text: ...Obama not simply because of his political obligations, but also on the basis of his race. It's not as simple as race, of course; Justice Thomas certainly doesn't enjoy this New Left loyalty. But when the needs of others are considered alongside the needs of the first black and center left president, all other obligations are devalued. And so criticism is deemd to come from a "very ugly place" and "no other president" is subjected to the demands of something like the boycott. When someone who isn't white objects, you falter and cannot provide a rationale for their objection without attributing something akin to false consciousness to them. They, too, are denied agency. The problem is also that you demand one way communication and commitment. The boycott is "divisive," but President Obama's failure to do one simple act must be excused at all costs. Incrementalism is praised and the legitimate grievances and demands of the Left are dismissed.
  And you do this by dismissing gay rights. Sorry, you do. You still cannot explain away your comparison of DOMA to homelessness, which is not at all alike in kind, in light of your comparison of Stupak to Hyde and Guantanamo to Angola3. When the differences are pointed out, you simply don't respond to the criticism. And on it goes. "Real America" should be abolished by real Americans.
