Still phony after all these years.

Camille Paglia is none of the following: Popular, intellectual, insightful, honest, feminist, clever, witty, interesting, innovative.

What she is: A Narcissist, self-aggrandizing, hypocritical, supercilious, pedantic, woman-hating, shrill, myopic, ridiculous, pointless, a boor and a bore.

"The more liberal parents are, the less contact their children have with religious ideas. That will surely disable our future American leaders from being able to understand the religious commitment of Islamic fundamentalists."

So the answer is... the children of liberals should be well-schooled in religious ideas so that they can understand better what it is they completely disagree with? To what end? So they can "reason" with people who eschew reason?

"Liberal journalists often seem incredulous about how anyone would seek death for religious principles. But that was the entire history of early Christianity, when the saints willingly sought martyrdom. We're heading into that world again."

It's only "Liberal Journalists" that are incredulous about people seeking martydom in pointless, futile acts of extreme terrorist violence? Really? Not everyone with two brain cells to rub together? I would think anyone that ever employs logic would be mystified by this. Early Christianity was every bit as brutal and pointless as modern Islamic fundamentalism? No shit?

Have you heard the expression, "You're talking out your ass?" What an idiot.

Bill Clinton is a compulsive blabbermouth? Has she looked in a mirror lately?

You know the creepiest thing about the Democrats? She calls herself one. Uhg!

Reading her is like having one's head squeezed in a vice. Please make it stop.

Original article: The dominatrix

McPain

After Palin's RNC speech, I heard a woman, a self-described independent voter say, that she felt like she had just watched MEAN GIRLS, THE 25TH REUNION.

She strikes me as a self-aggrandizing ego-maniac. Alaska is a good place for her, unless you're a wolf or a moose. Then she's death on a stick.

Is a sparsely educated, religious fanatic, second rate beauty queen with only the flimsiest resume“, both as a politician and a mother really the best that this country has to offer?

I sometimes wonder if this country doesn't have a death wish.

The good news is, after Palin, Hillary will never seem like a bitch again.

You are such an IDIOT.

Long-winded, delusional and humorless. Also, not a feminist.

If I ever stopped calling myself a feminist, you would be the reason why.

You are such a f**king idiot.

Madonna, a feminist! Hilarious! Sarah Palin, anti-choice, anti-birth control, anti-sex education, a feminist! Why? Because she pulls the trigger on animals? Something is seriously wrong with you.
