One situation where you’d think even the “gay” groups could do something useful... and not a peep.

I think it was Horowitz that said (my paraphrase)

It's never about what it appears to be about The Agenda is what it's always about.

If anybody recognizes the quote and can point me to the original, I'd be much obliged.

The title of Clinton’s thesis was “There Is Only the Fight: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model.” In this title she had identified the single most important Alinsky contribution to the radical cause – his embrace of political nihilism. An SDS radical once wrote, “The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the revolution.” In other words, the cause of a political action – whether civil rights or women’s rights – is never the real cause; women, blacks and other “victims” are only instruments in the larger cause, which is power.
