Gay Rights: The purpose of our military is to kill people and break things when necessary. It's not a tool for social engineering. Wartime is not the time to repeal "don't ask, don't tell."
Repealing the "don't ask, don't tell" policy begun under President Clinton in 1993 is neither a legislative nor a military priority while we are engaged militarily in Iraq and Afghanistan and knee-deep in a jobless recovery where the issues of national debt and tax cuts should be paramount.
Yet liberals drowning in political correctness consider it a priority, as does Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who plans to use precious lame-duck session time to push for it. He's even enlisted the support of over-the-top pop star Lady Gaga, who, after a series of tweets with Reid, produced a YouTube video imploring the Senate to repeal DADT.

Why do we care what these “Special” People think or do? Stay out of the Military then ! Why should everyone be inconvenienced over dealing with this Filth?
It’s about pandering to special interest groups.
The powers that be live in ivory towers and don’t suffer from the evil they spew at us and our families.

The Marine Corps is flying 40 year old helicopters and these idiots are apoplectic over giving an opportunity to mentally deranged pole smokers, butt pirates and carpet munchers to try and destroy the military.
Those are two separate sentiments that Rush has been repeating pretty much since he first got on the air. Those words, I mean. You'd think they'd add a "ditto" or something.
We may need to fight a rear-guard action. Maybe the TSA can screen recruits.
What exactly do queers want to be free to do in the military? Daily military service isn’t based on sexual preferences and practices. What do they expect the change to be?

I don’t know, the 10th Brokeback Mountain Division just doesn’t sound like a good idea to me.
Thank You! I read that line and the image of every moslem on the planet suddenly bursting into flames popped into my mind. I liked it!
ROFLMAO
Rear guard action and queers. Too funny.
Drop and give me fifty. NO GODDAMMIT, I meant PUSHUPS!
What do you mean were all out of gun grease???!!!
We used to have the greatest military in the world. Now, you people SUCK.
FUMTU
So if DADT is repealed they can ask the sexual preferences of recruits?
I wonder if this is all leading up to domestic partnerships. Domestic partnerships would make those who were partnered to military personnel qualified to receive all the services of the military. A domestic partner with AIDS would be able to access the V A for medical care. Also, such partners would get access to commissary privileges and housing. They would get what heterosexuals would be unable to get unless they were married.
Nah. You do get to wear your choice of uniform, though...
Let’s be honest: the “wartime is no time for this” is a ridiculous argument. Either the ban is a good thing (which I think it is) and should stay in place during war or peace, or it’s meaningless in which case it’s repeal can happen either during a time of peace or a time of war.
We need to attack the left head on and not make excuses.
Cannon fodder!
If they pass it, they should also remove all restrictions from men using ladies facilities, dorm, showers, restrooms.
Gag on DADT
