How is this a “compromise” if they get everything (and more than allowed in the private world by allowing marraige!) they want?
It’s no compromise, the RATS are giving the gay and lesbian activists everything they want.
“Democrats’ War Funding Amendment Would Allow Homosexuals to Serve in Military”
Homosexuals are already allowed to serve in the military. That’s what “don’t ask” is all about. The headline ought to say “openly,” but doesn’t, no doubt intending to confuse stupid people, per usual.
Can anyone explain just how many gay guys have always longed to storm a Taliban stronghold, yelling and hurling grenades?
I thought so......
Where is the transgendered?
What is next for the Rats??? Pedophiles and child molesters?
FWIW,IMHO, THIS is why the gays want DADT overturned.
The gays are not “legitimate” in the eyes of the Federal Gov’t.
Anybody ever see the movie “Miracle On 34th Street”? A man claims to be Santa Claus and is taken to court to prove he IS the “legitimate” Santa Claus.
His lawyer wins the case by providing THOUSANDS of USPS letters addressed to Santa Claus. If the USPS, a branch of the Federal Gov’t recognizes that Santa exists, then Santa is “legitimate”.
Once the US Military ( a branch of the Federal Gov’t ) recognizes gays as “legitimate”, they can then use that to gain the “legal equal treatment” from local, state, and Federal Gov’t’s they seem to think they are now denied.
Once the Military of the US Gov’t puts their “stamp of approval” on them, it’s “Game-Set-Match” as far as ever stopping their agenda.
It’s a “back door way” of gaining legitimacy, but they just might pull it off.
That’ll come soon enough. Can you imagine what the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs will be saying when Bethesda and Walter Reed offer that surgery?
This should only be voted on my Congressional members who served in the military. Others should recuse themselves.
You make a good point as pathetic as it is.
The SAPRO report on sexual assault in the military shows that Homosexuals are 3+x more likely given their small military population to comitt sexual assault than the general service population. Most DADT discharges are directly related to inappropriate sexual advances and behavior. The media us feeding the public well crafted lies on the innocuous nature of homosexual service.
That means they can then tell everyone they are available for gay sex.
Here is my last letter to the editor.
Regarding Congressional legislation to scrap “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, advocates rely for foundational credibility on the 1973 decision by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) to remove homosexuality from its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). However, concurrently and subsequently, no papers were presented refuting research previously done.
After this unsubstantiated decision, a new task force ensured perpetual sanctity for the APA action. The task force set standards for peer review of articles to dictate appropriate flexibility in design definitions, outcomes, and analytical models. No research papers would again arise to confirm initial therapy success rates of 30% to 60 %, which substantiated other research that 7 of 10 homosexuals could eventually walk away from the lifestyle forever.
Psychology and Psychiatry have chosen to abandon all pretense of scientific rigor in exchange for popular societal and political acclaim. In Genesis 3:23-24 the Lord God banished humanity from the Garden of Eden and placed an angel before the Garden to keep humanity away forever. By their actions, Psychology and Psychiatry appear content to keep science away from their own Garden of Eden.
Base antidotal prattle dominates the current debate, because these two disciplines cannot examine whether any mental disorders are acceptable for people seeking or retaining military service. In such an environment, there is little chance Congress will focus on the primary principle that military service should always be the ultimate meritocracy. There can be no compromises in struggles to defeat enemies unconcerned with social engineering.
Agreed, and the leftist enemedia will be triumphant when this is passed.
Thank you for your reply to my post.
I hope they fail at the attempt.
I thought Congress was waiting for the Pentagon report - not that I’m holding my breath for that report? So we pass the law anyway before the report? Why do it in the first place if the conclusion is already known? Liars, lies and more lies.
I find the prejudice of this legislation not to already include them — disturbing.
