DADT Vote - Live!!!

[rightwinger]

When given a choice of siding with Americans who want to serve their country or with bigots who want to tell others they are not allowed to represent their country..

Republicans overwhelmingly sided with the bigots

you are nuts, they ALREADY ARE SERVING.
Unlike some, just maybe they don't care to spread around what SEX they like to have sex with. good gawd.

Who said anything about SEX??? Like most adults they want to be able to talk about the person they love. What they did over the weekend, how much they miss them while they are away, put up a picture, talk to them on the phone..

Under DADT, that would get them kicked out

Are Muslim nations embracing homosexuality in an effort to become "global?"

Are you suggesting that we be more like Muslim nations?

C'Mon A15...you know damed well what the poster meant. Stop being so obtuse. You know damned well how GAYS in Muslim Society are dealt with.

 

[rightwinger]

McCain's legacy take a blow?

How funny is that it was a FRIGGEN DEMOCRAT President who signed the damn thing into law in the FIRST PLACE.

yet you don't hear the howls and accusations AGAINST HIM, now do ya.

We heard the howls from the religious right when Clinton signed DADT as a compromise to the right. The right complained that they would not be able to continue their witch hunts for gays

Thanks, Tommy ... I get it. I also get that he's trolling. He's not a poster I take seriously at all.

Your disgusting. Letting soldiers be honest about who they are is not a "Radical gay agenda."

Some time ago, ne'er-do-wells like yourself called desegregation in the military "Radical black agenda."

wtf? when were soldiers not ALLOWED to honest about themselves. you people are friggen nuts.

^ ---- this one is so beside herself she forgot what the debate was all about?

At the time DADT was considered a step forward. It was a bad policy. Thankfully, the right thing has been done and it is no more.

wow, that was some real bullshit spin there for your boy Billy boy Clinton signing the damn thing into LAW. Need a shovel.

 

[Article 15]

Clinton wanted to completely end the ban on homosexuals in the military but he buckled to the right and the result was DADT.

It was a compromise and an interim step to the eventual acceptance of gays in the Military. The conservatives at the time wanted to continue the policy where you actively pursued and kicked out gays. If full acceptance could have been passed at the time, it would have

Keep in mind, Clinton had to deal with pig headed Republicans...just like today

The military is NO PLACE to be asking such questions...period.

Social experimentation does not belong here with the mission of the armed forces. It is an unwanted/unnecessary distraction.

A POX on the Legislators for this and during the Clinton Administration.

1859 called. it wants its ideas back.

I think god was gay, as well as his son jesus., so why would the church try to cover it up by cutting the bible in half and calling themselves christians?

 

[SFC Ollie]

Its the right thing to do and long overdue

Says you...

.... and the majority of the American people, the majority of the military, and the majority of the United States' House of Representatives and Senate.

No, you really cannot say the majority of the military. The survey they did was so flawed you can't tell anything from it.

 

[SFC Ollie]

i didnt read this whole thread, as the OP'rs posts are usually a waste of time
but does anyone know if this bill just repeals DADT or does it change the policy to allow gays to openly serve?

They will be able to openly serve. Seems some promises have been made to certain unnamed Senators that this would be phased in slowly so that it would not affect Unit cohesiveness. At least someone is thinking a little bit. I would love to know what else they were promised.

Do you care if the guy in your squad is a rapist when you are on patrol? I think this is really BS Ollie, because I know things happened in nam from torture, beheadings, murder, fragging, rapes, and frankly I didn't give a **** as long as the guy held up his end like I would do for him, and I wouldn't leave him on trail if he went down. It's about survival, not anything else, no BS.

I mean, maybe we should make a list of what distractions you think apply in a field engagement?

1.How about a wife beater?
2.Dead beat dad?
3.Child Molester?
4.Robber?
5.Rapist?
6.Torturer
7.etc.

You put down whatever it is Ollie, because it don't mean nothing.

All BS Stawmen. Watch and see. That's all we can do now anyway.

uh, it was a compromise, but it was an executive order, had NOTHING to do witn anyone in congress
it was a compromise with military leaders, not the GOP

The religious right will NEVER be happy until gays are dealt with the way Islamic theocracies deal with them.
