Any of you watch that fiasco?
The thing that freaks me out about conservatives is how they always use the same old explanations for everything. They never seem to move forward...or..(gasp) progress.
Asked about Americas "don't ask don't tell" policy, we were gien the same old answers they uses for blacks and women. The troops won't be able to work as a unit, it will destroy moral, the soldiers won't share the same values. One even went on to say even though it works everywhere else in the world, Americas moral values are evidentiley stronger than other countries....
The big joke with this thinking is that:
A. It's been proven wrong and totally unfounded with Blacks and Women
B. Unlike blacks and women, gays have always been in the military right alongside heterosexual soldiers.
Why no interacial marraige? Why can't women vote or work in an office? Why can't minorities or women be soldiers? Why can't we allow gays to do anything??!! Always the same old, backwards, disproven dogma trotted out. Those poor, simple, moral heterosexuals can't handle the pressure. Suicide bombers, chemical weapons, roadside bombs, yes. Gay brothers in arms? Eeeeeeeeeeeek, run away!
Don't they feel ignorant and embarrassed saying things like this? Why not defend the flat earth theory while they're at it?
It reminds me when people going on about all our "tax money" going to gay causes. Like gays aren't tax payers. Our soldiers won't be able to handle it. Which ones are those? All the gay soldiers that are already serving by the thousands? Oops, they are not really soldiers.
Amazing that you can be a decorated, superbe soldier in the closet, but if someone finds out you're gay you become a useless detriment to your country.
What they're really saying is that the English, the Canadians, the Germans, French, Isreali, Spanish, on and on......, soldiers are a stronger lot than the American.
God I hate ignorance!:mad:
