As many liberal positions as he may take, I find it ironic that he isn't at least credited by Republicans with making a piece of legislation that Republicans actively fight to protect against Democrat opposition (and Log Cabin Republicans). Give the man some credit here, is this executive order illegible to be called conservative because a Democrat introduced it? Come on, people.

Revision as of 20:45, December 5, 2016
If nobody has any objections, I am going to remove the phrase "Openly' from the article. Don't ask don't tell allows homosexuals in the military, but they may not be open about it (That would be the "Don't Tell clause). If anybody objects, please change it back.
Attacks on Clergy
Line removed about attacks on clergy. The claim is sourced by one link and further research on the name of the chaplain allegedly involved in the incident does not reveal anything about him being attacked by anyone. --HarabecW 00:27, 18 May 2011 (EDT)

Is Bill Clinton as liberal as you say?

- When Don't ask, don't tell is defended by republicans, they are going against their party. Those folks are often called RINOs (Republicans in name only) because they act as though they were democrats. Just because some people who call themselves republicans defend this, doesn't mean they are true republicans--perhaps they are just caving to the pressure of "political correctness" or perhaps they are complete traitors. Either way, they do not represent the party as a whole. This in general is probably why Trump won--people were fed up with "the establishment" republicans, a.k.a. RINOs. --David B (TALK) 10:32, 5 December 2016 (EST)
