    No, only 1 republican is saying that we should appease terrorists, not all of them.

    I'm sorry, I forgot that 1 person represented a whole political party.

    to be honest we might as well let it seem like it. If that argument on the republicans behalf gets out in the public eye it will just make it look like they are really stretching for an excuse when there is none to get rid of DADT. Personally i like the idea that there will be a sense of screwing with Al Quieda's minds with something as simple as "you got beat by an army with gay people in it" xD

    I was making fun of the fact that (most)Republicans are always accusing anyone who disagrees with their foreign policy of appeasing terrorists and pointing out the irony I didn’t mean to say that he spoke for all Republicans

    ...I'm pretty sure the terrorists will attack the US if we have gay marriage or not. I mean the USA didn't have it when they attacked in 2001 and DADT was still in full force.

    Wow. Ignorance...

    Actually, this could be a way to win over the Republicans... "Oh, you don't agree with same-sex marriage? Well NEITHER DOES THE TALIBAN! You must be a TERRORIST!"

    what offends terrorist most is that we get to watch glee before they do. They hate having to wait for someone to rip the tv show, compress it, and upload it so the can get their fix of threatening quips from the desk of sue sylvestor.

    *facepalm* because you know how much we care about the fact that we worship a wrong god (to them), or we invaded their countries and kill their members, why on earth would we try to hurt their feelings?
