Obama urges officials to allow gays in military

Sure... Why not? Relaxing such standards did wonders for the Catholic Church. Right?

I am so sick of this. Gays already serve in the military.

What do they expect? Drop DADT and then they will click their combat boats together three times, say I’m gay, I’m gay, I’m gay and the world will be rainbows and lollipops?

The only gripe I can see is perhaps the different allowances/$ for married vs single.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the Senate would vote on a measure to end the Pentagon's Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy after the Thanksgiving holiday break.

This has NOTHING to do with gays serving.

This has EVERYTHING to do with using gays as a weapon to weaken our military by corroding military customs and morale and especially with lawsuits (think ACLU here).

I wonder how long after Soros told him to demand this before he picked up the phone. Marxist traitors would at least be entertaining if they weren’t so predictable.

The Congress in Jan will reflect the current will of the people—this year's lame duck congress reflects the will of the people in 2008--when they were stoooopid.

The losers should not decide such a huge issue like DADT—and if the Senate RINOs don't help filibuster any Leftist efforts to make new law (other than extending the tax cuts) Tea Party 2 in 2012 will be even more historical than Tea Party 1 in 2010.

If they repeal it, the military should go on strike.

Let them join, but segregate them into their own units. There’s always a need for cannon fodder.

Truth to tell, if I was an enemy soldier and I knew a gay battalion was coming over the hill for me, I’d be pretty scared.

And just think of how much fun they would have on anti-piracy patrols.

“Our Defense Department supports repealing ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ as a way to build our all-volunteer armed forces.”

This means the civilian employees of the DoD. Collectively, they have some, let us say, “imaginative” ideas about how a military should be run and function, knowing better than 4,000+ years of experience. Or at least thinking they know better.

Log Cabin Republicans...

Why doesn't someone start a group called "Patriotic Democrats". It would be a "cancer" inside the Democratic party, just a the Log Cabin boys are a "cancer" inside the Republicans! :0)

They're just not allowed to wear makeup and jewelry during inspection.

Reid said in a statement. "We need to repeal this discriminatory policy so that any American who wants to defend our country can do so."

What a disingenuous statement (lie.) So ANY American can serve? Seems to me their are strict requirements and that many are rejected for seemingly benign traits. Does the ADA now trump military code?

If the slime in Congress pass this abomination can the Repubs undo in January? The idea of flaming homosexuals in the military is so repulsive and disgusting and horrible and destructive that it's hard to imagine it could really happen. DADT is more than bad enough; it should be repealed and revert back to "no homosexuals at all, whatsoever, of any sort etc".
