I was, and am, willing to respect Oprah Winfrey for her business acumen. Anyone who can get where she is from where she came from knows how to overcome adversity.

But I heard her say something one day that completely drained any respect or consideration I had for her.

She thinks the family is obsolete, and said so in a statement I am at a loss to remember exactly. It is typical socialist "it takes a village" claptrap. For someone in her position to advocate that is just plain wrong.

And I'm sorry...I know she did some nice things for the families of some of the troops, but I just cannot accept a concilation with her world view and her gift giving for some of the families of the troops. In my opinion, all PR.

Oprah has opinions like that because she has now children of her own. She take on "causes" that involve kids, but she has no clue what being a real parent is all about.

Adversity? because she is black- she is a victim. I don't call that adversity. I call that liberalism. No offense to poster, I just cannot stand Oprahs type of victimhood.

"She thinks the family is obsolete"


Oprah said that because her faith in her lord and savior Jesus Christ is "obsolete" Oprah would rather suck queerdom. No skin of her reverse bigoted nose since she has no desire or idea what "family" is! She was physically raped and clearly her mind was raped of any logical process. The money has indeed corrupted her whole being.
