"'It is time to close this chapter in our history,' Obama said in a statement. 'It is time to recognize that sacrifice, valor and integrity are no more defined by sexual orientation than they are by race or gender, religion or creed.'"
"Recognize that sacrifice"....by allowing gays and lesbians to openly volunteer having their heads blown off?
"Recognize" ...yes, yes, yes,......but realize they've always have had to keep their heads down, even in civilian life. In reality, all you've done is make it easier to volunteer having heads blown off.
Correction of past injustice is not recognizing sacrifice.
Recognizing that sacrifice would be putting those who are responsible for injustice, who say stuff like,
"If you don't stand behind our soldiers; how about standing in front of our soldiers!"
Although, DADT, on it's way to becoming history, those responsible for injustice will still be there, only now barely outvoted; not change of heart!
Have not really recognized the sacrifices made by those at the hands of those with the most to gain from injustice..
Of McCain, to believe I once said during the primaries, "I'm for Hilliary. I'm okay with Obama. But if
Ann Coulters and Rush Limbaugh
can't stand McCain that much; then McCain can't be all bad!"
That was before he picked Palin!
Been going downhill ever since. About ready to shoot the bastard myself.
"They shoot horses don't they," my mother would say. Sad; sorta like watching an old man falling off a rocking horse..
"Supporters hailed the Senate vote as a major step forward for gay rights. Many activists hope that integrating openly gay troops within the military will lead to greater acceptance in the civilian world, as it did for blacks after President Harry Truman's 1948 executive order on equal treatment regardless of race in the military.
'The military remains the great equalizer,' said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass. 'Just like we did after President Truman desegregated the military, we'll someday look back and wonder what took Washington so long to fix it.'
Sen. John McCain, Obama's GOP rival in 2008, led the opposition. Speaking on the Senate floor minutes before a crucial test vote, the Arizona Republican acknowledged he couldn't stop the bill. He blamed elite liberals with no military experience for pushing their social agenda on troops during wartime
'They will do what is asked of them,' McCain said of service members. 'But don't think there won't be a great cost.'"
