Award-Winning Author Joyce Carol Oates Looks for ‘Celebratory & Joyous’ Aspects of ISIS
Breitbart ^ | 11/23/2015 | DANIEL NUSSBAUM

Award-winning author Joyce Carol Oates came under intense fire from social media users on Sunday after tweeting that she has only heard “puritanical & punitive” things about the Islamic State and wonders whether there is anything “celebratory & joyous” about the terrorist group.

"All we hear of ISIS is puritanical & punitive; is there nothing celebratory & joyous? Or is query naive?"

She doesn't have enough years left in her life to find the answer ... even if she were on 10.

When she finds out what they celebrate, she won’t like it very much, methinks!

Stick her ass in a burka and tell her to shut up. That would be “celebratory & joyous”.

When they're all burning in the lowest level of hell is about the only time I can think of.

She should be locked in a cage for a few days of rape and torture in the burning sun.

This is a fine example of being intellectual to the point of stupidity.

Maybe she should try watching a couple of their “celebrations” on the internet.

I don’t even think a good smack upside the head would help her.

It just boils down to people see what they want to see.

People will deny truth right in front of their eyes if it does not fit whatever is in their head on any given subject.

Once a person becomes set in their ways, which can happen very early in life, that is pretty much the way that they will always be.

There's no fool like an old, liberal fool.

FWIW I started reading one of Oates's novels many years ago..."Wonderland." I quit after one chapter. It was crap. She's seriously out to lunch.

She HAS seen them sawing off people’s heads, right?

I mean, she really HAS seen them doing that?

Liberalism is a mental disease.
