According to my Congressman, the whole American society is “louche”. He cme around to my office Wed. afternoon, and we visited for about an hour and a half. He says our society is in deep moral decay. (And he has lost his backbone.) He’s been in DC for 6 months and he looks dreadful.
He’s sleeping in his office, showering in the House gym, eating all his meals out, has gained about 100 lbs., and is working on a good case of acne. I’m known this man for more than 20 years and have never seen him so discouraged. He says nobody cares about gay marriage. (And they are not going to do anything about it.)
He represents a huge area of Wisconsin which contains more manufacturers than any other Congressional district in the USA. He claims that wealthy, successful manufacturers don’t care about gay marriage. I am a barely hanging on, not so wealthy, manufacturer and I care a great deal. But, I guess I don’t count.
Pray for this country. Pray hard.
He’s right. People don’t care about gay marriage cause it’s seen as a freedom issue. It’s a lost cause. We only marginalize ourselves by focusing on this.
We need to win the White House in 2016, and being the scolds on gay marriage isn’t going to do it. It’s playing right into the media’s hands.
