Rep. Patrick Murphy on Repealing 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell'

Today, the House is considering H.R. 2965, Repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," sponsored by Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-PA). This discriminatory and harmful policy has weakened America's security by depriving our nation of the service of thousands of gay and lesbian troops who have served their country honorably -- and forcing even larger numbers of troops to lie about who they are. The House passed this repeal, as an amendment to the DOD bill, in May 2010 by a vote of 234 to 194, and it is long overdue for the Senate to pass it as well.

Medal of Honor winners, heroic POWs, generals and admirals say it will destroy the U.S. military. Veterans say they're disgusted and fear for the nation's future. And demoralized active-duty soldiers are threatening not to re-enlist, or to retire early.

@biozamadotcom Not only has he served, he won a Bronze Star!!!! Hope I answered your question! Adieu!

@biozamadotcom oh please, DADT is going to stay dead, along with the other bat shit ways of thinking in history.

@aswar87

That claim was not made by me, it was made by employees of Google.

Also, it's not all I've got, but I'm not really into this full time, merely an objective observer

Furthermore, whether Bohemian or Belizean grove, homos do discriminate, and imposing the tyranny of the minority on the majority is bad business.

In the long run, it will not work.

@aswar87 It has not been accepted on a national level.

@biozamadotcom huh..... I guess the me, me, me thing would apply to people who think I'm supposed to give a shit that they own a gun.

As for the dummy claim that gay people earn more by mandate..... yeah, is that rumor all you've got?

@aswar87

What about the civil rights of google employees where it has been stated than homos earn more than heteros?

What about the civil rights of those who are discriminated against because they are NOT homo? it does happen.

The me, me, me is more of a narcissistic behavioral aspect of homosexuals who engage in non stop attention seeking behavior.

@biozamadotcom If the Civil Rights Act was up for a vote right now, would you just snicker and whine and say

"I don't care about that..... me, me, me"?
