[Read the article: The paranoid withdrawal fantasy]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]It’s interesting, and kind of telling, that so many on the left – the same left Mrs. Paglia is a member of. That she dares to deviate from the scripted responses means she is the enemy apparently. How lovely. Oh not that you tear at Mrs. Paglia, whom I personally adore and respect even when I don’t agree with her; but that you would destroy one of your own. The right seems to be doing the same, though it’s slightly less shrill about it.
So go ahead and destroy internal dissent, remove the evil of thought and rational inquiry from your ranks – it’s always a good idea isn’t it? And, with luck, the Right will follow your lead and both major parties will become irrelevant. Then perhaps we can have real representation, dozens of parties vying for seats, even the Presidency, with a real chance of winning. Ah the dreams of youth.
As for Mrs. Paglia, should she read this post, of her I have but one request. I have someone I correspond with in the Netherlands (she happens to be a married Lesbian, legal there, but frankly its irrelevant to my point here) who was telling me this charming story her daughter had made up about refrigerator mice. I would love for her to be encouraged to write this story and publish it. The world needs more charming stories and fewer horrific ones.
Thank you for your indulgence.

Bill Maher = Ann Coulter
[Read the article: American flag pins are for idiots]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]God, its amazing how those on the political Left and those on the Right act just the damn same! Saying provocative things just to get attention. I think they are both Assholes!

Ellen was wrong
[Read the article: Ellen, the dog bullies and me]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]She violated the rules she agreed to when she got the dog, then tried to use her celebrity status and her public forum to bully the agency into giving her her way. It blew up in her face, I have no doubt she never intended for the agency to have death treats - a PERFECT example of the law of unintended consequence.
As for the agencies rules, if you want a dog without having to jump through ridiculous hoops go to the pound. These private agencies do good work, but they can be more exclusive. If they wish to demand you only wear a pink tutu when playing with the dog in a hypo-allergenic bubble then that’s the rule; don’t want to adhere to it go elsewhere and quit whining.

Interesting
[Read the article: "We're all fascists now"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not the interview per se, but the reaction. A lot of name-calling, implications about his parentage, etc. Very few substantive rebuttals or thoughtful criticisms. I thought Liberals were above the politics of personal destruction and more into the realm of honest intellectual debate.
Fascism grew from Socialism as a response to Communism – this is simple fact (NAZI means Nationalsozialismus, or National Socialism). Modern Liberalism also has roots in Socialism (I would argue current Conservatism also is deeply rooted in Socialism). You can cry, scream, and hold your breath and that will not change the facts.
I would love to see the ideas argued. The name-calling is tiresome and belongs on the playground with the children who haven’t matured enough to know better.
One of the few good points raised is the tenuous link the author tries to make concerning modern Liberalism and Militarism – its kind of laughable.
