I am painfully amused by the recent fracas over “don’t ask, don’t tell” redux

The most ridiculously amusing part of this is that the media on both sides of the issue are seemingly agog that Hillary Clinton is actually suggesting the repeal of a compromise policy that her husband Bill had originally brokered.

What they don’t seem to understand is that this is simply the other shoe dropping.

The reality is that Bill himself, were he still in office, would currently no doubt be doing the same thing as Hillary, in opposing his own policy, and furthermore, I will predict that if pressed, he will suggest doing just that.

Liberals have already gotten what they want; that being that Gays and Lesbians are allowed to serve in the Military. The “Don’t ask, Don’t Tell” aspect was merely the compromise that got Conservatives on board.

Now the Liberals are trying to jettison the compromise aspect of the deal, like a stage of a rocket that was only necessary to get the desired payload into orbit.

Liberals aren’t remotely suggesting that we can go back to the pre-Clinton days where openly gay people were not allowed to serve, but rather, they want it all. They want the openly gay to be able to serve in the military, and after having compromised previously, Conservatives are left without a leg to stand on

Let this be a lesson.  When you compromise on issues of principle, you are making a deal with the Devil, and it is only a matter of time before he pulls the rug out from under you.
