I wouldn\u2019t hold my breath.\u00a0 As I\u2019ve said before<\/a>, much money is wasted on research and studies.\u00a0 Not just because it\u2019s so easy to manipulate them, because some research is, naturally, quite legitimate.\u00a0 And while the outcomes can be spun, or in the case of this little bombshell<\/a>, completely ignored by our propaganda ministry, intelligent people can still use the results to help understand the world around us.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

But still, in the end, even if the results aren\u2019t spun and the research was valid, we can ultimately do what people have done for eons when confronted with inconvenient truths: ignore.\u00a0 Or possibly suggest it\u2019s all part of the vast, [fill in your ideological enemy here] conspiracy.\u00a0 So the fact that two separate studies have concluded that children may actually suffer somewhat by being exposed to a same-sex household will pass in the night quicker than a faint autumn breeze.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Therefore\u00a0don\u2019t hold your breath.\u00a0 It won\u2019t be as if people will suddenly say, \u201cOh my, for the children!\u00a0 We must pause now and make sure that this is for the best for the children before we continue on this path.\u201d\u00a0 Ain\u2019t gonna happen.\u00a0 That it\u2019s children is one big reason it won\u2019t matter.\u00a0 In our age, the well being of kids vacillates between \u2018you\u2019re lucky you weren\u2019t aborted\u2019 to \u2018because we care about your weight or feelings, we are going to have to invoke our Big Politically Correct Brother for some more thought control (that coincidentally advances the Progressive Agenda).\u201d\u00a0 This would stand in the way of the great Progressive juggernaut, so I don\u2019t think ABC or CNN will be doing lengthy unpacking on this in order to bring about a sudden concern for the children where it might inconvenience the agendas of ABC, CNN or any other progressive institution.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
