Don't Ask, Don't Tell repeal passes the House

It's about damn time.  I'm sure that plenty will be said about this tomorrow, but for now I would like to thank the 5 GOP Members who voted for repeal:

Rep. Judy Biggert of Illinois.

Rep. Joseph Cao of Louisiana.

Rep. Charles Djou of Hawaii.

(Sigh) Rep. Ron Paul of Texas.

and

Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida. 

I thank you, and thousands of service members thank you as well. 

Also, media whore Lt. Dan Choi will now be available to chain himself to shit at your wedding, bar mitzvah, or other special occasion.

3 In My experience, though my service was as a Geek, I have more time with a stereoscope than with a rifle, the bigots were treated as outsiders, and never really accomplished much.

I used to say about don't ask don't tell, or rather the service of gays in general (I think don't ask don't tell was a problem, because it was an example of congressional intrusion codifying something that had previously been based on internal rules and regs) that the only reason I oppose open homosexuality in the service, not because It bugs me, but I don't know how many bigots could act before right thinking people could prevent.

Openly accepting gays is the best method to create a self executing environment of safety, cuz then the bigots will take themselves out of the equation in a few years, or suck it up (no joke intended) and let things be as things are, and learn to ignore it, or just stay silent.

4 Hey guys, remember the whole Nidal Hassan thing? How he was promoted past what he should have been, and how his superiors were afraid to correct him because they were afraid to get an EO complaint filed against them? Now, gays are going to get that kind of special treatment, further weakening our military just to make other people feel good.

5 And then a gay mass murderer will kill a good number of people because (s)he demands that other people follow his or her orientation?  Totally the same deal!

"Now, gays are going to get that kind of special treatment, further weakening our military just to make other people feel good."

That may be the stupidest argument I've ever heard.  I suppose this reasoning is applied towards women, blacks, hispanics, asians, and every other "minority" set out there, right?  Or just the gays?

And, Vintage, now I'm terrified of a gay mass murdering Army officer.  Terrified.

10 Missing the point much? Never said homos would be mass murderers. Only, that fear of PC crippled his superiors. Hence, he would have never got a promotion, never got transferred to Hood. How is it in your world? The sky is blue in mine.

11 Oh, and Alice, you keep bringing up my old comment. Can you please link me to a story to what happened to those soccer players? If they all returned to Iran and were executed, I withdraw those comments. Please prove me wrong. 100 dollars to your favorite medical charity if you can prove me wrong.

12 It's not just one old comment, Blarg.  Every time you show up here, you're trolling.
