Lloyd Blankfein has thrown his support behind gay marriage<\/a>!\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 Didn\u2019t see that one coming.\u00a0 Gay Rights pundits are justly proud for making this big catch, because it demonstrates just how broad and diverse is the support for gay marriage in our country. After all, what demonstrates this diversity of support more than when liberal Democrat Blankfein joins the ideological eclecticism of liberal Democrat Al Franken and liberal comedian Mo\u2019Nique?\u00a0 Sometimes it just parodies itself, doesn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n

Of course there\u2019s no better image for gay marriage than\u00a0a man who came to exemplify the worst of the Wall Street corruption that led to the economic collapse of 2008.\u00a0 The man who, at the helm of Goldman Sachs, came to stand for all that was wrong in big business, as he appeared to\u00a0stuff his pockets while the policies of GS, both moral and allegedly not-so-moral, helped devastate the lives and dreams and hopes of endless tens of thousands, if not millions, of innocent people.\u00a0 I know when I\u2019m jockeying for a cause, that\u2019s the type of fellow I want representing my side. <\/p>\n

Still, it might be appropriate after all.\u00a0 First, gay marriage is about a lifestyle that says \u2018I want it, I want it, and I don\u2019t care about nuthin\u2019 but I want it.\u2019\u00a0 So what better example to head the cause?\u00a0 Plus, it demonstrates that post-modern leftist values are as eternal as the next Faustian bargain.\u00a0 Wall Street and its CEOs the image of modern Satan?\u00a0 The most horrible demonstration of evil in the last decade?\u00a0 You betcha!\u00a0 That is until it benefits us to have their endless billions at our disposal.\u00a0 Now we\u2019re all better now, and really good eggs.\u00a0 Is it unique to the post-modern left?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 This sort of devil\u2019s alliance has long been demonstrative of human interactions and agendas.\u00a0 It just goes to show how the thing that was once liberalism was nothing more than a myth and lie, and just the same-old same-old that has been seen throughout the ages.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
