Ellison, McCollum praise DADT vote

Of course they praised it. Neither served and it’s probable that they would stop any of their children from serving. One world for the clueless politicians, the real world for all others.

So try living in the real world, Dennis. Gays have been serving in the military, will continue to serve, and should not be discriminated against simply because of their sexual preferences.

Another POV….

From: MASSRESISTANCE..COM..

In a historic display of corruption and sleaze, the Democrat-controlled US House and Senate — along with Republican Scott Brown and other RINOs — effectively voted to repeal “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” with the US Senate vote Saturday. This opens the door to public integration of homosexuality (and even transgenderism) into the US Armed Forces. It will be a change of monumental destructive proportions. It was immediately celebrated throughout the liberal media.

The margin of victory came from Congressmen and Senators who had already been defeated in the Nov. 2 elections, thrown out of office largely because of their support for Obama’s radical left-wing agenda. In a cowardly last-ditch jab at America, they rushed it through in a lame-duck session, knowing that the new Congress which begins in a few weeks would never pass it.

They knew full well that the majority of Americans greatly oppose this agenda. All 31 states which voted on “gay marriage” have defeated it, many by large margins.

But particularly outrageous was Sen. Scott Brown, the newly elected Republican from Massachusetts who was swept into office by pro-family and Tea Party support, vowing he’d be the “41st vote” against the Obama agenda and would oppose the DADT repeal. Brown completely abandoned his base and his campaign promises, and blatantly voted to homosexualize the military.

Top military leaders rallying for homosexualilty

But even worse, our top military leaders, including the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Secretary of Defense, aggressively supported integrating homosexuality into the US military and actively lobbied members of Congress to repeal DADT. (It’s a sad testament to the mental state of the people running our military. We’re only lucky this wacky bunch wasn’t in charge during WWII.)

As part of that effort, days before the vote Pentagon released a 266-page report, cited by Brown and others, that included a survey saying that a majority of military personnel have worked successfully with “LGBT” servicemen. But the report is has numerous flaws, biases, and skewed research, and the survey is widely criticized for not asking direct questions about the repeal, and asking mostly non-combat people. Other surveys show that combat troops were overwhelmingly against the repeal.

What they didn’t talk about

As expected, this was celebrated in the gushing liberal media: in the newspapers, on TV, on the radio, and on the web. “A great civil rights victory,” etc., etc.

Gay and bisexual men continue to be among the hardest hit by this epidemic in the United States. They are 44 times more likely than the general population to become HIV positive, and an estimated one in five gay and bisexual men living in urban areas who frequent gay bars and nightclubs are HIV positive. Rates of HIV infection among Black gay and bisexual men are twice as high as those of white gay and bisexual men.
