Evil Conservative - Camille Paglia on the Health Care bill

[happylilsunbeam]

You have some good points, but do you have to take those unnecessary pot shots? I'm sure you probably think it comes off as witty but there's more than enough of that kind of adolescent sentiment on the web, right?

In her book 'Sexual Personae' Camile Paglia basically illustrates the downside of our societies uncritical, over-investment in Roseaux. It is great to hear someone like her speak who can think beyond our medievally narrow horizons.

But that does not make her right about everything. Over here in the UK, we ALL think the US health debate is just weird and peculiar. Like asking people to buy their own roads, individulally. We think you are all crazy!

No insult intended, we are nuts sometimes too

Whatever with the shit about how old she is. Stoopid. "I'm a young punk" "She's sooo old dude." "She was like in college in 1606" Hhaaahaa. Like that's funny. Fuck twat.

You are seriously confused. It's the cradle and grave health care that is the vast majority of the cost of health care, not these mythical, midlife freeloaders conservatives obsess about day and night.

And it's not Congress' "optional" insurance that's the point. It's the tax-payer funded package that is rich beyond the wildest imaginings of the public. You give zero justification why this very public insurance should not be the same as everyone else's.

I'm a liberal and I agree with your view on "cradle and end" social welfare. I'm also a fan of Paglia, even though I often disagree with her. P.S. it's pronounced PAH-lia.

LOL I have only been a grown up for 12 years according to NJ ? Wow. Camille Paglia is brillent and is my favorate liberal columnist too. I have not been reading them though. Maybe I should start. I am not very sympathetic with the rising costs of Ivey league schools. I go to a state college and it suits just fine. If you want a designer name on your diploma than pay for it. Other than that I like what you had to say. You are my find of the day.

Dude, you're clearly smarter than the rednecks that make up 80% of your party affiliation, but be nice. You really could win some hearts and minds if you drop the dick act. Everything you said, besides the obviously insulting things, makes perfect sense.

PS - I was only ILLUSTRATING how off-putting your language is with the "redneck" comment.

Oh, and she's in her 60s. When people in this country live well into their 80s & 90s, 60 is not "Very, very old".

[jaybone23]

BTW, it's pronounced more like PAL-yuh. It's Italian.  The "g" is silent.

[thirdshift47]

Who is this cat?

Paglia's blurring of the traditional line between conservative-liberal discourse would scare the living shit out of the right.LOL

[chrismanxxx]

Oh, and what is that symbol on your tie in your picture there?

Camille Paglia is a self-described "Drag Queen Feminist" who would take religion over gay culture because gay men dont look inside themselves(i.e. their inner souls) enough. Now, if you can explain that to me, I will give you a million dollar donation to your "Evil Conservative" outfit there.
