“I don?t know that we would accomplish a whole lot more.”
Bob Elliston
“We are not a nation that says: 'don't ask, don't tell'. We are a nation that says: ‘out of many, we are one’. We are a nation that welcomes the service of every patriot. We are a nation that believes all men and women are created equal. It is my honor to sign this bill into law.”
Barack Obama
“Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.”
Dr. Seuss
“I don?t want to put everything into one game. We have a lot more we?d like to accomplish. But we always said our goal is to win the Big East championship, and I think to back away from that two days before the game would be foolhardy.”
Jim Calhoun
“Rather than the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," I support legislation that denies ALL human beings, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or sexual preference, the "right" to slaughter or be slaughtered. This incessant insistance upon the equality of victimization plays right into the hands of the war makers.”
Camillo Mac Bica
“I think our addiction to war is nurture rather than nature. We learn to hate, learn to want more, learn to kill. It's what we teach our kids everyday on TV, in the movies, on video games, etc. We mythologize war and conceal its horror. We have managed a scenario in which we have disinfranchised segments of our population, women and gays, demanding equal rights to become victims and killers on the battlefield”
“The Muslim nations of Iraq and Afghanistan, where America is fighting two wars, are opposed to homosexuality. Changing 'Don’t ask, don’t tell' would offend the terrorists in such a way that could put soldiers — and America — at risk of further terrorist attacks.”
Sen Gary Nodler
