This is an opportunity folks. Obama is making the same mistake Clinton did. This is not a winning issue. It makes the Democrats look even more liberal. The masks are off. Now the question is will the Republicans have the guts to use this issue or will they cower in front of the threat of the pink mafia?

isn’t this more of an official ‘policy’ than a law of any kind?

I sort of thought it was just giving a name to what they were doing anyway when dumbass clinton was stupid enough to make gays in military his first agenda item

Let’s repeal Carl Levin. Unfortunately, he doesn’t come up for reelection until 2014.

A year after the policy is changed, we will see this happen on every military base.

After a torrid romance, begun at the base all-ranks club, LT Bob will marry LT Bill in the base chapel.

Then they will move into base housing, and begin adopting their children, or hiring wombs to do the trick.

If Bob and Bill want to slow dance and make out in the clubs, that is their business.

Anybody who has a problem with any of the above will just have to grit their teeth and say nothing. Otherwise, they will be given 1.0 (failing) marks on the EEOC portion of their fitness reports. Or they will even be charged with “hate crimes.”

A vast number of our best troops won’t stay in the new gay-orama military, and our combat readiness will collapse.

This is the future folks, if we don’t stop this.

OK as a retired veteran here is my two cents on “don’t ask, don’t tell”. Men in combat units don’t fight for the unit or for an idea, they fight for each other. They train as a unit and are placed in stressful training situations with the express purpose of developing a bond. They form a bond which is based on love, trust and a commitment to each other and to the group. They never confuse this love for sexual attraction and the potential for another soldier to confuse this bond in a sexual manner inhibits the forming of this bond. When this bond does not form units are dysfunctional and become ineffective as a fighting unit. Social engineering experiments are best left to college campuses not combat units.

Notice that in many cases, the legislature never repealed any laws against homosexuality, it was an agenda advanced through the courts.

Why not pass a law permitting same sex desire afflicted persons to serve openly in the military?

From one angle it looks like Senator Levin has “come out” himself. However, that would be wrong. His interest is sexual sadism ~ which he undoubtedly enjoys to the degree possible. Otherwise, he’d realise a relaxation of the current policy will simply lead to more folks of the sort who sexually abused the prisoners at Abu Ghraib trying to enter the military.

After putting a goodly portion of their voters in the PO’d column after stimulus, cap & trade and ObamaCare, they are trying to reel back in their fragmented, bought-and-paid-for, fragmented hodge-podge of a compilation of a base.

Ahhh, I can hear it now . . . the embellished history of the mighty Fighting 69th - Charge of the Fudge Packer Brigade. A unit of Fighting Fairies in the Airborne ranks. . . .

Imagine what kind of coverage they will get in the selected revisionist history books compiled for our unsuspecting children in public schools. . . . disgusting . . . once again, Rats putting our national security at risk for political purposes.

I really don't think Americans are concerned about Don't Ask, Don't Tell right now. They are interested in the economy and national security.

Obama is taking the easy road by addressing the gay agenda. It doesn't require him to balance a budget!!!!

Obma driving another nail in the coffin of the US.

Look at the stupid things this man has done. No one can be that stupid. It is a conspiracy by a Muslim traitor to destroy America, and the Democrat party is in it with him.

What would Levin know about homosexuals in the military? To the best of my knowledge, he has not served one day in uniform.
