Did I read that right?
While I personally disagree with Paglia on many issues, I respect her for the rarity she is- an honest liberal.
Sound principles should cross over political boundaries.
I don’t know how much of this woman’s beliefs I could stomach, but the part we were linked to here, I found rather compelling.
Something is taking place in this nation. It appears for all the world like an awakening.
Trump goes hard right. This woman at least in part has gone sane vs what she use to exhibit.
I appreciate her comments. Dare I say it, there is some hope for us yet.
I enjoy Paglia a lot. She is a joy to me to listen to even though I do have to hang on tightly! Thanks for posting.
I cannot stand that smug, snarky, superior tone. I hated the fact that young people were getting their news through that filter of sophomoric snark. … I’m sorry, but Jon Stewart is not a major figure. He’s certainly a highly successful T.V. personality, but I think he has debased political discourse. I find nothing incisive in his work. As for his influence, if he helped produce the hackneyed polarization of moral liberals versus evil conservatives, then he’s partly at fault for the political stalemate in the United States.
I am going to be horrifically blunt here. When abortion is down nationwide, why do conservatives want to stop abortions? The babies being aborted are from low income communities, black communities. The left, Democrats, Marxists what ever you call the political left, wants these babies dead. Abortion is the lefts way of controlling entitlements.
Do Conservatives really want to expand entitlements to pay for these babies for the next 18 years?
From a religious standpoint, abortion is the sin of the parents who concieved the baby. The abortion staff who killed the baby. The litigants who brought Roe v Wade to the Supremes. The justices who passed it. The people who continue to support it. It is their sin.
Does God not watch over all these babies? Will he not punish those who committed the sin?
To care for the prodigy of the left, to care for the babies of people who call us racist? This is their sin. Not ours.
HOORAY Camille Paglia
She has liberals pegged.
From my reading, and I’ve not made an in-depth study of the matter, but several of the women held up as “Founding Mothers” of early US feminism (e.g., Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony) were against abortion and actually somewhat pro-family.
