Camille Paglia On Palin

The resolute and sparky Ms. Paglia explains her view of Sarah Palin as a feminist force of nature, takes the Democrats to task for their treatment of her and, most amazingly, admits abortion is murder and roundly chastises the Left for its refusal to admit that pro-lifers do indeed have a valid point. She even goes so far as to say that " there is plenty of room in modern thought for a pro-life feminism ." Well I'll be darned.

From Salon. You know the drill: be sure and read it all. Good stuff.

QUOTE But the pro-life position, whether or not it is based on religious orthodoxy, is more ethically highly evolved than my own tenet of unconstrained access to abortion on demand. My argument (as in my first book, "Sexual Personae,") has always been that nature has a master plan pushing every species toward procreation and that it is our right and even obligation as rational human beings to defy nature's fascism. Nature herself is a mass murderer, making casual, cruel experiments and condemning 10,000 to die so that one more fit will live and thrive.
Hence I have always frankly admitted that abortion is murder, the extermination of the powerless by the powerful. Liberals for the most part have shrunk from facing the ethical consequences of their embrace of abortion, which results in the annihilation of concrete individuals and not just clumps of insensate tissue.

Paglia Nails It Again

Camille Paglia has a way with words, and this is the second time in this election cycle I've heartily agreed with her

castigastion of Hillary.

The popeyed, grinning Miz Clinton has

entirely too much baggage, and Paglia shows us where. From The Telegraph (U.K.)

QUOTE from the "Comments section" - Hillary IS a feminist - but of the worst kind. She embodies the schizo brand of feminism which declares itself liberated from the old Patriarchal paradigm of the covert, conniving, subservient female while continuing to employ it when it serves the purpose. For too many women Feminism simply means employing the old subterfuges and chicaneries with a clear conscience while denouncing anyone who dares call them on it as "sexist". in brief, they want to have their cake and eat it too. Sadly, we live in a time when certain feminists can, with an absolutely straight face, characterize pole-dancing as "an empowering act". God help us. UNQUOTE
