Kevin O'Brien over at the Theatre of the World Incorporated is making an
excellent point geared particularly toward sympathizers of the Occupy
movement:
tOccupy Wall Street and related groups were indignant, and rightly so,
that the wealthiest one percent of the population seems to control the
government.
We would all agree that in a democratic republic, policy that affects
every American should not be set by an elite, particularly if that elite is
only one percent of the people.
But what if that elite is only half that size?
The (un-"occupied") Wall Street Journal reports that, according to the
2010 U.S. Census, about five of every one thousand households is a "same sex
couple" household - which, apprently means not just "room mates" but
sodomites and Lesbians living together as a kind of "family".
And so, even with "gay marriage" legal in many states, and with
homosexual cohabitation legal in all states, only about point-five percent
of households in this country are "same sex couples". Whence, then, comes
this tremendous political push to cater to the whims of one half of one
percent of the U.S. population?
The only conclusion that we can draw from this is that "gay marriage" is
a contrived issue, politically speaking. It is the "One half of one percent
" trying to bully the rest of us.
I stopped there but Kevin's got more to say and yes, it's worthy of your
time. It explains where we are today culturally and how we arrived and how
many of us, way too many of us, have contributed to the state we find
ourselves in.
Enlightening read.
With props to Mark Shea who adds:
There is something fevered and deranged about the strange push of our
elite to radically redefine something as utterly foundational as the family
because of a stampede on behalf of one half of one percent of the population
. There is also something crazy about the fact that it is consistently
achieved entirely through the machinations of elites, either in courts or
among our ruling class, while the 31 times it has been put to an actual
democratic vote it has been defeated every time. |
