1. Aside from her tribal attachment to the Democratic Party, she is a brilliant and perceptive academic. Liberals like her likely prefer the access afforded someone identifying as a Democrat rather than the obscurity or stigma of identifying as libertarian where she would likely fit in better, IMHO.

2. Never mind Camille, who I’ve always respected, what about Camille Trudeau

   1. More women should work in construction. So perhaps we should limit the number of women we train to be doctors, nurses, vets, and teachers. Ration should be 50% women and 50% women. More women need to enroll in engineering and in the trades.

      We are seeing the effect of gender inequality in our schools and in our medical system

   2. The Spawn believes in social engineering the 50% gender balance in not just his perfectly “balanced” cabinet but in all things. This is among the things that he thinks are legitimate functions of the state, that numerically matching vaginas and penises in all workplaces is of some higher intrinsic value and one worthy of being accomplished at gun point. Although in post secondary academia, health care and education, having a vagina count well in excess of 50% is of no particular concern to the “feminist” PM.

   3. What are the gender impacts when you bring the Kokanee Groper into a rural area?

3. Brilliant!

4. Camille Rocks!

5. “Democrats must hammer out their own image and agenda and stop self-destructively insulting half the electorate by treating Trump like Satan…

   “We’re back to the hypocrisy sweepstakes, where gestures of virtue are as formalized as kabuki. Humor has been assassinated. An off word at work or school will get you booted to the gallows. This is the graveyard of liberalism, whose once noble ideals have turned spectral and vampiric.”

   Meanwhile, somewhere near Dante’s gates of Hell and the allegedly the Democratic party there is a sign:

   All hope abandon ye who enter here.

   I don’t see the Dems improving in the near term anytime soon…

   The best medicine is to focus on Christmas, St. Nicolaas day tomorrow Dec 6th.

6. .
   Great insights from the only feminist i respect – tho her stating Slow Joe Biden would have won was jarring.
   .

7. I do like Paglia.

   Most of the modern left is far too full of either screamers or ninnies.

   And the ninnies are generally the men.

8. Then we have the other end of the spectrum with the Democrats/Liberals.

   The so called leaders, our PM, among them think they are all so smart that we deplorables and, Oh Yeah the blue collar construction and oil patch workers, are so stupid that THEY have to lower their intelligence level down to be able to relate to us. Lord give me the strength to last until the next election!

9. This coming election is going to be a hoot…
   ..on the democrats side….at least 20 or 30 candidates trashing and trolling each other…tearing each other apart
   with only one message….hate Trump

   And on the republican side…….Trump

10. “…comparative religion is the true multiculturalism and should be installed as the core curriculum in every undergraduate program.”

    No.

    Before they ever get to university, children must be made to understand that the God of Israel is the one God, and the multitude of reasons why we know that is so—including the systematic destruction of all human powers who denied and defied Him, and persecuted Israel.

    Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism are Satanic attempts to lead people astray by appealing to the vanity of this or that savage tribe. There is nothing in these cults worth understanding, any more than it is worth understanding the motives of a madman who murders children and drinks their blood.

    They cannot be reasoned with in some “dialogue.” The savages must be defeated in battle and conquered, and their gods demonstrated to be false and the cult leaders to be liars and thieves.

    Then, it is incumbent among the survivors to turn to the One God, and be forgiven. The savages have nothing to teach the civilized and much to learn.

    1. I wonder if you think the excesses of the inquisitions etc. by the Roman church cerca 400 to 1700 A.D. were more virtuous, less oppressive, than comparable systems of governance in place in those times which did not pretend to be “Christian?”

       1. Christianity is elusive for many. I always suggest a little more Christ and a little less theology and that would include looking at Christ from the Roman Church’s view point and history.

    2. There’s nothing wrong with teaching comparative religion; learning about various religions and their belief systems – like learning other languages – is a useful intellectual end in itself.

11. I have always known Camille Paglia to be a liberal and I thought also a progressive. After watching the discussion between her and Jordan Peterson I realized that, in my view, she was not a progressive and actually represented and presented much of what conservatism thinks these days.

    She is definitely worth listening to.

    L- The off word at SDA risks getting us so booted, too. Yet, we indulge in this gallows humour.
    Because, neither laughter nor veracity is stifled long by fear. Our holy quest, our grail sought is meaning.
