United States News Title: What YOU Have In Common With Rush and Elton What YOU Have In Common With Rush and Elton By Steven Crowder Published June 11, 2010 | FOXNews.com Print Email Share Comments (17) Text Size “What is wrong with Proposition 8 is that they went for marriage. Marriage is going to put a lot of people off, the word marriage… I don't want to be married. I'm very happy with a civil partnership. If gay people want to get married, or get together, they should have a civil partnership… You get the same equal rights that we do when we have a civil partnership. Heterosexual people get married. We can have civil partnerships." – Elton John Ain’t that a kick in the pants? As it would seem, Elton John and Rush Limbaugh share the exact same opinion in regards to gay marriage. Coincidentally, so do a majority of Americans. So does this mean that everyday Americans, politicians (both Republican and Democrat), Rush Limbaugh and –gulp– Elton John all hate… the gays? At least that’s how mainstream media would try and spin it. Most leftists in the press have simply tried to bury those less than “typically queer” quotes. Why? Well, when Elton John speaks the truth, it disrupts the sensationalized narrative that the media and Hollywood have been setting for years; if you don’t support gay marriage, you must secretly despise gay people. It’s Hate vs. Gay. Period. Clearly there are some people even in the gay community, who are tired of the blatant pandering and simple-mindedness. Elton John most likely understands that 57% (those who support same-sex civil unions) of Americans don’t revile his tiny dancing self. Sure they may recommend some serious orthodonture, but that really only comes from a place of love. The fact is that Americans continue to purchase his albums and support him as an artist, yet still uphold a traditional view of marriage. See how that works? Now the Rocket Man’s opinion could be based on a multitude of reasons, be it cultural, political or ethical. Either way, it shouldn’t matter. People should be entitled to express their personal viewpoint without being called a “whore” as Mike Gusto so eloquently put it last night on Olbermann. Although that shouldn’t really count as an insult, seeing as liberals love promiscuous sex. It’s sort of their calling card. Let’s just boil down the Rush Limbaugh/Elton John controversy for a second. Rush Limbaugh: ANTI gay marriage and PRO civil union. Elton John: ANTI gay marriage and PRO civil union. Here we have two incredibly different people with two wildly different world views actually agreeing on something! How can that be construed as anything other than a thing of beauty? Where’s the “We Are the World” choir? The truth is that the gossip-hounds in tinsel town and the cackling windbags at “The View” don’t want civility. They want catty (or dare I say it gay-ish) gossip and sensational headlines that provide them with an opportunity to hop on the bully pulpit. When it comes to the liberal agenda, it’s more important to pigeonhole people than it is to speak the truth. Poor Elton… Why couldn’t he just learn his role? He shouldn’t be reaching across the aisle, making friends with those of a different stripe or articulating his personal world views. He’s just our gay little song-monkey. At the end of the day Elton, isn’t that enough? Apart from that, wouldn’t you rather perform at Sean Penn’s wedding? I hear that he has a few left in him.
