one of the supporters of the repeal, The New York Times.
“Well, that is the position of the new Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, Liza Minnelli,” Coulter said. “It will not affect morale of the troops or troop readiness. I just insist that it go both ways. If we’re going to have gays in the military, I demand that there be heterosexuals at The New York Times.”
According to the firebrand commentator, the repeal was done in the name of diversity.
“Oh why can’t we have diversity? That’s my other point. The Marines don’t want it. The Army doesn’t want it – the ones who actually do the fighting, as opposed to the translators like Bill [Schultz, ‘Red Eye’ co-host],” Coulter said. “Why can’t you have diversity?

He countered that even though this policy was decided upon by civilians in Congress that may not have expertise on the military, it is still an essential part of American democracy for civilians to control the military.

The Employee “Free Choice” Act takes away a worker’s fundamental right to a private ballot in union organizing elections. Big union bosses would bypass free and fair union elections supervised by the National Labor Relations Board for a “card check” system where they could intimidate and coerce workers to sign cards authorizing the formation of a union. Under this bill, once the union has obtained a mere majority of workers signing authorization cards, a union is immediately recognized with no further discussion or debate and no secret ballot election. In contrast to a private ballot election, a card check system allows the union and employer alike to see where you stood
