1st sentence: Hyperbole.
I'm not an Obama "fan." Point one.
Point two:
He's not pitting rich versus poor by stating the way things are. That's just called a reality check. It is a fact, not an opinion, that the Wealthy are eating up a larger share of the Nation's wealth than ever before, versus the poor and middle class which are remaining relatively stagnant. Calling POINTING THAT OUT, "class warfare" has been hyperbole all along and it appears you bought into it. I don't do news media spin, it's childish and it insults your intelligence.
Coincidentally, under Obama corporate profits are at all time highs, and he's also hired many CEO's and rich Wallstreet people onto his Administration. Some "War" he's supposedly fighting.
He absolutely is waging a verbal class war and his little minions fall for it hook, line and sinker. What he does versus what he says are two different things. He's one of the biggest hypocrits on the planet. I don't need the media to tell me anything, they're right up there with him pushing it out there, telling the unwashed masses that what their neighbors have came at their expense and that they're owed something for it somehow. It's disgusting.
As far as your long-winded jaded paragraph about what you perceive the gay groups have been doing --------------- I'd say that you have just admitted to letting emotion cloud your judgement of what is right versus what is wrong and are no longer really capable of issuing a fair assessment. You admitted that you supported the plight for civil unions, and that just because a group did something distasteful (in your opinion) you then "change your mind" and no longer support them. That's emotion clouding judgement, morals even.
And society will accept it as normal, it's already shifting that way so your statement that it won't is on the wrong side of the trend graphs.
There's nothing emotional or personal about it, I have no emotional buy in one way or the other on this topic, but I would guess that you do. I still think they should have the legal civil union, but that's not good enough, I've been told that by gay people repeatedly. So when they're serious and honest about what they want, then I would change my mind about what their true agenda is. I'm just not seeing it.
It's not normal for two people of the same sex to be attracted to each other, it's statistically an anomoly and goes against what biology and nature intended. Do I think people should be treated differently or with bigotry because of it? No, I don't. But I'm not going to insist that it's normal either. You're the emotional person in this discussion, not me.
