Camille Paglia: On Trump, Democrats, Transgenderism, and Islamist Terror
In a wide-ranging interview Paglia talks about Donald Trump's successes, how Chuck Schumer emboldened the "resistance," why the left can't condemn Islamist terrorism, and "the cold biological truth that sex changes are impossible."

Here's a couple key quotes:

The reluctance or inability of Western liberals to candidly confront jihadism has been catastrophically counterproductive insofar as it has inspired an ongoing upsurge in right-wing politics in Europe and the United States. Citizens have an absolute right to demand basic security from their government. The contortions to which so many liberals resort to avoid connecting bombings, massacres, persecutions, and cultural vandalism to Islamic jihadism is remarkable, given their usual animosity to religion, above all Christianity...
Right now, too many secular Western liberals treat Islam with paternalistic condescension—waving at it vaguely from a benevolent distance but making no effort to engage with its intricate mixed messages, which can inspire toward good or spur acts of devastating impact on the international stage.

 

 

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Camille Paglia is my favorite atheist socialist lesbian feminist. Obviously she and I come from vastly different perspectives, but we share so many common criticisms. I'd love to have a beer with her and hash out some issues for a couple hours.

I doubt many of the other, atheists, socialist, lesbians, or feminist would like to sit down and have a beer with her, so your chances are pretty good. Her common sense, and understanding are enough to get her ostracized by those who identify with her social stances.
