Log Cabin Republicans Reveal the Future

So it seems the Log Cabin Republicans will hold a press event today in NYC to scold the Republican Party for drafting a homophobic platform. Now this is truly newsworthy but not because Log Cabin's oppostition to the Federal Marriage Amendment is new. No, the media should be focused on this event because it objectifies the mass delusion of America.

When a group of people who have been targeted for discriminatory treatement by the political party they support financially and ideologically do anything less than renounce fully their association with that party they display a debased political desperation that should be heralded for its visionary clarity.

This could be any group of people who by nature, economics, race, religion, geography, sexual orientation, or any other force, feel a political affinity to one another and continually lend their support to an institution that exists primarily to harm them and diminish their future porspects. In fact, the Log Cabin Republicans could be any group in the US protesting the mean-spirited GOP. The Republican Party as it is currently constituted serves the interests of no one, not even the corporate fat cats who will eventually be forced from the privately secured mansions by the impoverished mobs demanding a return on their Republican investment.

The fact that homosexuals are in the vanguard of this revelation is not surprising. We've been known to set trends in every area of culture - usually for the worst as we see here.

Let's just hope the Log Cabins surprise us and break fully with the party and begin its unraveling before it's too late.
