Once again the GOP is getting ready to lube up and fuck LGBT Americans. I can't say that we are surprised that Senator Corker (R-TN) and the GOP are threatening to walk away from the new START Treaty if Majority Leader Reid brings DADT to a vote this weekend, but it does beg the question: Why does the GOP want to dismantle America's national security?
Don't Ask, Don't Tell is a disastrous military policy that has stripped the armed forces of some of the most talented and dedicated personnel. Translators, intelligence officers and myriad other servicemembers have been given the boot because of who they love, not their job performance. The House of Representatives thinks it is ludicrous and voted yesterday for repeal. So, why on earth can't Senate Republicans get their heads out of their collective ass and do something good for the country?
Let's reduce the global stockpile of nuclear weapons and allow all Americans to serve openly in the armed forces. I'm pretty sure that would be a win-win situation for our national security. But then, unlike the GOP, I actually value our national security.
