I can't say that I blame Rush for pulling his punches where the gays are concerned. I've worked in the entertainment and financial worlds in New York and Los Angeles, so I have a sense of the way members of what I'd broadly define “the elite” react where certain issues are concerned. In my experience, while it's not exactly “acceptable” to be against abortion, individuals who are pro-life will be tolerated without being accused (personally) of being misogynistic; in contrast, any opposition to, say, gay marriage is cited as evidence of “hate” by that person. Individuals who come out against gay marriage and go on the record — by making donations to Proposition 8, for example — will pay a price for doing so. For example, I believe that, in the age of Google, many who donated to Proposition 8 will get turned down for jobs they apply for(although they'll never know the real reason they didn't get the job). As for public figures who come out against the gays...I do believe they will be brought down.
If I were Rush Limbaugh, I'd keep my mouth shut about the gays, while trying to get the truth out about everything else. If Rush does summon the courage to come out against the gays, I predict he'll end up in prison or murdered within five years. (And, no, I'm not kidding.)
It’s pretty much a given that gays control the entertainment industry lock, stock and barrel.
Entertainers know they will be ‘blacklisted’ if they go against the gay agenda, which in essence means, supporting any conservative politician, or refusing to “pile on” when somebody says something against Sarah Palin. It’s like that old saying, “To get along, you go along.”
