Over the hill boy's, lets lets flank 'em and surprise 'em from the rear!

The Senate has just voted to end debate on a bill that would lift the ban on gays serving openly in the military, essentially clearing the measure for passage and signature by the president.
Lawmakers voted 63 to 33 to end debate on the current policy, put in place by former president Bill Clinton, informally known as "don't ask don't tell."
The Senate could vote on final passage of the measure as early as today but it will most likely happen on Sunday or Monday.
"We are on the verge of ending 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' for good," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said after the vote "This is one of those moments in our history when we stepped up and squared our policies with the values this nation was founded upon."

I am opposed to profanity on this board - so there is nothing I have to say at the present moment.
>> “This is one of those moments in our history when we stepped up and squared our policies with the values this nation was founded upon.”
Which value is that? Sodomy or just good fashion sense?

..squared our policies with the values this nation was founded upon.”
Sooo..the signers of the DOI were gay?
This will destroy the US military, just as it has destroyed the Israeli, UK, Australian, Canadian and Germnan armed forces.
Also, their uniforms should be as flamboyant as possible, for as Robin Williams said, "If you are going to clash, then clash".
Unemployment is nearing 10%, the country is broke and and all Stinky Harry Reid can think about is homosexuals and illegal aliens. Weird.
The U.S. Senate is of lower character than any high-security US prison.
The utter demolition and incineration of the Republic and its institutions continues unabated thanks to ZERO supposed "checks & balances."
any assholes who supported this have been traitors and upheld the commie manifesto to any who say this is not big deal then get your head out of your ass as this now means they can say they can die for their country but cannot marry therefore they should be overturning DOMA, then it is the law recognized by the feds therefore teach it in schools and then make Revs etc marry them otherwise they are hate crimes
I will donate all my money now to any traitor to the military voted for this in the GOP
I knew this would happen. I’m slightly miffed, but not really outraged.
While what you say may be true, I will continue to support our military as an institution. I see no other option.
Ah yes, the plantiff whine of the globalist ... ‘America should be just like the rest of the degenerating world.’ Are your kneepads a bit too tight, cutting off circulation to your brain?

and to think of the new opportunities for mottos and songs songs
Off we go with the wild blue flaunters pinkies high into the sky...
Dear Senator:
Before you vote on “Don’t Ask – Don’t Tell” you should be able to clearly answer the following:
“What does it mean to be openly gay in the military?”
By voting to repeal, it can probably be assumed that you are condoning consenting sexual encounters in the shower or the barracks.
It means that the gay lifestyle language and physical mannerisms may be displayed while in uniform and that ‘flippy’ salutes must be tolerated.
It means that cross dressing on off duty hours is acceptable when visiting social establishments on post.
And surely it means that any objection to the above will be met with instant litigation and possible charges brought against those in command.
Why else would this bill be necessary?
Senator, please explain to the American public how these possibilities may be addressed before you help democrats pass this ridiculous law.
If Reid is lucky, sometime in his life he’ll advance upward to merely have the description of ‘suck’.
First, DADT is not dead. The Congress can come back and address it next year.
Second, sorry Dingy, our precious country was not founded on queers and fagots.
I suspect ending DADT will have a profoundly negative affect on our military.
To start off with, we need a list of Republicans who voted for this. They all have to go.
Then we go after the Blue Dog Democrats, who pretend to be so very moral--except when they vote.
Then I now think it's confirmed that we have to get rid of the Senate leaders. They are failing in their leadership duties again, unless they told all the RINOs who voted for this that they would lose all their committee appointments. He's never done that before, so I seriously doubt whether he did it this time, either. I presume that means John Kyl, among others.
As I posted on another thread, I’ll no longer advise young people to sign up. I’m sure there are many others who feel the same. The military can troll for their new recruits in the gay bars.
Please revise and extend your remark of above to be clear.
Why would they block the DREAM act, but press on for the gays? Is it possible that the gays have more power than we ever imagined? I want to see the list of the R’s who bent over for this.
so what is the policy now? ask and do tell?
One of the worst things they could do
Interesting, the Military as an Institution has just been co-opted, should we continue to pour hundreds of billions into it?
As for the political issue, watch, the “real” vote will be 51-49 with the scum GOPers who voted for this motion to come to a vote then voting against it so they can proclaim “I did not support it”.
Democrats= party of perversion and communism. Now making the US a nation not worth fighting for.
Kinda gives new meaning to never leaving your buddies behind......
Gays have more money than Latinos.
our finest do deserve better, than having to troll gay bars.
Is there any way they can reverse it? It would require passage of a new bill, and Obama would veto it for sure.
So I think we're stuck with it for two years, at least.
isn’t it funny to see social libs on this board?
that poster digs race baiting too...small wonder eh?
Yes, we're taking names today. I heard there were four. My guess would be the Maine sisters (Snowe and Collins), Brown, and Kirk.
This isn’t about gays or rights. This is the liberal agenda telling regular Americans that our value system of family, God, country, and hard work is outdated and must be abolished in favor of the new. The fact that we can’t stop it and our congresspeople are ignoring our demands as well as common sense is the evidence that something very evil and rotten has infected us as a nation.
Wrong, imo. Spoken from a Dad of a Marine. Open gays are going to find a hard road to travel. Ultimately, they will learn the truth of the adage “Be careful what you ask for.”
They (the homos) have not thought this all the way out.
I can image now the gay pride parades on military bases.
Jim Thompson wouldn’t stand for it! But then, Jim Thompson is da MAN!
You are a useful idiot.
Time for a BIG tea party.
And perhaps more dirt on the rascals in the Congress?
Well, there goes the shelf price for Vaseline petroleum jelly over at every AAFES worldwide!
Great point.
WHY is a Queer Military a priority-issue at all for the US Senate?
I wish I could blame Reid alone, but 62 other treasonous, treacherous Senate-slime also deemed this Priority #1.
Folks, there are clearly forces behind the scenes sabotages the Republic. If something's not done soon, the Senate is apt to vote change the American Flag to this:
NOT the intention of the Founders. OR the US Military. OR of the citizenry of this Republic.
Well, there goes the shelf price for Vaseline petroleum jelly over at every AAFES worldwide!
Well, there goes the shelf price for Vaseline petroleum jelly over at every AAFES worldwide!
Well, there goes the shelf price for Vaseline petroleum jelly over at every AAFES worldwide!
Well and truly written! ... And just watch the progressives infecting FR try to spin it now ...
The end game is the deconstruction of the military. The left is using the gay issue as a tool just as they use the environment as a tool, race as a tool, gender as a tool, children as a tool, food as a tool ...
One look at Fairy Reid tells you he is a FAG.
