Gays are just like Obama. ...well, yeah, exactly like him, but that isn’t exactly what I mean. Gays are a group, not individuals. They don’t come to us as a man or a woman of self worth, but as a movement, a group bowel movement of sorts, dumped on the rest of society. That’s what I mean about Obama. Say anything against him, and the racist chants begin, because he isn’t an individual. He doesn’t come to us as a man, but as part of an aggrieved group, dumping on the rest of us. That’s why homosexuals love him. That, and the other reason. That’s a big reason why reasonable people are repulsed by them, among other things.
Very, very perceptive - highly astute observation. The “identity politics” ideology (seen in both the gay rights and Obama movements) obscures the individual, the warm and robust reality, with the group and its overarching idealism. The static (as in stasis) model replaces the vital and dynamic model. Excellent point, pallis.
