Vice President Joe Biden is praising Jewish leaders for helping change American attitudes about gay marriage and other issues.
Biden says culture and arts change people's attitudes. He cites social media and the old NBC TV series "Will and Grace" as examples of what helped changed attitudes on gay marriage.
Biden says, quote, "Think — behind of all that, I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it's in Hollywood or social media, are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry."
Biden says the influence is immense and that those changes have been for the good.
Other nations in the world have gone through the same social change before the mighty US of A and without Jewish influence.
Perhaps it is more that Jews are truly international citizens that they are trying to help the people of the USA see and understand the change they see in the world arena.
Biden was speaking Tuesday night at a Jewish American Heritage Month reception hosted by the Democratic National Committee.

It all makes sense now.
Being anti gay is the new anti semite.
If he were speaking to a Christian group he would have picked out something to praise Christians for, and he were speaking to a Asian American group he would have praised the cultural impacts they have given...
The power of the internet and the access to global opinions is far more influential.

Erm, I would beg to differ.
The UK doesn't have anything close to the level of Jewish involvement the USA has
Yep, same trick but with different actors. This news isn't new to me. I don't hold anything against people of the Jewish faith
...
This goes beyond their religious beliefs and delves more into their political ambitions. And I think it's very important that we on ATS can recognize the differences.
Whether it's America and Christianity, or Pakistan and the Taliban - the more religious countries are seemingly ALWAYS behind the rest of the modern world in equality for various groups.

Examples?

Not sure what you meant by that.
Even if they were "truly international citizens", why should they change a country according to what they see in the world arena. And how does it amount to "helping" the people of the USA? Did they ask for this help?
And what about other cultures that attempt to change the USA according to their worldview? Are other cultures also entitled tochange the USAhelp the people of the US start seeing things the way they see them?

All that Biden is doing is stating the obvious - the power of mass communication to indoctrinate new beliefs into an unsuspecting population. That unsuspecting populace grows to love and exalt what is held up for them to idolise, and in the process the charity and love of God is abandoned.
And yet Biden praises this indoctrination and brainwashing.
