The Daily Background
| Stupid, stupid bigots

Well, I must say it’s encouraging to see Congress taking steps in the direction of a repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell. The latest move towards repeal is the House voting to allow military commanders to repeal the ban themselves, 60 days after the Pentagon completes its review process in December. Seems like a bit of a political dodge to make somebody else pull the trigger on the repeal itself, but whatever. It’ll get repealed and that’s what counts.
It’s also making Republicans stand up on the House floor and say stupid stuff like this:
“We are dissing the troops, that is what we are doing,” said Representative Howard P. McKeon of California, senior Republican on the Armed Services Committee.
So, which is the bigger “dis,” Congressman McKeon? Either:
A. You “dis the troops” by making them serve with gays and lesbians who aren’t forced to hide their identity.
or
B. You “dis the troops” by saying they’re not mature or grown up enough to do their job just because somebody next to them isn’t 100% the same as they are.
Yes, the repeal of DADT was inevitable since the day that Clinton created it.
I want to say “beware of the law of unintended consequences,” but that simply shows *my*personal issues, which I understand are wrong, but feel that way regardless.
In other words, I’m a conflicted soul. Which must have been the same feeling that Clinton had.
Peace,
