CAMILLE PAGLIA ON CENSORSHIP BY LEFT-WING ARCHIE BUNKERS

Muslim oppression 3Once again Camille Paglia shines in an examination of various subjects near and dear to my heart – censorship by the Political Correctness Police, the way the American Left crawls for Islam and how pretentious Liberal asses have destroyed the concept of intellectual inquiry and the free exchange of ideas in the academic world. She nicely chronicles the decline of American colleges and universities into their present state as the Democratic Party’s secular churches. 

An extra bit of fun is the way many of her remarks reinforce the remarks I made recently about the way that the worst of the faux “intellectuals” of the self-centered 1960s Liberals avoided failure in the real world by hiding in the prolonged adolescence of the academic world. Unfortunately they felt their job as “teachers” was to abuse their authority over their students by browbeating them into agreeing with their outdated (by FIVE DECADES now) political opinions.

I’m dealing with Foolkiller’s role in Defenders number 78 this time out as they battle Mutant Force, Fem-Force and their leader the Mandrill. I throw in hints at the backstory I’ve devised for Foolkiller’s costume and Purification Gun, since Marvel never got around to addressing it.   Continue reading

BARACK OBAMA: VILLAGE IDIOT

Obama Yelling

OBAMA: TO HELL WITH CITIZENS WHO NEVER BREAK THE LAW! THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WANTS FELONS, ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS AND 16 YEAR-OLDS TO VOTE!

I don’t like either American Liberals or American Conservatives, but there is no denying that Barack Obama has pioneered new depths of stupidity as president. Little Barry announced that the Justice Department (IN-justice Department during his bizarre administration) will no longer use the term “felons.” They will use the term “justice-involved individuals” instead. I’m serious. This is not a joke.

This moronic gesture is part of the Democratic Party’s push to have felons vote in American elections. Naturally they’re doing this because they know around 90% or so will vote for Democrats – and already ARE Democrats at this point. And that includes former office-holders. 

democratic party donkey

*** *** *** *** *** The Party that hates American citizens and people who don’t break the law!

You’ll notice the Democrats know that fewer and fewer citizens are naive enough to trust them, that’s why they let illegal immigrants vote by fighting Voter I.D. laws. It’s also why they want felons to vote and are also trying to lower the voting age to 16. Hey, it’s TOUGH to find people who don’t remember (or are too young to have noticed) that the Democrats despise the working class just as much as the most bloated rich pig Republicans do.

Obama – the proud father of the Islamic State (Obamastan) and founder of Iran’s nuclear weapons program – has also instructed colleges to stop asking applicants if they have a criminal record. I’m serious. Are the brainless bureaucrats who now constitute college administrations foolish enough to comply? If a convicted rapist enrolls and commits another rape on campus I hope the victim and/or their family sues the school AND the administrators responsible for following Little Barry’s inane policy.

Defenders 77 Waiting For ... WorldDEFENDERS Vol 1: Number 77 – WAITING FOR THE END OF THE WORLD  (Nov 1979)

A. Synopsis of the “real” story – The Defenders (Valkyrie, Hellcat, Moondragon and the Wasp), still puzzled about how Omega’s dead form and James Michael Starling’s live form switched places, arrive in Las Vegas.

James Michael escapes from the supervillainess Ruby before she can experiment on him. The Defenders encounter him shortly after his escape, but the pursuing Ruby and her monstrous creation Dibbuk arrive on Starling’s trail. A battle breaks out between the Defenders and the Ruby/Dubbuk pair in the heart of Las Vegas.  

This fight becomes a three-way battle with the arrival of the Protarians in another squadron of spaceships. In all the resulting chaos Ruby and Dibbuk are defeated while Moondragon’s mind powers at last fill in all the blanks on Omega and James Michael Starling. Continue reading

CONDESCENDING WHITE WOMEN LOVE HIJABS

Islam is slavery 2

ISLAM IS SLAVERY

Once again Huffington Post – the site for HUFFy, POST-menopausal white liberals – showcased virtue-signalling Western women who think they’re accomplishing something by dressing in the degrading body-bags that the patriarchal Muslim World imposes on women. Every time that happens I run this reminder: 

UNTIL SUCH TIME AS ALL MUSLIM WOMEN ARE FREE TO MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICE ON THE MATTER, IT IS IRRELEVANT HOW MANY MUSLIM “STEPFORD WIVES” COME FORWARD TO PRETEND MUSLIM WOMEN WEAR THOSE OUTFITS WILLINGLY. 

I’m not just pro-choice on abortion – I’m pro-choice on the clothing issue, too. American Liberals are too hypocritical for that. WANT TO HEAR FROM BRAVE MUSLIM WOMEN WHO POINT OUT THE DAMAGE POMPOUS WHITE WOMEN DO BY DONNING HIJABS? READ IT HERE

THE FINALE OF PELE AND HI’IAKA: EPIC OF HAWAII

HawaiianislandsBalladeer’s Blog concludes its examination of the grand and exciting Hawaiian epic about the goddesses Pele and Hi’iaka.

PART TWENTY-EIGHT

As the previous installment ended Pele was furiously proclaiming that she would kill Prince Lohiau and destroy her sister Hi’iaka for falling in love (ish) while Hi’iaka was escorting the prince to the Big Island to become Pele’s husband. Hi’iaka had spitefully consummated her love for Prince Lohiau right at the base of Pele’s home atop Mount Kilauea. She had done this to punish the fire and volcano goddess for her savage slaying of Hopoe, the goddess whom Hi’iaka had placed in charge of her beloved forests of lehua trees.

Pele’s explosive temper was unleashed at the sight of her younger sister and her intended husband coupling publicly. As she caused a flood of lava to flow down the mountain and encircle Lohiau and Hi’iaka she had cried to all the gods in the Hawaiian pantheon that any of them who sided with Hi’iaka would be declaring themselves an enemy of Pele and would risk destruction or banishment.   Continue reading
