Those Ashamed Of America Shouldn't Make A Penny Off The Name
Though at one time barely considered worthy of the appellation of literature, scholars of popular culture have today established the thesis that comic books and other forms of media expression derived from these illustrated periodicals serve as a snapshot of the perspectives and assumptions prevalent at particular points in American history.
Certain characters and series evoke more reflection on certain aspects of culture and ideas than others.
For example, the Fantastic Four evoke reflection upon the loving but some times contentious relationship inside a family. The plight of the X-Men have been compared to assorted struggles for civil rights and social acceptance.
Likewise, the two characters that most epitomize what it means to be an American are none other than Superman and Captain America.
Interestingly, in recent interpretations of these characters, creators have done nearly everything in their artistic power to disassociate these characters from the nation as a whole.
For example, as almost as iconic as his bright red cape and the oversized “S”-shaped insignia on his costume is the credo summarizing his never-ending struggle for truth, justice and the American way.
However, the film “Superman Returns” poopooed those noble sentiments when Perry White instead uttered “Truth, justice, and ALL THAT STUFF.”
Given that Superman is from another planet and suppose to be the epitome of humanity (hence the name SUPERMAN), one might at least understand that the renowned Kryptonian might want to remain somewhat aloof from taking sides in the common conflicts plaguing the world and instead focus on those threats far beyond powers and abilities of mortal men.
A character named “Captain America” doesn't have such a luxury.
Even if Captain America disagrees with a policy of the United States government at any particular time such as in the case of the Marvel Civil War where a law was passed requiring costumed adventurers to publicly reveal their secret identities, the character must be identified with those values upon which the nation’s foundation rests and which true heroes must call institutions back to.
If one if going to rake in a fortune off of a character with a name like Captain America, the least you can do is not to view the word “America” in the same category as the vilest of profanities.
However, producers allowed the option of dropping the name Captain America from the title in overseas markets.
This is the equivalent of not wanting to call Superman “Superman” because part of the name offends feminists or because the prefix “super” offends hyper-egalitarians and fanatic pluralists denying the existence of gradations of value.
The countries that were listed as taking up distributors on the offer included Russia, Ukraine, and South Korea.
Russia and Ukraine might be understandable.
After all, both of these countries were once part of the Soviet Union and the totalitarian tendency at the heart of Communism in that part of the world is likely not as dead as Americans have been led to believe.
South Korea is a different story.
Since the 1950's, Americans have died and put their lives on the line to protect the lower half of that disputed peninsula.
If anything, South Korea ought to be at the front of the line pledging its support for Captain America being called “Captain America”.
Sophisticates might sneer down their noses at concern being expressed over a mere comic book character and movie.
However, it won’t be a laughing matter should those responsible for these forms of cultural expression undermine the perception of this nation as a shining city on a hill that is our last best chance on earth.

Quite revealing. The Pentagon rendered assistance to the producers of The Transformers but not The Avengers. So apparently government officials are willing to admit that there might be a covert struggle with intelligences from beyond this planet but the suggestion that there might be an ultrasecret organization manipulating the strings behind world events is a truth that the government must do everything in its power to curtail the dissemination of.
Contrary to what has been posted on the Facebook profile of one particular Reconstructionist, individual Christians do not necessarily have to ask ourselves why God has imposed a god-hater upon the presidency, insinuating the situation is somehow the fault of the average Christian. It is only the fault of those Christians that voted for him.

Pervert Terrorists Demand 9/11 Victims Adhere To Third World Dress Code

So if these aliens are to be this season of Young Justice's primary antagonists, does that mean that viewers are going to have to read most of the dialogue in subtitles? Given that most of the viewers of that program are of a bookish inclination to begin with, you'd think producers would take pity on those with diminished eyesight.
At the school where I vote, there hangs a sign notifying that during school hours visitors are required to show photo identification in order to enter the building. Given that the majority of the students are Hispanic (many with foreign born parents), that means at least one or two things. First, it means more Hispanics have legitimate forms of ID than the fuss raised about the issue in the leftist media. Secondly, if they do not, that means the public school system is granting access to children by adults for whom legitimate identification cannot be satisfactorily verified in the eyes of the state by utilizing the same standard imposed upon those of us belonging to the despised racial majority.
A series of readers aimed at Hispanic youth are titled "What It's Like To Be..." Each of the figures featured in the series is of Latino origins. Will there be an edition about George Zimmerman? If these youth are to read about fellow Hispanics, does that mean Whites should read primarily about Whites? How about a series of books about what it is like to be an American and how one ought to live by American standards when residing in the United States such as speaking English and not playing loud music in the wee hours of the night.
Diversitymongers are having a hissy fit over a cartoon of Obama "woking the dog". So it is racist if we assume that the other cultures of the world eat and cook as average Americans do. But it is also apparently racist to observe that other cultures do not eat and prepare food in the same way as Americans do.
Michael Savage insists that unless you have children, you have no business talking about family values. So will he remain consistent and invalidate the teachings of the Roman Catholic church? These fundamental values are universal values. One does not have procreate to oppose those that beat their spouses or progeny, shack up outside benefit of matrimony, and proceed to breed under the auspices of such illicit living arrangements.
The raging debate on the cover of the May 2012 edition of Art News is “Naked or Nude?”. Mind you, these are the very same effetes that insist no standards exist anyway. And if you are at the point of placing the unclothed human form on public display, you are pretty much at the point where it doesn’t really matter what you call it.

Christian School Propagandizes On Behalf Of Trayvon Martin
At Clinton Christian school in the Maryland suburbs outside of Washington, DC, students gathered in hoodies at a makeshift prayer vigil in support of Trayvon Martin.
Does the school intend to hold a rally in support of George Zimmerman as well if it turns out Martin instigated the physical aspect of the confrontation?
More importantly, does the school intend to hold a rally in support of the elderly couple that fled their home following death threats after Spike Lee posted the incorrect address for what the racially obsessed film producer thought was the alleged gunman's father?
It must also be asked, with the way things are done in Christian schools in order to coerce mass conformity, what threats were leveled against students not wanting to participate in such blatant activism?
It was been reported that Mr. Martin vandalized his school with graffiti and may have possessed on school premises a bag containing marijuana residue.
Back in my day where I attended Christian school, the ENTIRE student body would be denied the “privilege” of expelling concentrated metabolic and digestive wastes at the preferred time of one’s own body over less.
Though it is regrettable that Trayvon Martin perished in an altercation he may have instigated, it is rather ironic that a Christian school would elevate as worthy of adoration and emulation a figure that in all likelihood would have been expelled for his behavior.
Devoted Christian parents spend good money to protect their offspring from the manipulative debasement of American culture taking place in the public schools.
Any private school that allows such one-sided grandstanding to take place before all the facts have been established has betrayed not only this financial trust but also the sacred aide parents plead for in assisting them to raise their offspring in light of values honoring to both God and country.

As a private institution, Bob Jones administrators should be able to run their institution as they see fit. Likewise, we Christians not wanting our lives micromanaged are just as free not to go there and to warn others about excesses.

State Department Denies Terrorism Still Exists
WashingtonExaminer.com
If the War on Terror is over as one State Department functionary proclaimed, shouldn't we abolish the more onerous provisions of the Patriot Act such as those allowing the government to snoop through our library records and kick off the government payroll perverts doubling as security personnel in the nation’s airports? If there is no war against terror but the state continues to enforce these deprivations of liberty and personal dignity, aren’t we living in a police state bordering on dictatorship?

Rush Limbaugh insists New York Times staff on the verge of losing their pensions are getting what they deserve because of what the journalists have written over the years and for how they have voted. One could make a similar argument regarding Limbaugh’s deafness and cardiac events in light of his struggle with drug abuse.
Watching the Price Is Right, one should not be assaulted by Earth Day propaganda. One of the eco-conscious showcases featured a trip (no doubt consuming unnecessary fossil fuels) to the Spotted Dog Cafe. The establishment not only sounds like a place President Obama would like to eat but also what he would like to order from the menu.
And how does Rush Limbaugh suggest the aged unable to work or forced from gainful employment by physically superior youth pay for healthcare? And don’t tell me they should have saved enough by then. I know of someone whose nursing home care is $9000 per month. Most of us never even make that much per month. Should those of us that never will forfeit our right or privilege of continued existence?

Regarding the Violence Against Women Act up for reauthorization before Congress. Firstly, unless there is companion legislation specially protecting men, this law technically violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Secondly, since these crimes occur within the border of one particular state, why should they be of national federal concern?

Whoring Secret Service Agents Deserve No More Respect Than Drunken Paper Pushers
Sean Hannity is apprehensive about discussing the Secret Service prostitute scandal because of deep respect he possesses for the agency.
Then shouldn't he be as reluctant in detailing the GSA convention shenanigans as not every member of that agency participated in that squandering of taxpayer funds either?
Law enforcement or military personnel that betray the trust of the American people are deserving of no more respect than any other public employee that fails to live up to their obligations.
And they are perhaps even more deserving of greater condemnation since, unlike errant paper pushes caught going wild on someone else's dime, when these servants neglect their obligations the innocent could very well end up losing their very lives.

The special prosecutor in the Trayvon Martin case snidely remarked that, unless one has been involved in a similar kind of case, we mere serfs can't possibly understand the complexity of the issues involved. So perhaps George Zimmerman should point out that, unless a rampaging is beating your head against concrete, you can't possibly understand the necessity of defending yourself with such decisive force.

If Cuban Americans rampage in the streets wanting to deny the expression of ideas that they oppose, what makes them really all that different at their core than the dictator they claim to oppose? It’s just that they have not yet been able to violently put down their adversaries. So I guess the moral of the story is that opposing anyone opposing the prevailing ideological consensus should have an array of persecutions inflicted upon them ranging from outright existential liquidation to the deprivation of livelihood. Granted, the Florida Marlins are well within their rights contractually to dismiss an employee propagating an embarrassing message. However, one would think a group claiming to know the pains resulting from a disregard for freedom would be a bit more reluctant imposing a blossoming tyranny of their own.
Mayor Bloomberg has announced a campaign to abolish Stand Your Ground Laws across the countries that allow the individual to defend themselves against violent assault. As a mere municipal official, what business is it of Bloomberg what the laws are in another state. Perhaps rural sheriffs should now interject themselves into the policies decisions of Babylon on the Hudson. And if the average citizen cannot protect themselves with firearms, why ought police be permitted to?
Eric Holder has assured that Americans feel the pain of Trayvon Martin's parents. How about the pain of the White child set afire for daring the answer a Black history question? How about the pain of the elderly White man in Ohio nearly kicked to death by rampaging Trayvonites? Or how about the pain of the elderly couple driven from their home as a result of inaccurate tweets on the part of Spike Lee and Roseanne Barr? But I guess the victims of these crimes insufficiently resemble the visage of our exalted leader.

A yahoo headline condescendingly quips that Thomas Kincaid drew many fans but few critical raves. Wouldn't you rather rake in a fortune rather than snooty accolades? Most art critics are leftwing deviants anyway. Nearly everyone has heard of Thomas Kincaid. How many foo-foo art critics can you name? Thomas Kincaid's art emphasized the good, the true, and the beautiful. Most contemporary art emphasizes despair, the degraded, and the profane.

Burger King has been condemned for featuring a Black singer in a commercial about fried chicken. Diversitymongers claims a stereotype was promoted as a result. There is no winning with these people. If one had produced an advertisement featuring White folks, these malcontents would be all uppity about that.
Clucking Biddies Henpeck President
At a White House forum on woman's issues where President Obama was to be henpecked by a bunch of clucking biddies, he announced that his healthcare legislation included domestic violence screening.
The thing about bureaucrats is that they end up finding what they want to see even if what they are initially charged with looking for really isn't there.
So expect these investigations to go beyond black eyes and broken bones.
It must be warned that to these nags a man doing nothing more than raising his voice in frustration at a wife that's been texting all day rather than cleaning house or merely disrupting a woman during a verbal berating constitutes abuse of the first order.

An integral part of Obamacare is the curtailment of medical procedures to those deemed to be a poor return on the investment. Perhaps one of the procedures that ought to be abolished is artificial insemination, especially for the unmarried.

If Obama mouthpieces are now handing down edicts as to what genders should be admitted to the membership of a private country club, how long will it be until federal officials are telling you what genders may occupy your church pulpit? Will Obama demand men be granted access to female gyms and aerobics classes?
