The Failure of Bible Based Bigotry to Keep DADT Alive
Repealing DADT is a civil rights issue and nothing more. It is not about imposing social change on the country and is not an attack on any religion or the family. The senators and opponents of repealing DADT are attacking the civil rights of every American, and are attempting to impose their bible-based radical agenda on all Americans. Now that the Congress has repealed DADT, maybe they can repeal religion that imposes bigotry on America.

He’s also a raging bigot who cannot escape the biblical foundation of hate he espouses.

John McCain is a war hero, and advocates permanent wars regardless the cost in lives and drain on the economy.
