I don\u2019t get it, but I don\u2019t know, maybe it\u2019s just me.<\/p>\n
I think it unfortunate that the economies of many if not all Western countries are in free fall mode, and the establishment\u2019s primary domestic initiative in recent years seems to have been the one to make gay marriage legal. <\/p>\n
To wit- the real unemployment rate in Greece is something like 45%, and it\u2019s not a whole lot better in many other European countries. Here in the US, less than half of all working age adults actually have a job. And I\u2019m not talking about a full time job, I\u2019m talking about any job, including menial temp work, seasonal work, and part time work.<\/p>\n
The college debt problem has never been higher- total student loans in the US clock in now at an ungodly and unpayable $1.3 trillion. The housing problem has never been worse- who in the hell can afford an actual house these days? It\u2019s insane! The federal debt is at $18 trillion and rising fast- deficits have never been higher, the money velocity is lower than it was during the Great Depression, etc, etc.<\/p>\n
One would think that these facts would cause great alarm amongst the press and intelligentsia, especially now, with food prices and insurance premiums rising across the board and peoples\u2019 savings tapped out. <\/p>\n
But no\u2026 we get a campaign to save gay marriage. A campaign to save the world\u2019s economy? Not important. Gay marriage is what matters! The world\u2019s economy can go fuck itself!<\/p>\n
They\u2019re nuts. <\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing, but to my eyes, it looks like they\u2019re afraid. They\u2019re too scared to tackle the big problems, so they\u2019re going after B.S. \u201cproblems\u201d like the gay marriage issue. <\/p>\n
A federal ruling on gay marriage isn\u2019t important. It\u2019s not going to change things for any but an infinitesimal percentage of the population. The states that have a large amount of gays (i.e. California and New York, amongst others) have already allowed gay marriage. The ruling changes nothing for them. So now, who, Louisiana, needs to allow gay marriage? What does that change? Why is this news? Why was this even done? I get that some people wanted it, of course they did, but was it really a good use of time and resources to pursue this as the world\u2019s economy is literally melting down?<\/p>\n
I call attention again to the ridiculous campaign against the Confederate flag. Why is the regime going after supporters of the Confederate flag, when the Wall Street bankers who almost destroyed the world\u2019s economy in 2008 are walking about with not a care in world?<\/p>\n
The recent \u201cvictories\u201d of the left are pyrrhic victories at best. They\u2019ve won, but again, they\u2019ve sacrificed their legitimacy to do so.<\/p>\n
They\u2019re wrecked the future of their movement. They\u2019re now seen universally by outsiders as enemies and children. They\u2019ve made compromise impossible. After all, what can you say to someone who seems to find gay marriage in Texas more important than the stability of the world\u2019s economy? Someone who thinks that is a zealot, a religious loony. <\/p>\n
I don\u2019t know. All of this is just sad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
