexual to get discharged...when it gets too tough for them.
The gas you are passing smells like homophobia. Why don't you just say how much you hate gays, Gas_Passer?
To those Gay lovers,
I hope you have kids who are in the military and are straight. Otherwise you and everyone in congress have no idea what it is going to be like. Do you really think your gay friend will be able to take a shower next to a bunch of other guys and it not be a Hard situation. If you do, your a moron.
23bigdon1, who says I hate gays? I'm just saying that when the military gets all homosexualized that the homo's won't have that "I'm a gay" loophole to get a discharge from the military when it becomes too tough for them. Aren't you thrilled that the government is going to force all to love gays? They force everything else on us. Come on...show us non-gays some love.
Like I said yesterday Johnathan, you must be some kind of Adonis (look him up in your Funk and Wagnals) if you think every gay guy in a shower is gonna jump your skinny ass. Like I said before, homophobes galore today.
I see the bleeding heart Liberal don is patrolling the posting board again. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Most of the posts have been funny and HARD to the point.
doyen......
That's right, President Obama will be re-elected
in 2012.
We don't need any greedy republicans who are
full of hate.
@ Gas_Passer - You are pretty funny.
"...irrational fears of petty bigots." What else needs to be said on this subject?
