Hope you're burning in Hell, Jerry Falwell

DADT was repealed today. An important milestone in the culture wars, which are by no means over. But a huge victory nonetheless.
My view is that the Republicans have stonewalled the repeal of this absurd law because it represents a threshold. If we are to concede that heterosexuality and national security are core issues for a conservative (as opposed to liberals, who enjoy nothing better than enabling airplanes being flown into their offices as a result of homosexual shenanigans), then it becomes difficult to square the legitimizing of a group you have historically demonized as Satan's spawn by letting them be Soldiers, who Serve, and Sacrifice, so that we may be Safe, and enjoy our God-given Freedoms by going Shopping.
Just saying.
A tells me Andrew Sullivan has already said something to the effect. Well, pish.
