DADT: Do Some Policies Work too Well?

Our lamest of lame duck Congress is considering among other liberty destroying policies the repeal of what’s become known as “don’t ask, don’t tell”, in regards to sexual orientation of military recruits and service people. It was begun during the Clinton administration as a compromise as to the eligibility of homosexual (PC word... gay) recruits. Lotsa self-righteous posturing and grandstanding went on back then and is going on still today for public consumption! Leads one to contemplate what tis all about!

IMHO "Don't ask, don't tell" is a problem for liberals because it’s just too dang successful! DADT to me is a good policy for life. When I need a mechanic, plumber or other service, I have yet to ask their sexual orientation. I ask for references as to them being the best as what they do. If God forbid, I was in a car crash… I would NOT ask or care what the religion, race or sexual orientation of the hero who pulled me from the flaming wreck! I would just be eternally thankful!

The military since DADT has been effective (whenever allowed to be)... gay service folks how ever many, seem to have contributed... which leads to the "problem". In the minds of Lefties, it has NOT produced enough CHAOS and CONFLICT! So they MUST try to make a policy that does! The Left continually agitates and exploits all differences, cultural, class, racial, ethnic and… sexual orientation. The goal always to create and maintain strife among people who normally could get along! Less we become aware who the REAL enemy is! In truth the “tolerant” Left is TOTALLY intolerant of tolerance! They get their power from division, envy, greed and anger! If ya don’t believe me… ask Keith Olbermann or anyone at MSNBC!!

ANY policy the uber-left "progressives" implements MUST continually agitate and exploit all differences1 The goal being to create hate and distrust among us "lessers" who if left alone would get along! That way we don't discover who the REAL enemy is!

What I don’t get, and it could be because I don’t know the details, is that within the last 5 years, the offices I worked in had sexual harassment training where you learned that you could not even mention the word sex without the radar going up and a documented warning was issued. So how is the repeal of not talking about sexual preferences being legally upheld against the sex whisper harassment laws?

Put all the queers in the same unit and send them where the fighting is the thickest. Repeat as necessary.

For anyone unaware of it and still supporting Bolton for POTUS 2012, the following is his position on DADT:

Asked about the president’s plan to repeal ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell,’ Bolton said he is generally in favor of allowing anyone who wants to serve their country in the military to do so. “I don’t have any trouble with that [repealing ‘Don’t Ask, ‘Don’t Tell] assuming it is done in a way that is respectful of the people in the military who have great difficulty with it,” he said. “I don’t think there is any good answer to the question why shouldn’t gays and lesbians who want to serve their country be allowed to do it.”

While he told TheDC social issues “aren’t where I spend a lot of my time,” Bolton said he opposes abortion and has no problem with gay marriage – indeed, he said that gay marriage is “going to happen.” But, he added, “they are fundamentally issues to be resolved politically, primarily at the state level. And I think the notion of creating a constitutional right to abortion or a constitutional right to gay marriage is a mistake.”

Once you understand that most (Orwellian word): “Progressive” policies are by design schizophrenic... the goal being you never really KNOW the rules (sorta like with women). The plan is to keep us all in a constant state of tension and uncertainty. What’s true today is not true tomorrow, what “right” today is “wrong” tomorrow. Once you understand it’s not intended to make sense, it starts to make sense. Tyranny requires an ignorant, insecure, passive, defeated and depressed populace to succeed. All is described by Saul Alinsky.
