Senate Republicans Block 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Repeal

Times have changed and we need to change with them, enough of these old ideas and in with the new along with national health care and education reform. How about a mass transit rail system across the US... like other functioning, civilized countries?

so in other words its to your liking or no print and your violating our freedom of speech.if its gay no print if its about a woman no print why dont you just print your own trash.and i know your not going to print this someone might sue you why dont you print your own garb at least we have something to say.

I can't figure out why the suckers want to tell everyone anyway you dont see us straights going around yelling im coming out of my clouset to tell you im straight make sense? be true to yourself men would you really want to marry a harry man even animals know this is wrong.

THAT STUDY WAS A LIE!!!! 99% of the families I know in the military are against the repeal!! THey only said 50/50 to see like they were equal on both sides!! WHY are they caving to the demands of people like Lady GAGA?? Why dont they fight! It is wrong! The whole thing is wrong! I fear for our country and our childrens future. Hollywood and the "lower courts" have no business in this issue!! When they put on a pair of boots and deploy for 15 months in Iraq, THEN they can have a say, why do they allow these people that care nothing about our troops and our country to dictate something as serious as national security?? Obviously we know who owns who!!

we must keep Christians and other extremist's out of our Government. it should be against the law for Christians to use their religion in Government. it needs to be silenced from radios and TV and kept withing the walls of its own church.
We must protect our children for these pedophiles and such. as well as the churches that lure young into their churches with Summer camps,food and more just to teach this HATE to the next generation of youth.
Most of all TAX every Church in the US 10% to our Government!

How many gays and lesbians have you seen holding SUPPORT THE TROOPS sign?-0
Now how many at Anti-War Protests-1,000 and counting.

Forget using DADT hostage in exchange for tax cuts for the republicans rich supporters. Let the courts take it and make it take effect immediately.

Thirty five countries around the world including Australia, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, The United Kingdom and Israel’s battled tested forces presently allow gay members to serve openly. Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United States do not allow such. Of the 26 countries that participate militarily in NATO Turkey and the United States are the only two of the original members that have bans still in place. Of all nations, America screams the loudest about human rights abuse yet , when it comes to openly gay service members, we are the one that demands these individuals deny their very existence. Personally I believe this speaks for itself! Not a single one of the countries that allow gays to serve openly have experienced an increase in unacceptable sexual behavior. Here in the United States, more than 14,000 service members have been discharged under Don‘t Ask - Don‘t Tell, including many hundreds if not thousands with critical skills in foreign languages, military intelligence, counter terrorism, weapons development and military medicine. Meanwhile, the military is having such trouble finding qualified recruits that it is now issuing “moral waivers” to convicted felons and has lowered its educational and physical fitness requirements. The original rationale for “don't ask, don't tell” was that it would enhance unit morale and cohesion, and thus military preparedness, by shielding heterosexual soldiers from any knowledge that some of their colleagues were gay. That rationale has not held up in the real world. All branches of the military have routinely delayed investigations and discharges until suspected gays complete their deployments on combat missions. Their service has been deemed vital in the war zones, not detrimental. The federal court has ruled, based on persuasive evidence, that “don't ask, don't tell” is unconstitutional because it infringes the due process and free speech rights of gay service members, who are forced to lie about central elements of their lives. The courts have also made a powerful case that the law is harmful to military readiness, the opposite of what its authors said they intended. Our military leaders train our troops to be professional and at the same time teaches that lying is not only acceptable, it is mandatory. Many of the nations that have lifted their bans heard the same arguments that doing so would undermine unit cohesion, hurt retention and recruitments, None of the problems that were hypothesized materialized. Our own military has resisted racial integration, it resisted gender integration. In both cases, our military leaders kicked and screamed saying it would undermine effectiveness. Once the decision was made, soldiers saluted and followed in line. The Uniform Code Of Military Justice (UCMJ) applicable to all branches of US Military Service presently covers unacceptable behavior including sexual conduct, it should be equally and fairly enforced for all members regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. It is unfair to persecute valued service members under an outmoded and harmful law that should have been scrapped long ago. As a honorably discharged veteran of military service. I can assure everyone there are thousands of gay soldiers currently serving with pride and dedication, and have been since the inception of military service dating back to the third century. Many have died defending our way of life. It is unfair to persecute valued service members under an outmoded and harmful law that should have been scrapped long ago. The time has come to throw Don't Ask, Don't Tell onto the scrap pile of American history.

if all the gay people in the wars was to get throwed out they wouldnt have enough people to fight the war if you dont think that theirs lots of gay or by in service then think again lots of your friens people you grew up with are gay or by , im not gay but i know a few and beleave me if i was ther fighting i can only hope that gay person standing next to me saveing my but from getting killed , well i can never thank him enough i only hope they all come home gay or not they are fighting , may god be with them all

GAYS AND LESBIANS OFTEN SHOW Agression in public latrines, bathrooms,etc. Many know this. I personally saw the "TOE TAPPING" TECHNIQUE to sound out other gays in public bathrooms for extra curricular activities before returning to work with an extended lunch in the stall. The perversion and sickness abounds when you say nothing or do nothing about it. This mentality is swirling in the halls of Congress as we make comment. The pages are running for their lives and Congressmen and Senators are making their passes in public bathrooms in airports, military bases, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, etc where ever they can push their perversion on society. Soon it will be in public schools as children are made to believe GAY AND LESBIAN tendencies are NORMAL AND SHOULD BE OPENLY SHOWN. THIS IS ALL WRONG.
