Camille Paglia takes on Jon Stewart, Trump, Sanders:

She is repulsed by Stewart's "snark" and holds him accountable for the intractable divide in this country ... she says Stewart cemented the idea amongst the low information voters that Liberal=good and Conservative=evil therefore no real need to debate or think

Very interesting article. Hope others take the time to read it as well. Thanks for the share.

She seems a bit self-centered to me. I have to admit that I have never heard of her before, so I don't know her history other than what she supplied in the article. Regardless of respecting her right to believe the way she wishes, I don't agree with most of her political and religious beliefs. I do agree with her opinion of some of the characters she talked about though. In my opinion, she seems to have an elite view of society and enjoys the spoils of others' efforts, while criticizing those around her from the protection of her perch. Just my opinion. She proclaims to be open minded and criticizes others for not being, while she admits to being an atheist and socialist. From my read of the article, I get the feeling that she is being condescending. I could be misjudging her, but I am only basing my opinion on her interview. I am always amused at how the elite embrace socialism until it effects their pocketbook, and proclaim to be atheists until cowering in the proverbial foxhole.

I am praying to the God of my choice that a hard core right winger becomes the next President. Life in America will again become perfect. Nothing to complain about. All those unused FEMA camps in Walmart can be opened up for the confinement of dissident liberals. Then America will become like our favorite trading partner China. No complaining or you disappear.Oh, wait a minute....China has a communist government!

Gotta love the mantra of liberals, advocating progress, liberty and freedom of choice. Did I say advocating? I meant DEMANDING. We have mistakenly called them liberals when the fact is that they are hard left wing. Liberal implies open minded.

Left wing or Right wing? This nation isn't going to settle any of its problems because its WINGS are out of balance.

Stewart is responsible for the intractable divide in this country????? WOW, couldn't be Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, or hannity, or Ann coulter, or any other Faux news commentator you could name, or the treasoness congressmen who made a pact to see that everything Obama proposed failed. John Stewart, the fake news comedian is responsible! Hahahahahaha.

What a genius post. So you're saying that conservatives are against progress, liberty, and freedom of choice?

This comes from the English teacher. What a! Verbs are not required in his class.

Why put a question mark at the end of your sentence? An explanation point is a lot more accurate. I forgot the religious right is all for freedom for choice, especially for the unborn child. Keep it up smiley face!
