This is what always puzzles me and it happens time and time again. The subject is 'winning' (for lack of a better word) and standing firm, having drawn a line in the sand and then...the subject 'caves' by restating their position or by apologizing.

The Boy Scouts won every court case brought up against them by the left. They were winning their position of keeping the homosexuals out and then, inexplicably, they suddenly announced a 'change' in policy which let in homosexuals and now transfreaks as well.

Chic-filet is another. Dan Cathy/Cathy family were constantly criticized for their 'marriage' position and for their charitable contributions. Their sales were soaring and the American public stood behind them when the left got vicious and started picketing stores and causing problems. Then, again inexplicably, there was a 'change' in their policy, beginning with giving to 'leftist' causes.

Look at the various stars and athletes who have stated strong moral positions through the years only to reverse course and apologize or tell everyone that what they said was not what they meant.

It's confounding to say the least.

I’ve noticed the same thing. And it is all the more a let-down for those of us who applauded and supported them when they were under attack. That’s why I don’t rush to laud someone who appears to be bravely standing on principle. It’s always possible (even probable) for even the greatest hero to fall. As the Bible says, “Call no man happy until he is dead.”

They sound like Republicans. We don't know what threats are being made behind the scenes.
