Frothy mixture says there should be no sex at all in the military and that the repeal of DADT is a "social experiment".

That frothy mix always makes a mess.

1. Santorum's points are pointless
Of course it's social policy to allow Gays/Lesbians to openly serve. It was social policy to integrate the military as Harry S Truman did. Had Santorum been around for that he'd be making the case to keep blacks segregated in the military because it's an attempt to make "social policy" in the military.

Allowing someone who is Gay/Lesbian to serve openly in the military isn't granting "special rights" it is allowing for human rights.

If Gays and Lesbians want to travel the world and kill for Exxon/Mobil's interest they should have that choice.

7. Santorum is a little person
who has no clue... ending DADT is not a special right and it is not about sex...

2. "Sex is not an issue." Brings me back to a 1980 debate . . .
. . . when Ronald Reagan, asked about the nation's race problem, said he remembered a time before the nation knew it had a race problem.

What he meant, of course, was a time before *he* knew it. The racial minorities certainly knew it.

In the military, sex is not an issue for people whose sexuality won't lead to their being oppressed.

5. If only that gay soldier had been dying in a coma with no insurance...
The GOP audience would have cheered him.

6. The repubs are idiots
notice how he said the gays in the military are introducing social issues into it by DADT. Wow what have the right wing Christians been doing in the military, carrying guns and bibles in Iraq, trying to convert Muslims, trying to introduce laws in this country based on the old testament, What a bunch of f..king hypocrites.

8. "...move forward in conformity with what was happening in the past." Isn't that moving backwards?
