Cheney supports repealing 'Don't ask, don't tell'(Open Gays in the Military)
The Hill ^ | 2/14/2010 | Eric Zimmermann -

Posted on 02/14/2010 5:24:07 PM PST by Brices Crossroads

Former Vice President Dick Cheney came out in favor of repealing "Don't ask, don't tell," (DADT) today.

Cheney said that the support of military leaders had convinced him that it was time for a change.

"Twenty years ago the military were strong advocates of 'Don't ask, don't tell.' I think things have change significantly since then," Cheney said on ABC's "This Week."

I think that society has moved on. It's partly a generational question," he continued. "When the [Joint] Chiefs come forward and say 'we think we can do it,' is strikes me that it's time to reconsider the policy."

I guess the “Big Tent” Rino-ism is now the standard on FR.

Transsexuals get protection, people like you and me get threads and comments pulled.

Both hetero sexual and Q should behave approperly, but sad neither does, so we must learn how to deal with this.I believe strong action against any party should be invoked and maybe we can stop this from getting worse~~

Again, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Homosexuality is a MENTAL DISORDER and acting on homosexual desires is a CHOICE. The incidence of sexual assault and rape by homosexuals is incredibly high compared to the heterosexual population.

You are equating a heterosexual aka “Normal” male with a homosexual.

Digusting.

They aren’t “everywhere”. But the agenda is.

Like right here on FR.

Don’t approve of WHAT? I’ve seen more than my share of trolls who say one thing and then try to use their own illiteracy as an excuse, so I will ask you some very simple questions:

Do you think that homosexuals should be allowed in the military? YES or NO

If you do believe that homosexuals should be allowed in the military, do you believe they should be allowed to be openly homosexual? YES or NO

I'm becoming more convinced by the minute that you are a troll.

Allowing homosexuals in the military has done NOTHING to cut down on the number of females in the military being raped. However, it has INCREASED the number of males in the military being raped.

“My only point is that a woman is likely to at least have some awareness than men are lusting after her. A heterosexual man will probably not know that a homosexual man is lusting after him.’

Females may have that awareness and why it is distracting. It creates tension that is not wanted in wars. It is more natural for heterosexual attraction. no doubt about that.

Males KNOW when a guy is eying them. For those that don't, they're easy targets.

You've been here for two months, it's not at all unusual for a person to keep their liberal agenda a secret for that long.

YOU are supporting allowing homosexuals to openly serve in the military and that is part of the militant homosexual agenda and that is opposed by FR. This makes you a troll.

I say NO and NO...ty..

Are you now saying that you DO NOT think homosexuals should be allowed to serve in the military?

I’ve read all of your posts, the problem is that you have made it very clear that you DO support allowing homosexuals to openly serve in the military.

Wagglebee asked you some questions and what are your answers?

Here they are so you can’t avoid them:

I agree that the optimal solution would be to not have homosexuals in the military and severely limit the roll of women in the military. I think it is impossible to limit the roll of women, we can eliminate homosexuals.

Wading through your DUI and/or illiterate posts is exceedingly tiresome; add to that the fact that you seem to be purposely camouflaging your POV.

You claim now to not support homosexuals in the military yet all your comments are supportive.

Women should have their own branches as they had in WW2.

“people who engage is such acts are notorious for other criminal behavior.”

Yep. Prisons are full of homos, hence the common joke that anyone going to prison is going to be “raped”.

Here is EXACTLY what you wrote in post #104 (NOBODY could possibly conclude that you oppose allowing homosexuals to openly serve in the military):

don't ask don't tell don't matter.Ones sexual preference should not be a issue for military service.
