The house voted late last night 234-194 in favor of repealing the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which will pave the way for openly homosexual people to serve in the military. This came after the Senate Armed Services Committee voted 16-12 in favor of the repeal earlier on Thursday.
There aren't words for the total disdain and disgust I feel forwards the radical liberals in our government right now. It's bad enough for them to run over ordinary citizens with their far-left agendas and pass bills like the stimulus packages and healthcare. But this is taking it way too far. Now Congress is meddling in the internal business of the military. The Pentagon specifically requested that Congress until they were done with internal surveying and polling military officials to see if they wanted this type of legislation. Congress (read: bleeding heart, radical liberal democrats) refused to honor the sovereignty of the military and pressed on.
So much for Generals and senior Pentagon officials running our armed forces. The last thing our soldiers need is to deal with all the drama this bleeding heart hogwash is going to create. "Don't ask, don't tell" has served its purpose wonderfully in the 17 years since it was enacted. Now we'll have to deal with countless claims of harassment and discrimination from poor homosexuals who weren't treated "properly".
Opening the door to the volatility and instability that adding the question of sexual orientation will create is unacceptable. Our soldiers shouldn't have to bear the burden of wondering, or of feeling constant awkwardness and unwanted sexual tension....especially, at this critical time in history, where the military is already under the extreme stress of a long-term conflict. I wonder how many gay men have to get beaten to a bloody mess on the floor of a Marine Corps barracks before our liberal Congress realizes that sticking their nose in the internal affairs of the military was a bad idea.
This has disaster written all over it.
