Camille views the world through clear eyes. She got the election right and she gets a lot of other stuff right too.

All honest people have known that Hillary is a disaster since she first erupted like a bubo onto the world scene, a sign that something terrible was wrong. Let’s hope the world has healed itself once and for all and that the horrible plague is over.

Yes. While I think she’s a fool with her sexism, she at least has thought it through and she explains herself pretty well too.

But you don’t have to spend two or three years on the road asking for money.

Trump proved that, and so did Jeb for that matter, as Jeb proved that money cannot buy you the presidency or the nomination.

What you have to do is reach the voters and close the deal.

Whenever I read Paglia’s stuff, I think she sees people without gender. If you’re a dolt who propagates bad ideas or treats people badly, she will hold you accountable regardless of gender. Likewise, she has a high regard for strength of character and trueness to one’s beliefs, as we saw in her treatment of Sarah Palin. That’s why she is a refreshing read for people of all political stripes.

She lost me at pro-pornography. Porn rots the soul.

I am so lucky to have grown up in a family with no feminists. Instead I am surrounded with capable, competent woman who realise that you don’t legislate your way to equality, you earn it. The women in my family manage businesses, fly planes, become doctors, or stay at home with their children if they feal its the right thing to do and to not give a damn what some feinist thinks. Thsy raise their daughters to do the same and their sons to respect women.

Yes porn is rotten. (But it ain’t going away— I’d like to just keep it out of regular entertainment channels. That step alone would help us a lot ).

Yes...I noted that also..
Pro porn. Not good. Wonder where her logic is in that.

Trump wins it will be an amazing moment of change because it would destroy the power structure of the Republican party, the power structure of the Democratic party and destroy the power of the media.

HOORAY Camille. HOORAY Mr. Donald J. Trump. Thank you, sir.

It’s a freedom thing. You should be free to ‘exploit’ yourself if you choose.

"There will never be equality of the sexes if we think that women are so handicapped they can’t look after themselves."

Funny that this is exactly how liberals view minorities. It is a core part of the liberal world view.

Hopefully this is the end of the age of Clinton. Fortunately for freedom loving people, Chelsea is inarticulate, ugly, and not very bright.

What I will never understand is how sane people I respect could possibly make a reasoned choice between an abrasive unknown candidate and a dishonest well known one to run our country. The only rationale I can come up with is that 8 years ago the unknown candidate won out, and look where that got us. Clearly, in my mind, if the Democrats ran the clown Biden instead of the evil Hillary it would have been a much easier choice for many people to make.. I hope and pray the Donald will surprise all of us like Reagan did.

To Hillary’s career of devastation in government, she has now added the crowning achievement of wrecking the Democratic Party.

I don’t see how Paglia can be such an astute woman and still say she believes in the things she does. She is far left in her politics and supported Bernie despite the horrible failure of socialism. She chose her lesbian lifestyle and is a libertine when it comes to sex - this promiscuity contributes to the severe depression and STDs rampant among many feminists and lesbians. Thankfully she has been a consistent voice against the whining “feminists” who really don’t want equality but expect special treatment and access due to their girlie parts. Camille adopted a male child (not sure how old he was), and perhaps that has softened her appreciation as she sees him grow into a man.
