DADT JOSEPH LIEBERMAN X390 GETTY | ADVOCATE.COM
Sen. Joe Lieberman said Thursday that repealing “don’t ask, don’t tell”
as part of the National Defense Authorization Act is no longer a question of
votes, it’s a question of process.
“I am confident that we have more than 60 votes prepared to take up the
Defense authorization with the repeal of ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ if only
there will be a guarantee of a... 阅读全帖 |

military ban on sodomy and bestiality be repealed, a House-Senate conference

发帖数: 61690 | 7 中新社休斯敦4月21日电 据美国人口普查局公布的最新数据，美国人口在2013年仅增0.
72%，为80年来最低增长率。美国对移民的吸引力下降，国内出生率下跌到几十年来最
低，其“罪魁祸首”是经济衰落。
“你知道美国的人口增长处于大萧条以来的最低点吗？”美国参议院候选人萨维斯
(Robert Sarvis)公开表示，“若想改变这一趋势，就应该支持放宽移民法。”
人口普查局数据显示，美国人口增长比率曾在经济大衰退期的1933年触底，仅有0.
59%；随后开始逐渐上升，1950年达到峰值2.05%；直到2009年一直徘徊在1%上下。
2010年，随着美国慢慢从经济危机中复苏，人口增长率骤降至0.84%，2012年是0.
74%，2013年仅为0.72%，已经达到了经济大衰退后近80年来的最低点。
布鲁金斯研究所人口统计学专家弗雷(William Frey)表示，美国的人口增长是和经
济密切联系在一起的，经济情况不好时，夫妇就会推迟生儿育女。
美国疾病控制和预防中心数据表明，2012年美国15至44岁的女性中，只有12.6%的
人有孩子，创下了1940年以来的最低出生率纪录。
此外，本世纪初开... 阅读全帖 |

Senate DADT Vote Fails
By Kerry Eleveld
The Senate dealt a near-fatal blow to “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal
Thursday when it failed to advance the bill to which the measure was
attached, the National Defense Authorization Act, by a vote of 57-40.
But immediately following the action, Senators Joe Lieberman, Mark Udall,
and Susan Collins breathed new life into the effort by vowing to introduce a

that military chaplains may officiate in same-sex wedding ceremonies of

发帖数: 29846 | 10 By Robert Oscar Lopez
As Mike Bates at NewsBusters points out, gay-themed news stories have
reached an absurd prominence lately. He was flummoxed by the amount of time
devoted by Don Lemon (CNN) to same-sex marriages in New York:
Lemon devoted most of the hour-long program to stories of men marrying men
and women marrying women. Less than ten minutes were spent on a potential
debt ceiling deal in Washington. The Norwegian tragedy warranted about four
minutes of air time.
