Don’t Ask, Don’t Give, Protesting I Can Support

I’m 100% for AMERICAblog’s Don’t Ask, Don’t Give campaign, especially after reading their why and examples list.

In general, I’m not one for protesting and what not. I’m almost certainly not one for single-issue voting/challenges. However, in this case, I think this is a community of the left that has long been taken for granted by Democrats and have little to show for it other than the unprovable counterfactual that things would be worse otherwise. Cold comfort doesn’t do it justice.

Personally, I’m incensed at the “internet left fringe” comment hurled at the NEM from a month ago.

I’d also be a bit more sympathetic to the political struggles of passing pro-gay legislation if, in fact, things other than gay marriage weren’t solidly supported.
