Poll: Don't ask don't tell

[MannyIsGod]

Well, first the government has to appeal the case for it to be tossed back. Hasn't happened yet. I suspect it will be appealed at some point but I don't think its a certainty. Once its thrown back then we'll talk, but as of this time DADT is uncons utional. Considering the ruling was only a couple of weeks ago I don't think you can draw too much from the fact that it persists.

How long did it take the south to integrate the schools after all?

Shouldn't an issue like this be on the bottom of the priorities list in America right now? How about the economy and the unemployment rate? Shouldn't those things be more important than whether or not gay people can be gay double rainbow all the way in the military? Just askin'.

There are always lame excuses.

Just sayin'.

And considering the trouble the military is having meeting recruitment and retention goals while committed heavily to two theaters of operation, your excuse got even lamer.

Perhaps you'd care to suggest a minimum percentage of the population that must be affected in order for an issue to merit the consideration of our elected officials?

[ElNono]

Yeah! We're at war and the economy is in shambles! Why would anybody care about the Cons ution?

[Wild Cobra]

Except that gay males and straight males are ALREADY integrated, whereas females and males are obviously not.

Also, there is much more separation in our society between male/female than there is gay/straight. (Hormones, for one thing...)

So?

What is the difference? Those who are gay claim they are born so.

Why do women not want men to see their naked bodies? Isn't there suppose to be equal protection?

Can you at least acknowledge that some see this as a valid point? It's not only me you know.

So you want straight men to see your naked body.

OK.

The Military is not a Democracy, the judgment of Command Military Officers should be all that matters in the debate. Let them hash it out and arrive at a solution; Civilian leaders and the general population have no direct stake in the game.

As long as the military is dependent upon civilian enlistment, then, yes, the general population absolutely has a direct stake in the game.

Hey WC, I don't want to rip on you or anything but the points you've been making in this thread are really dumb. If you're just playing around to get a rise out of the libs that's cool but if you're being serious you might want to bail because seriously you're points have been really dumb.

[Jacob1983]

The majority of Americans don't give a if gay people can't serve openly in the military. I know that the gay community does not want to hear that but it's true. People are focused on the economy and unemployment mainly because it affects them. People are tired of the recession and want things to get better.

[ChumpDumper]

Actually, that's wrong, so I'm not going to give a about the rest of your post.

Three-quarters of Americans say that they support openly gay people serving in the U.S. military, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll

Your point is that until men and women can shower together, gay men and straight men shouldn't either. Which means that gay men shouldn't be allowed to serve openly in the military.

So, the freedom of speech that is denied to these soldiers is trumped by some theoretical "right" for men and women to shower together? Sorry, can't agree with you on that one.

[MannyIsGod]

And yet, it persists.

There's a federal court out in California that is constantly saying a bunch of is uncons utional and they keep getting their asses handed back to them.

This one going to get overturned too? Your boy appointed the judge, btw.

Whats up WC, does this court have authority?

[ChumpDumper]

But they have a different system of justice!

YouTube, help me!

[MannyIsGod]

Meant to post this yesterday.

Whats up now?

[Winehole23]

Good riddance to smelly garbage if the ruling stands.

[MannyIsGod]

I have no doubts it stands just as I've had no doubts this was the inevitable outcome. 2+2 = 4 and all that.

Well, looks like the 9th already sent it back to him to review. Administration has appealed so it goes back to the 9th and will get rubber stamped. My guess is that O will not appeal the 9th courts ruling.
