Log Cabin Republicans are a well known and perennially confusing constituency of the Republican party.

I'm just bored of this whole non-controversy. Every side that has anything cogent to say agrees that DADT is stupid, even people who don't like homosexuals think having a law requiring a soldier to lie to their commanding officer is fucking retarded, not to mention all the consequences of getting found out.

If you think my post was insulting gays, you're way off the mark.

No, I understood it was against the military.

The additional comment was more or less "I already had to deal with one person who has full tilt crazy hatred against something why does it have to be two"

I. Um. So, am I the only one that thinks Constantine is just a very constant user of hyperbole? At the very least I know he's not full tilt crazy, this isn't catloaf or shinra we're talking about.

Also I guess I should tack on the thought that we might not be able to say the military is the most corrupt arm of the government, but it is certainly, by definition, the most violent and, by budget, the most wasteful.

I didn't think catloaf or shinra were full tilt crazy. They're just... When they're outraged about something, they're outraged about it. And maybe have unreasonable expectations of human behavior?

Constantine's not always using hyperbole joxam. Sometimes he just uses superbole, which is in his rights because he took home the cup in '06.

My hatred of the military has to do with 60% of deaths in Iraq being against civilians.  But I've long felt that the military has been used for imperialist aims, whether it was the invasion of Korea, of Vietnam, the strikes against Kosovo, and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.  People who always fear that the government would take our property or force us to do things at the barrel of the gun never realize that maybe we should just take away the government's guns.

I always did think it was weird that people were fighting so hard to get IN to the armed forces.

Have been out of town not listening to the news for 2 days; this came as a rather big surprise when I heard it on NPR shortly before getting home.

It's a win, and makes me feel better about the tax cut deal -- though I still don't think the tax cut extension for the rich was necessary to get a guy from Massachusetts to vote for gay rights.

EDIT:
I wonder who the two senators were that voted against cloture, but for the repeal?

Six Republicans voted to impose Cloture: Brown (R-MA), Collins (R-ME), Kirk (R-IL), Murkowski (R-AK), Snowe (R-ME), and Voinovich (R-OH).
Republicans Yes
Brown, Mass.; Burr, N.C.; Collins, Maine; Ensign, Nev.; Kirk, Ill.; Murkowski, Alaska; Snowe, Maine; Voinovich, Ohio.

So Burr and Ensign.

AHAHAHA OH DEAR.

Fearmongering at its amusing best.

EDIT: You know, it may be a total pipe dream, but the thought of 4 out of 10 Marines just up and ragequitting gives me the happy shivers all over.

Lady Gaga DADT - Be careful what you rally for

 :itsatrap:

Its pretty fucking sad that that video has the most coherent comments I've seen in a youtube video in forever. Of course, most are people telling the OP he's a stupid fucker, but whatever.

I like how the fearmongering isn't even coherent. It goes from implying that the terrorists will win to YOU WILL GET DRAFTED AND MY GOD YOU DON'T WANT TO GET DRAFTED.

It's a stupid video, but their logic sort of works: they're saying that if 4/10 Marines quit, then we'll be fucked in the war, so the draft will return.

It would be a tragedy if marines quit because they have to serve with gays, and not because of endless war.

Can people even resign on that basis? I mean, this isn't exactly a regular job we're talking about, IT'S THE MILITARY.

Last time I checked, soldiers weren't allowed to just quit because they didn't like their squaddies.
