I think it’s funny that the New York Times<\/a> and dicksmith<\/a> are pulling their hair out because Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell might not get passed this year. First, the NYT;<\/p>\n

Prospects for Congress to authorize repeal of the \u201cdon\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell\u201d policy face new uncertainties as time runs out for the Senate to act and strong objections remain among Republicans and the most senior ranks of the military.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Do you know what I just realized? DADT was still in force as a policy last year and the year before…and the year before. So what’s the rush? Dicksmith says;<\/p>\n

Let’s be realistic. Repeal of DADT has to be accomplished before the end of the year. Otherwise, there will not be enough vertebrates in Congress, once the new session takes over, to get the repeal through. If we don’t want our force weakened and unit cohesion inhibited for another undetermined amount of time before a new Congress with testicular fortitude is elected, the harmful policy has got to go in this Congress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I think testicular fortitude is probably the wrong simile to use in a DADT discussion. Well, unless, ya know, it’s the most important aspect of the discussion to dicksmith. But at least he’s honest about what he thinks of us “invertebrates”.<\/p>\n

I don’t think waiting on DADT to be repealed is having much effect on our forces. Not as much as dicksmith would like us to think. There are a whole lot of dead terrorists who would take exception with dicksmith’s contention.<\/p>\n

Besides, the gay crowd put their hopes in the Obama rhetoric for the last two years and nothing has happened, what has changed that makes them think anything will change in the next couple of weeks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
