Gates urges Congress to repeal gay ban now

MELBOURNE, Australia – U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Congress should act quickly, before new members take their seats, to repeal the military's ban on gays serving openly in the military.

He, however, did not sound optimistic that the current Congress would use a brief postelection session to get rid of the law known as "don't ask, don't tell."

"I would like to see the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell" but I'm not sure what the prospects for that are," Gates said Saturday, as he traveled to defense and diplomatic meetings in Australia.

Unless the lame-duck Congress acts, the repeal effort is considered dead for now.

Lone Red Ranger was also zotted, he had made about a hundred posts when he joined five years ago, one post this year and then he showed up on this thread to vouch for WAW. It may have been a double-name zot of one troll.

Boy, they get one good trouncing in the voting booth, and the trolls get kinda pissy, don't they?

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Well WAW’s sign up date was 9/17 and Lone Red Ranger made his first post in over 5 years five days later, on 9/22. And then the few on this thread.

Trolls are not known for brightness.

The problem with lying is that you have to keep track of your lies and that’s apparently too hard for most trolls to do.
