Nope, that is more dangerous than al qaeda, 50 foot seas, torpedoes, mines, aircraft carrier decks, and foreign port's prostitutes!

Good. Get rid of the bigots and let those who are most qualified serve. Sounds like a win/win situation.

Not that I agree with NP, but how does one being a bigot make you less qualified than one who is not a bigot?

I didn't say that it does. I say that a policy that does not exclude, allows everyone to serve and does not disqualify people who might othersie be some of the most qualified people out there.

Bigots may be qualified....but not having their hatred and bigotry as a distraction would be a benefit to our military

Where were you when Biden suggested that obama was articulate for a black man?

Where were you when Obama stated marriage is between a man and a woman?

Where were you when Obama stated his support for DOMA?

With all the promises this President has made and broken, why the surprise that he broke his promise on DADT? Our Campaigner in Chief says what certain people want to hear but does what is in his own best interest which is contrary to the radicals that voted for him.

What promise did he break. He has said all along that DADT repeal needs to come from congress.

And he had a filibuster proof Senate but didn't get it repealed. He said what the gays wanted to hear but didn't do what he said he would do. That coupled with all his economic predictions that were lies as well.

I particularly liked the one that said signing the Stimulus Plan would cap unemployment at 8%

Or

Recovery summer would create 500,000 jobs per month

Or

Economic growth would be over 4% annual

Or

That he would cut the deficit in half

Or

as I stated repeal of DADT wasn't even presented when he had a filibuster proof Senate.

Shall I go on?

And the republicans asked for a review by the pentagon, which he agreed to do and which took us to December. This is what giving in even a little bit to conservatives gets you.

When is doubt, run for other topics and hope no one notices. I know it's difficult, but can you, maybe, actually talk about the topic instead of inane whines about Obama?

There was no reason to give in at all to keep a promise. The Republicans knew what he ran on and he could have told them to go to the "back of the bus" or simply come along for the ride. Keep re-writing history. The problem is he couldn't sell his own party and it had nothing to do with the Republicans. He opened his mouth and put his foot in it again. The "smartest" man to ever hold the office doesn't seem to be that smart after all or that experienced.

And this is conservative spin. They ask for something, then blame democrats for giving it to them. It's not that the republicans are resisting what the military wants(and we know how conservatives would react if liberals did that), oh no, can't admit that, it's all democrats fault for trying to be bipartisan!

LOL, can't sell his own party so what do you do, blame Republicans. Something in your past really turned you against Republicans, wonder what it is? Obama has been in office two years and one of his major promises was to the gay community. It took him almost two years to get around to it and quite frankly tells me it was a campaign promise that he really had no intention of delivering on. He seems good at that.

His own party is sold, it's conservatives who are resisting the military on this. Keep spinning though, it's hilarious to watch.

Navy, you've also given some pretty disgusting views on rape outside of the basement. We don't expect you to be a shining example of what civilized and professional people are supposed to be like.
