Military says no ‘separate but equal’ living facilities for gays

Though Congress still hasn't settled the ultimate fate of the the Pentagon's "don't ask, don't tell" ban on military service openly gay soldiers, one thing is clear: The military won't be establishing gay-segregated facilities to allay some service members' qualms about sharing bathrooms and showers with openly gay comrades in arms.
The Pentagon has been on the defensive over its survey on gays, which has drawn flak from advocacy groups for gay veterans and service members since military researchers sent it to 400,000 service members last week.
On Friday, Department of Defense spokesman Geoff Morrell slammed gay advocacy groups for criticizing the survey, saying their accusations “have been inflammatory in the worst case, and misleading in the best case,” according to the American Forces Press Service.
Servicemembers United, an advocacy group for gay and lesbian members of the military, has called the questions "biased and derogatory." Citizens for Repeal, another group for gays in the military, says the survey is “unprofessional, unprecedented and unnecessary." A legal advocacy group for gays and lesbians has warned them not to fill out the survey, saying that so long as the gay ban is in force, their replies could be used to out them and discharge them from the military. (The Pentagon says participants' identities will remain private, and denies that any respondent would be outed or discharged as a result of completing the questionnaire.)
Morrell defended the portion of the survey that asks about "privacy" concerns, such as how a respondent would feel sharing an open bay shower with a gay comrade.
“We think it would be irresponsible to conduct a survey that didn’t address these questions, because when ‘don't ask, don't tell’ is repealed, we will have to determine if there are any challenges in those particular areas, any adjustments that need to be made in terms of how we educate the force, or perhaps even facility adjustments that need to be made to deal with those scenarios," Morrell said Friday, according to the American Forces Press Service.
Writers at liberal blogs Talking Points Memo, ThinkProgress and Americablog interpreted Morrell's statement on "facility adjustments" to mean the military could consider creating separate bathing or living facilities for gay troops, since the questions on privacy focused on sharing living spaces with gay comrades. But on Monday, Morrell told Igor Volsky of ThinkProgress that segregated facilities are "absolutely off the table."
However, Morrell told Stephanie Condon of CBS that the military may consider small facility changes like adding shower curtains. "We don't know if any adjustments will be required, but we need to survey the force to get an idea of what their privacy concerns are," he told Condon.
Morrell said the survey is not a referendum on the repeal of the policy, but rather research to aid Pentagon officials in implementing a repeal if and when it comes to pass.
In May, the House of Representatives voted to end the ban pending the military's completion of its internal policy review. The Senate has yet to vote on the repeal.

MSNbc's Open worship of the Messiah
It should be glaringly obvious that MSNbc openly worship's the Messiah.
They are not a news channel.
They have become the Progressive Agenda Church for the Annointed One.

Liberal Media lives in Denial - CNN
CNN, and MSNbc live in denial that the Tea Party movement has any bite on the future elections. They see the people as being lemmings which must believe the spew which they utter in support of their Progressive Movement and dumbing down of America.

Saturday Night Live - Obama did NOTHING!
Priceless! Finally someone on television is willing to go for his throat for FAILURE!
Bill Clinton on Iraq - His words! His rationale! His position!
The Iraq war was started by Bill Clinton; NOT George Bush.
The Anti-War LEFT wishes to have you believe an "ILLEGAL WAR" was conducted by George Bush.
The words of Bill Clinton state another view...
"Heavy as they are, the costs of action must be weighed against the price of inaction. If Saddam defies the world and we fail to respond, we will face a far greater threat in the future. Saddam will strike again at his neighbors. He will make war on his own people.
And mark my words, he will develop weapons of mass destruction. He will deploy them, and he will use them."

How we should see the Obamabott "Yes we can!" crowd now
Now that one year in office has come and gone...
No Falsies- Calling you on it
What is a Falsie?
One recognized description of a "FALSIE" is the following;
intellectually a 34A bra size, no substance, no observed intellect, no debate capacity, clearly believes in a wannabe black man as the Savior Messiah as "it" walks around mindless dribbling on itself muttering "Yes we can!" and in madness screaming out the words; "Hope and Change!" randomly at small furry scurrying animals.
How much does Obama cost you? Here ya go... FOR THE RECORD! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeOU9Aqt6cA

Conservatives are concerned - We are Americans too!
Below is a copied post of http://mediamatters.org/research/201001300005#comments
It is my personal stance that many of these comments below do reflect the ongoing actions and efforts of the progressive movement led by Senator Barry Obama of Chicago. While he may retain the residency of the Nation's White House he has yet to prove he QUALIFiED to be President of the United States of America.

Conservative media frequently invoke socialism, communism, fascism to attack Obama's agenda
Media Matters for America has documented numerous instances in which conservative media invoked socialism, communism and fascism to vilify health care reform, president Obama and congressional Democrats. For example:
•Limbaugh's website claims of Obama: "His education plan is Maoist ... and he is otherwise a Bolshevik. ... [H]e would be a Stalinist if he thought he could get away with it"
•Beck on O'Reilly Factor: "We are really truly stepping beyond socialism and starting to look at fascism"; compares proposals to Nazi Germany
•Limbaugh orders that there be no compromise on health reform: "You don't compromise with socialists"
•Hannity: Obama administration is pushing "the single biggest power grab and move towards socialism in the history of the country"
•Limbaugh compares Obama health care plan to Nazi policies
•Beck: "I was wrong. Our government is not marching down the road towards communism or socialism... they're marching us to a brand of non-violent fascism... towards 1984"
•Limbaugh: "Adolf Hitler, like Barack Obama, also ruled by dictate"
•Beck says Obama can be considered a socialist, because Marxism and progressivism are "the same thing"
•Dick Morris' self-confessed conspiracy theory: Obama "wants his plan to fail...so that he can make the case for bank nationalization and vindicate his dream of a socialist economy"
•Days after decrying those who say Democrats are "trying to turn us into communist Russia," Beck claimed Obama "has Marxist tendencies"
•Rush pulls out numerous smears to attack health care reform -- "Nazis," "Cuba," "totalitarian systems"
•In column criticizing health care reform, Cal Thomas invokes the Holocaust: "Great horrors don't begin in gas chambers"
•Limbaugh fearmongers about health-care reform: you will be sent to "some reeducation camp if you don't lose weight"
•Pat Robertson declares health reform bills "dangerous," "rushed through" by president "with a socialist bent"
•Williams: Health reform proponents may not support Mao's murders, but they support that "level of government control"
•Limbaugh wants to be precise: "fascism is a more apt illustration of what Obama is establishing"
•In CNBC host Cramer's "U.S.S.A.": "Comrade[]" Obama is a "Bolshevik" who is "taking cues from Lenin"
•NRO's Geraghty: Obama's health care plan is "really more Trotskyite in nature"
•Wash. Times invokes Nazism, publishes Hitler photo while criticizing health-care provisions in stimulus
•"Mr. Independent" Dobbs repeatedly smears Obama, progressives as "socialist"
•Quinn agrees with caller that Democrats "took over the country without firing a shot," adds "so did Hitler"
•Savage: Obama "is a neo-marxist fascist dictator in the making"
•Quinn attacks "our undocumented president" who is "a communist"
•UPDATED REPORT: Conservative media push 75-year-old "socialized medicine" smear against health care reform
