A recent attempt to repeal the authoratorian law, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” has Failed. Well, actually it wouldn’t have, there was a Majority, infact there was a complete 13 vote majority (56-43), The Republicans used a filibuster to ensure that it didn’t even go to debate. What has this country come to, when debate can not even occur, mind you this is debate, not a decision, yet the Republicans seem too concerened with election fever that they are not willing to do the right thing. Both Senators from Maine, though they support the repealing of the act, failed to step over the line to aid the destruction of bigotry itself. Think of it this way Senators, while you are sitting on your chairs voting for Bigotry, Homophobia, and unethical acts that shed negative light on the United States, these people want only to serve in the united states armed forces, to make a difference in the world. These men and women want to put their lives on the line and you won’t let them. 13,389 people have been discharged from the military due to this unconstitutional act that you so defend. Pardon my asking, but isn’t it a little oxymoronic, discharging you cannon fodder that you so need for your unethical wars? America contiues to thrive in an air of discrimination, but, that’s nothing new. Blacks, Hispanics, Women, Japanese, you name it the discrimination has been there, and what a surprise who are the majority of the opposition in this act? Old White Men. Grow up Republicans, and stop shoving in the sandbox.
