Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday he supports the Obama administration's decision to repeal the "don't ask, don't tell" policy banning gays and lesbians from serving openly in the military -- a move that was staunchly opposed by most top Republicans.
"I think the decision that's been made with respect to allowing gays to serve openly in the military is a good one" Cheney told CNN's Candy Crowley on "State of the Union." "It's the right thing to do."
The policy, first enacted during the Clinton administration, was officially repealed on September 20. Over 14,000 people were kicked out of the military due to "don't ask, don't tell."
The controversial repeal of the policy became a focal point of a GOP presidential debate last month when members of the audience booed a gay soldier who asked about the decision. President Barack Obama criticized the Republican presidential contenders on Saturday night for failing to rebuke the audience.
"We don't believe in standing silent when that happens," Obama told attendees at the annual National Dinner of the Human Rights Campaign, an organization that promotes equality for gays and lesbians.....

Does the repeal of “don’t ask don’t tell” mean that the original rules now apply? Homo’s get kicked out of the service.
As I remember from my service days, sex with “anyone” not your legal spouse was not allowed. Not even with yourself.
That’s the way it should be. Ask, tell, out the door if answer is wrong.
The toilets were out in the open,right? As in no stalls?
Who is surprised by this? I am amazed that Dick Cheney has any admirers on FR at all.
The showers are, there is 12 of them just like junior high.
The Toilets were not.
I can’t imagine such a total lack of privacy,especially when I’m being ogled by another woman.
For now.
There is no longer any truth to the news, and there is no reason to ever believe that what homos say they want is what they're really after.
What happens when a fag-priest isn't available and a homo has to "get married" right away, because he's being deployed in hours? Don't tell me they won't be forced into it eventually.
I think his brain stopped working with his heart.
You did not. You did shower with everybody.
We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexualism, racism, wacko environmentalism, judicial activism, etc.
You, troll, are in deep trouble. As well as all other trolls who are trashing Jim's rules on the subject.
We do not support the homosexual agenda on FR. If that’s what you wish to do, you’ll have to do it elsewhere. Read and heed.
Everyone is a clone these days..... pathetic..... and I like Dick Cheney
>>They aren’t occult forces are they?
Ocular : sight
Cult : hidden
Ocular + Cult = Occult — “Hidden from Sight”
The Eunuchs have been in the religious woodwork for as long as there has been religious woodwork to hide in.
They are a consistent element within the internal perversion of every historical instance of theocratic tyranny where
“COMMERCE BETWEEN MASTER AND SLAVE IS DESPOTISM”
and from which “TO SECURE THESE RIGHTS, governments are instituted among men” -— one of the requisite elements toward achieving that end being the prohibition against state establishments of religion.
No state religious woodwork = no Eunuch termites perverting and eating the Republic from within.
