Commentary Telling It Like It Is To Those That Might Not Want To Hear It & Links To News Around The Internet
My concern is that there will be no more Spider-man comics.
Disney set the precedent when the company had Marvel cancel the Fantastic Four because Fox had the movie rights.
It is only now that Disney has acquired Fox that the Fantastic Four has returned.
So what is to prevent something similar from happening to Spider-man?
Though Trumpism draws its inspiration from Buchananism, Buchananism is not necessarily the same thing as Trumpism.
The two are ultimately distinct phenomena.
Buchanan has always comported himself as a dignified Christian gentleman even if one disagrees with his ideas.
As such, this out cry to remove him from a program of which he was probably as much the creator of as its eponymous founder proves that these critics are not about elevating the dialog or softening the discourse.
Rather it is about the purveyors of collectivism suppressing ideas they cannot otherwise refute and which expose the promises of unbridled pluralism as little more than postmodern barbarity.

First, such outcry explicitly contradicts the very multiculturalism that such protestations purport to defend.
For if one locality is no better than any other in terms of the desirability of the culture, physical geography, and the people living there, why all the faux outrage?
Secondly, particularly in the cases of Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, perhaps if this duo did not constantly denigrate America, the President would not have assumed that their first loyalties lay elsewhere.
Critics have pointed that Ilhan Omar has in fact been a U.S, citizen longer than First Lady Melania Trump.
And what about it?
Melania did not gain notoriety and political office on the basis of how much she despises America as constituted by the Founding Fathers.
Nor did Melania perpetrate a convoluted identity theft scheme where to this day a definitive answer cannot be provided as to whether or not she married her brother in the attempt to pull it off.
It is too bad that those outraged over Trump's outbursts are not as concerned regarding the possible links of Omar and Tlaib to assorted forms of jihadist terrorism.
