The symbolism of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” repeal cannot be underestimated. It’s not just that for the civil-rights community, it represents a long-awaited extension of the historic arc — first blacks, then women, now gays. It was also Obama decisively transcending the triangulated trimming of Bill Clinton, who instituted “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the first place. Even more subtly and understatedly, the repeal represents the taming of the most conservative of the nation’s institutions, the military, by a movement historically among the most avant-garde. Whatever your views, that is a cultural landmark...

Gee Charlies "people"(animals) sticking their wankers in unsanitary places as a protected class, the same as the black struggle. Charles, I hardly knew thee.

I thought Charles was brighter than that....even MANY Democrat Blacks have a hard time with the “gay” issue. He really is outta touch.

Charles, I hardly knew thee.

I wonder, who anointed him (Charles Krauthammer) as a
"strong" conservative...the usual suspects (NYT et al)?...
I'm NOT saying' he's a CINO...it maybe just (another) case of "the smartest guy
in the crowd again" syndrome again?
