The Wrong Side of History

Joint Chiefs Chairman Mullen supports right of gays to serve in military

So Mullen and Gates are for repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell". Colin Powell is on board for a review. But McCain, the majority of his fellow Republicans, and a few conservative Democrats think they know better than the highest ranking member of our armed forces. Talk about hypocrisy. Does anyone remember when Obama was weighing the troop increase in Afghanistan and the Republicans wouldn't stop bashing him for "second guessing" McChrystal?

People need to realize that opponents of equal rights will always come up with excuses as to why now is "not the time". It happened in the civil rights movement during the 60's, and it's happening now in regards to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" and gay marriage. If history has taught us anything, it is that people don't give up the fight for equal rights, and eventually, the day will come when they get them. I wish people would take a hard look at which side of history they want to be on.
