Running for Your Life: What Must Not Be Said

There are things that cannot be said.

For example: that considering the number of strongly disapproving citizens, especially those in the deep pockets of evangelical America, the theocracy that liberal America holds in contempt, of the homosexual lifestyle, it would seem that group would focus on what it viewed as the distaste of Anderson Cooper’s intimate personal life than what it views as the more conventional vulgarity of the porn star, during that much-hyped 60 Minutes interview on Sunday (March 25).

Not making any moral judgments here, you understand. Simply drawing attention to why it’s possible that a vast number of American voters might find a way to distract themselves from the story of the president and the porn star. Also, given the story is at its root bedroom voyeuristic, it seems fair game to mention Cooper’s openly declared sexual preference.

So this part of the story goes off the liberal mainstream: to Fox News, to white supremacist news sites … the partisan divide widens and deepens every day. There is no single topic we will not pollute as partisan, agreement is illusory with contempt the way of the land.
