Sadly our country was managed this way during World War II. On the upside we somehow keep on muddling through.

What are you talking about? This is talking about how Republican will ultimately support troops rather than try to oppose it due to the hate crime component of the bill.

Anytime something has to be thrown into a bill, lumped in as an unrelated amendmant it should be scrutinized more than it otherwise would. When something like this happens it means a congressman doesn’t believe it could be passed on its own merrits. If it can’t be passed on its own merrits should it become a law? No, not at all. While this may have moral merrits those are not the same as the merrits by which laws are passed.

Read the hate crime part of the bill. It is way more than that. It strips the first ammendment away from pastors and anyone that doesn’t support their liberal agenda. Wake up people. Just because “it always happens” doesn’t make it right. This has nothing to do with defense and should not be in the bill. It should be criminal to put it in there.

I agree with you: But that would be either German or Japanese.….…

How is that liberal cool-aid soonergrunt? Only a drone like yourself could support the Democrats shoving some idiotic hate crime amendment apparently drafted to please the gay lobby into this bill. A bill that is supposed to be providing funding for the troops on the ground, not an opprotunity to gather votes.

If our country was managed this way in WWII we would all be speaking either German or Russian by now.

Ahh, so now we see. This tactic is time-honored tradition in both parties for decades now, so it’s not like this is something new.
I guess the conservatives hate teh ghey more than they love the troops.
Of course, with as many closet-cases in their caucus as veterans, this doesn’t make any sense for them to be whining about it.

Why is there a damn Hate Crime bill attached to this? And what is this Hate Crime bill supposed to do. Smells like typical liberal opportunist BS.

I hate the way bills are amended until they are no longer germane to the reason for passing the bill. Congress is somewhat screwed up with this, but then this is pretty much how every bill is passed.
