Although I’ve never been a big fan of Camille Paglia, in this interview she made some valid points regarding the failures and frauds of the feminist movement and the feminizing of America, something Rush Limbaugh has often mentioned and that I agree with. It’s subtle in many cases but still potent, especially in primary school grades. Paglia may be an aging lesbian and no conservative but, like libertarians, she also has some positions a conservative can agree with, no matter the source, because what is right is right.

This one could be one for my eyes in the venue of blindness ... My eyes ... My eyes. Is this a young helen thomas? I know not who this is but have a bad feeling about this from up-thread.

NHY to you also, I wasn’t really thinking of that image when I posted. The “power” being the impact on we hetero males not the Feminist Beyotches, of which we both probably know too many.

Her thoughts are always worth a read IMO.

I agree. Yet after reading them I always wonder how in the world she continues to vote Democrat.

Nancy Pelosi and Barry Soetero have the balls of the nation in their grip. Let’s just be honest!

The Korean girls look like they’re having fun. Miley Cyrus looks desperate.

I think that Paglia is saying that within Democratic and academic circles sexiness is dead. I know she’s a huge fan of certain Hollywood stars and South American beauties.

Not to change the subject, but as much as I love Paglia, until she acknowledges her Arabist inclinations, she has to be very careful about talking about “Western suicide.” I speak as an admirer!

Yes Cyrus does look desperate.

I was Channel Surfing and remember seeing her briefly dressed up Business Causal and she exactly like a Young Teenage Boy!

GAH!

As a young teenager, she was an ordinary cute girl. Some weird stuff must have happened to her.

I can’t prove it, but the failures of heart in Libya overall (leading from behind), Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria all reflect the lack of military knowledge among the Obamaites in and out of the Administration.

In Benghazi, someone forgot the old code: “no one left behind”. Shameful covering of butts over the covert arming of the rebels against Gadafi is what it was all about.

Lots of humorous posts from guys here.

As a woman, I always laugh when guys post Catherine Zeta-Jones pics whenever an article by Maureen/Mo Dowd appears on the forum.

And, of course, there is the annual posting of the pretty Bavarian Fraulein in her sexy blouse and dirndl.

I do agree that Ms Billy Ray Cyrus’s - daughter is not sexy like Catherine ZJ or the pretty in dirndl Oktoberfest gal.

‘dirndl’. Ah, so that’s what those dirndls are called, I’ve always wondered.

I agree. She is also one of the fastest talking people I’ve ever heard. When she gets going she’s like a runaway train.
