speaking out of both sides of their mouths

The biggest problem I see here is that too damned many Americans are forced
to work their butts off for less than a living wage. IT is to me a grave
injustice that many parents have less and less time to spend with children
as they are force to run faster and faster on the corporate gerbil's wheel
of death.
But, I'll also admit to being somewhat old-fashioned when it comes to
parenting in that I believe the best parenting is done by two parents who
are married to each other be they gay or straight. The biggest hypocrites of
all are conservatives who claim to believe in family values yet have no
problem with parents having to spend more and more time at work and less and
less time with children.

My reply:
 
Bob,
What should be making us rise up in anger is the fact that these preachers of family values really do believe in them...for their people.  We are not "Their People".  We are the Consumers, the worker bees, the sheep, the great reserve upon which "The People" may draw to provide them the good life. 
When we get it through our thick skulls that there are Two Americas, we just might begin to make some serious adjustments in who shares in our National Fortune.
