WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has formally repealed the ban on gays serving openly in the military.

Administration officials say Obama on Friday signed a certification ending the 17-year-old "don't ask don't tell" policy.

No matter what, the American people are pleased with another liberal “change.” At least according to their voter behavior

Glad to be a civilian today.

I guess the nation will just have to learn the hard way.

They passed it under a smoke screen of manufactured Media crisis. I beleive it was the turmoil in the Middle East or some other detractor while it was passing the house last December.

The MSM kept it burried.

Can currently serving military members sue him for breach of contract? They enlisted under different conditions that have now changed significantly. Unfortunately, they will probably vote with their feet to the detriment of our nation.

If Obama is reelected,expect a “Gay” inaugural military parade complete with pink Abrams,condom covered pastel painted howitzers and left swish right swish transparent spike heel combat boots floating inches above the pavement.

Instead of ‘Stars and Stripes Forever” the marching song will be “The Time Warp” from The Rocky Horror Picture Show—with Obama watching from a balcony dressed as Rocky himself.

It wont be the destruction of the military, but it will be the destruction of the queers. Just watch, casualties will go up, and lots of the gays will be coming back in plastic bags. The military will take care of its own ranks.

Lifesitenews is not a reliable source.

They have a sometimes Conservative posture, sometimes Libertarian agenda. Sometimes for religious conscience, sometimes against it. Nothing consistent or coherent.

Anyone else watch that One Man Army reality show last week? Bunch of mostly ex-military special forces types competing in a series of tests/tasks. Guy that won it had never been in the military. I enjoyed the show until the end when they had to do their liberal propaganda. They asked the winner why he had never joined the military and he said they wouldn’t let him because he was gay. Obviously a set-up question to promote the queer agenda.

” Does anyone with two brain cells have any doubt that Zero is homosexual?”

1) Have you seen him throw a baseball?

2) Did you see the picture of him wincing at a judo exhibition on the WH lawn?

3) Why did that Pakistani millionaire college kid give Obama free rent, money, and a car to drive? Did you see they were nearly sitting on each others lap?

4) Obama is a homo.

I cannot imagine, for the life of me, what kind of gay man would try anything stupid in a barracks, or in the field. They would get the crap kicked out of them.

However, you WILL see a push for women to be allowed into the combat roles. They might just be able to carry all of that crap now.

With a volunteer military , how long will it be before the USA can brag about a predominate and uniquely queer fighting force?

The DADT repeal passed in December 2010.

Senate voted 65-31 with Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), Scott Brown (R-Mass.), Olympia Snowe (R-Maine), John Ensign (R-Nev.), Richard Burr (R-N.C.), and George Voinovich (R-Ohio) voting with the Democrats to repeal.

The bill passed in the House 250-175 on Dec. 16. Judy Biggert (R-IL13), Anh "Joseph" Cao (R-LA2), Charles Djou (R-HI1), Ron Paul (R-TX14), Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL18) voted for repeal. 26 Dems voted against.

Cao & Djou lost to Democrats in 2010. The others were reelected.

At least these guys will always be on point, you certainly wouldn’t want them taking up the rear.
