EDITORIAL: Homosexuals disappointed again
The Washington Times ^ | February 4, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 02/03/2010 8:23:35 PM PST by Abakumov

Homosexuals waiting to serve openly in the armed forces will have to keep waiting. President Obama is effectively putting this issue to bed until after the November elections....

Mr. Obama's supporters among the homosexual activist community have been increasingly restive over his failure to address the issue. A liberal Democratic president with huge margins in both houses should be able to deliver on such an important election promise, but Mr. Obama lacks stamina even on issues he says he cares about passionately. In order to claim some forward movement, the administration is reportedly constructing a more lenient enforcement framework, but this had already been the practice under George W. Bush's administration, during which gay discharges dropped more than 50 percent.

I suppose the fag contingent would rather Obama have brought on a Republican stampede in November.

LOL. Thanks for the laugh.

MSNBC is reporting on this like it will be passed by congress tomorrow. They got all their generals saying homos should be able to openly look for sexual partners in the military and will make us stronger. Such crap!

Unfortunate headline, eh?

And is it considered disrespectful to refer to the current President of the United States as "Mr. Obama" not just once, but *5* times in an article???

Guess this is true!!!

Gates maybe smarter than we think. The brass knew they have a idiot Marxist as CIC for the next 2 years so they have to come up with ways to fool the ZerO. That “1 year to make a panel to study the effects of homosexuals for transition” was a good one.

Hm, did somebody change the headline? “Obama sticks it to gays again” was the headline I was referring to as ‘unfortunate’...

It all makes sense now...

1) hate crimes attached to the military budget

2) Miranda Rights to combatants, treating them as citizens

3) dumping the 'Don't ask-Don't tell'

Yep, they have a new strategy...all military will declare themselves gay... and since all combatants are to have citizens rights, they can be charged as citizens, too!

There will be a new Cpl Klinger Division! The enemy even looks at our guys funny, they're history--hate crime! Victim/special class warfare! We will just PC that enemy into surrender ooh-rah!.Photobucket

Well, ya know, I can tolerate their "lifestyle" since our PC society is forcing me to and as long as they don't go getting in my face with it! But I will NOT accept it as something ordained by God and something to be sanctioned in marriage or something that I must become enthralled with and treat as "perfectly normal" just because they are also human and American, etc., etc., etc...

Just because they are too lazy and gutless to pursue happiness with memebers of the opposite sex in a normal, potentially reproductive relationship for the benefit of continuing the human race, doesn't mean I must honor some artificial extra-constitutional "right(s)" as an abused member of some racial minority. It's just not gonna happen!!!

I know this is difficult when some family member chooses this route to supposed happiness, or when some friend of the family, or even some admired person like Dick Cheney has a family member with such a "bent," but that's just tough!!!

I have freedom of association in this country and I will not be forced to act out some PC "acceptance" of this "lifestyle" that is a choice, not an inheritantly natural condition. Expecially on the field of combat, or it's preparatory excercises or institutions commissioned with defending my nation!!!

We keep letting them push their way in the schools and into the military and use hate crimes laws to silence the church and anyone inthr scientific community who dares oppose them and it won’t belong before everyone every man woman and child will be forced to bow to the legion of deviants or else.

Let the dykes in cause they can probably fight, but jeez keep the nancy boys out! Just what we need, a bunch of limp wrists running around with weapons. They’ll break all of France’s records for fast surrender.

The only thing Americans can agree on anymore is that Obama is a major disappointment.

Max Klinger never claimed to be gay, he only claimed to be crazy—in fact, in one episode the psychiatrist Sidney Freedman suggested he might be gay, and Max freaked out because it was the farthest thing from the truth.

You need a different poster boy for DADT!

I believe that usage is in the New York Times, AP and other style books. First reference in an article is to “President” whoever. After that it is “Mr.” whoever.
