Don't Ask, Don't Tell

I'm losing patience, people. I see our country quickly falling back into the hands of Christian, right-wing fundamentalists, who use religion as a scapegoat to justify their immorality. Intolerance is as permeating and prevalent as it's always been. Humanity seems to need a sinner to stone.
Our government is suppose to protect us from these gross infractions against our basic human rights. Our government is not a Christian government. Pull God out of the equation and what justification do you have to discriminate against homosexuals? None. You might as well tell women they can't serve unless they march off to battle in drag.
Congressional Republicans are not representing the people of the United States of America when they refuse to allow a topic to be debated. Obama is seen as weak and ineffective because he has tried for the past two years to make bipartisan decisions with a political party which is not open to debate. The right wing would much rather clamp hands over their ears and spout manipulative nonsense.
The time has come to stop being nice. We aren't going to win on November 2nd if we keep giving in to right. Honestly, it's probably too late to turn it around. People are too stupid to read a newspaper or Google a little research.
You know why Democrats are doing so poorly? Because we have tact. Obama has tact. Obama saw a country that had been divided and he wanted to unite it with bipartisanship. Well folks, compromise doesn't exist. We're all too selfish for that to work. So, fellow Democrats, let's go ahead and take off our gloves and fight like the future of our public school systems depend on us, because quite frankly, it does.
