How is this a “compromise” if they get everything (and more than allowed in the private world by allowing marraige!) 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.
This should only be voted on my Congressional members who served in the military. Others should recuse themselves.
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.
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.
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.
Back on the ranch we used the word "service" meaning copulation by a male: "Farmer Miller got a bull to service all his cattle."
So I guess the gay agenda activists just can't wait to service our military...
If recruiting is difficult now, how will an all volunteer homosexualized military work?
I for one would not want my son or daughter to serve subject to the orders of sexual perverts.
Lieberman, what a snake.
“My views on repeal of [don’t ask, don’t tell] have not changed since my testimony,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. George Casey wrote. “I remain convinced that it is critically important to get a better understanding of where our Soldiers and Families are on this issue,”
I’m glad that the actual service chiefs are showing some spine on this. Secretary Gates and JCS Chairman Admiral Mullin are, metaphorically speaking, nothing more that catamites to the administrations & congress’ pederest inclinations on this critical issue.
This issue should NOT even be considered until after the November election and a new congress is sworn in. This will give the people the ability to speak. I do not believe that President Obama has any “mandate” anymore (if he ever did). This move is a desparation act to foist a bad policy on the nation before the, soon to be gone, congress changes because of their ineptness on so many issues.
Placemark for pingout tomorrow.
