DADT repeal ... still possible
 

Still possible the Wizard of Oz will give some of our Senators both a brain, and defense assurance against the magic gay cooties they so obviously fear:

Be sure you read the last paragraph:

START with the Navy for a year and let's see how it works.........

that's a silly idea, dell. hard to believe that in the 21st century, this country is still discriminating against folks. i know that 25 years ago when i was in the navy, there were homosexuals in the service. no doubt there are now as well. the only difference is that people who shouldn't have to worry about their sexuality won't have to worry about it. most in the service recognize that one, there are already folks in the military that are lying to be there, and two, no one should have to lie to join the military. kind of puts our military in a bit of a bad light, asking some of our best and brightest to be dishonest when entering an honorable career.
repeal this bs law-NOW. it's archaic and has no place in the land of the free.

really? Its ridiculous that this rule is in place for any branch of the military.

OK maybe the tank does look better in pink.

voting today in the senate. not over yet. here's hoping that the u.s. ends this black eye.

Black eye should - hopefully - be GONE
 

I'll bet the real, final vote is much higher. All those GOP Senators now "getting on the right side of history" <vbg>

Flip side: The Senate still is blocking the DREAM act. That's done. Sorry, American born children who were unfortunate enough to be the children of illegals. No Harvard for you any more! And a couple of the more homophobic GOP have threatened that if DADT passes, they will block START (but that may just be silly threat). Because nuclear arms containment treaties with Russia are equivalent to some male in the military in Afghanistan being happy he gets a letter from his boyfriend at home, and not having to hide it.

UPDATE: Final vote on DADT in Senate 3pm today!

Nice to see the Senate having some sense in blocking the Dream Act.

Because you can't kick people who were born here, who grew up here, who went to school here, and who contribute to our society enough when they are brown, right?

The Senate just voted 65 to 31 to repeal DADT. At last most of America restarts to move out of the ignorant prejudices of our past, and the shameful way we've treated members of our military. Dinosaurs remain, but hopefully they will simply continue towards extinction. Where their ideas belong.

When I was in the military I had no problems serving with people who where gay. They were great people to work with and to talk with. It is a shame how they get treated. As long as it doesn't interfere with work who cares.

It has nothing to do with AMERICAN BORN children Riot. Get a grip. It has nothing to do with racism either. People in this country LEGALLY should not be put at the back of the line. "Children" up to age 35 receiving amnesty(see S. 729 Section 4(a)(1)(F)? Have you read any of this Bill? How are they going to prove they have been here? I see massive fraud on the horizon. Let's secure the border first.

Glad they did away with DADT. Finally

Dumba$$ if they were born here they are U.S. citizens and welcome to apply to Harvard like anyone else. Kind of like the President did. Though he may be a darker brown than what you're describing:zz::zz:

But go ahead and play the race card even if it has no significance other than in your head?

And what about those that are here as gang-bangin, drug-dealing parasites, like half the jail population at Lake County IL (far from any border). Should we put them at Harvard, jail them, deport them? And if we do deport should we be on guard for their possible return?

that's correct. this act is for illegal aliens brough here as minors.

immigration needs to be addressed in full. rather than introducing different acts covering a portion of the whole issue isn't the way to go imo. real reform is needed.

as a sidenote....did anyone realize that amendment 20 to the constitution was supposed to end lame-duck sessions? the amendment was introduced and ratified after the majority, but soon to be minority party pushed thru a bunch of judgeships before departing for good.

Baby...shut up.

"I'm not racist! Some of my best friends are black."

Baby...shut up.

I'm not racist!!!


Look at me! I'm a cultured white fella!







Oopsie! That was a pic of my friend who I talked out of being in the KKK...












































There's me. Racists don't wear adidas track suits! Come on, man!

The thing that I find the most amusing about you is that you post this nonsense actually thinking it is helping your cause.. If you don't get what I am talking about Coach clearly layed it out for you above.

[quote]Yes, I know that, I misspoke that. We all know DREAM is about children of aliens.

Geesh, you hate illegals. I can't think of anyone that wants immigrants to arrive here illegally (I certainly don't, I want them deported) but you have a hate, and it's always about Mexicans - not Canadians, not Cubans, not Haitians.

Yeah, I have read the bill, and what do you have against it, because what you fear about being "put at the back of the line" is complete crap and there's nothing in there that remotely does that? One can easily "prove you're here" for a child via school records, doctor records, etc.

This is for children, who are brought here by illegal parents, and live here, grow up here, go to school here, become part of the community here, speak English - it's a path to citizenship - not a giveaway - and when they reach adulthood, they deserve to work through that if they want to renounce their other citizenship and become Americans, as this is their "homeland". And yes, their illegal parents should be deported.

Face it, whites are going to be the minority in the United States rather quickly, and deporting every non-white you see isn't going to change that.

So if it's not about race for you, what's it about for you? Stealing American jobs? That's been proven embarassingly false this past year with the "Take Our Job" program. You just don't like immigrants? Which types? Irish? German? Australian? Mexican? Haitian? What is the terrible danger you see here, about the children of illegals working towards citizenship and choosing - wanting - to be citizens of this country?

Secure the border? Why? Don't you pay attention to this immigrant issue that worries you so much? ICE has deported 40,000 people in the past couple years - ICE is under attack for doing TOO MUCH getting rid of illegals.
