Camille Paglia is the only current leftist I know of who seems to show any classic liberal tendencies, i.e., she may not agree with what someone says but she’ll find for that person’s right to say it.
1. We do not live in a democratic country. We live in a Representatuive Republic.
I had this agrument with my flaming liberal older sister. Sometimes it’s easier to just ignore them. Since I didn’t stupid her I can’t unstupid her.
And yet she uses the language of the fascist and fanatical left. I disagree with folks who like prunes yet I do not have an irrational fear of prunes so I could not be called pruneophobic. I like Paglia for her embrace of freedom and could happily go through life not knowing how she indulges her wants or needs but it certainly instills no fear in me knowing how she does.
But she is, without a doubt, smarter and a bigger freedom loving person than a guy like Bill O’Reilly will ever be.
The Christian does not have views against gays, but against choosing the sin of homosexuality. If they don't choose the sin of homosexuality, there are no homosexuals. Phil Robertson got it right -- it is the sin that is the issue and the sinner, which is all of us, needs to get right with God concerning it.
****people have the right to be homophobic****
She wont truly be intellectually honest until she loses that stupid canard.

I am also surprised that someone who is making the case for being intellectually honest is using that word.
