WONDER WOMAN: ROLE MODEL AND/OR "FEMINIST" ICON?

 

Wonder Woman is the brainchild of writer and psychologist William Moulton Martin--yes, a MAN--who made her first appearance in the comics back in 1941. For those few of you who don’t know who Woman Woman actually is, she’s an Amazonian-esque princess who lives on an island called--you guessed it!--Paradise Island devoid of men who decides to go to Man’s World to help fight the good fight with the help of her “magic” lasso and bullet-stopping bracelets and Invisible Plane and whatnot (or something like that!). Wonder Woman, like many superheroes, has gone through various changes throughout the years. At one point, she even “loses” her superpowers and becomes a more “normal” superhero. For some reason, feminists who’ve long regarded WW as some sort of feminist icon--Gloria Steinem’s Ms. Magazine even featured WW on the front cover of the first issue--weren’t too happy about this and pestered the producers of the WW comic to change her back, which, of course, they eventually did. Quite frankly, I never understood the whole “feminist icon” thing since Wonder Woman is scantily-clad AND big-bosomed, which, of course, are two things feminists normally don’t care all that much for. They [the feminists] insist that Wonder Woman is a good role model for young girls by somehow showing them [young girls] can do anything . . . So long as they have magical powers and wear the American flag as underwear! (It kind of reminds me of when the feminists lauded the movie Thelma & Louise as the ultimate feministic film when, in reality, it was a blatant rip-off of a B-movie called--wait for it!--Assault Of The Killer Bimbos!) Anyway, I have to admit I’ve never been the biggest Wonder Woman fan. As a kid when I was heavily into comics, I was always more into the lesser-known superheroes and that, of course, included the super heroines, including Wonder Woman-esque Valkyrie, Hellcat (both from The Defenders, which was one of my favorite comics growing up), Scarlet Witch and Madame Masque (who was Tony Stark a.k.a. Iron Man’s girlfriend and who is probably regarded in Comic Book World as more of a villainess than an actual super heroine). I don’t even remember watching the much-ballyhooed seventies TV series starring the voluptuous Lynda Carter as the titular (pardon the pun!) title character, although I, of course, did definitely watch it in reruns in later years. In recent years, Wonder Woman has gone through yet another change when she was given a brand new--and more “conservative”--outfit much to the reported chagrin of her diehard fans (and I’m sure that includes the feminists!). As for Wonder Woman being some sort of role model, feminist or otherwise, to paraphrase the late great George Carlin, if your kid needs a role model and you ain’t it, then you’re BOTH, well, screwed (and, of course, GC used another word for screwed!)!





TED NUGENT: THE DRAFT DODGER/"SERIAL PEDOPHILE" OF ROCK!

When he’s not seemingly threatening the President at NRA conventions, he’s boasting of how much underage--as he would put it--”pointing” he’s gotton over the years (more on THAT in a bit!). Ted Nugent has been a darling of the right-wing, both the extreme and not-so-extreme, for years thanks to his diehard “love” of firearms and/or hunting--which has led, of course, to his membership in the NRA--and his equally diehard “support” of anything and everything even remotely right-wing in this country. For instance, this is what The Nuge had to say about what he’d like to see happen in this country: “I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want them dead. Get a gun, and when they attack you, shoot them.” (So much for due process, huh?) This, of course, is tough talk coming from an A-Hole who’s bragged about shacking up for a number of years with an underage girl--in other words, a child--and how he kept his "conservative" ass out of jail for statutory rape when he went to the girl’s parents and used some of that legendary Nugent charm to persuade them to allow him to become their little girl’s guardian so he could legally keep banging her. Gives new meaning Nugent’s famed moniker Uncle Ted, doesn’t it? “Uncle” Ted is also an impassioned hunter, which he wrote about in gruesome, near-orgasmic detail in a book that was published in 1991 called, appropriately enough, Blood Trails. Ted’s zealous love of hunting caused him to lend his support in convincing the House of Representatives in Michigan where he resides to repeal that state’s ban on hunting--and, no, I’m not making this up!--mourning doves. Said The Nuge of his legislative victory: “I’m Rosa Parks with a 12-gauge!” Mr. Nugent, not surprisingly, has been an ardent supporter of former "President" George W. Bush’s “wars” in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. I’ve seen Ted going on various talk shows (right-wing, of course!) to denounce what he’s referred to as the “leftist-leaning liberals” of Hollywood and anyone who dared criticize Dubya’s “wars” in Iraq and/or Afghanistan. Again, this is tough talk for an A-Hole who’s also boasted of how he evaded serving his beloved country during the Vietnam War by showing up to his draft board with a load of shit in his pants (John Wayne, are you listening?). Besides, do we really need lessons on how to be a Good American Patriot from an A-Hole who penned the song Wang Dang Sweet Poontang? Nope, I didn’t think so. Not only that, but Ted Nugent by-now-infamously called himself a, and I quote, serial pedophile--let me repeat--SERIAL PEDOPHILE on the VH-1 show "Behind the Music" while he was actually bragging about all the "underage" groupies he was doing the deed with back during his "Cat Scratch Fever" heyday. He even termed such "underage" diddling on the show as--again, I quote--alternative flesh management. Which shouldn't really be so surprising since about half of all The Nuge's songs are about his love of what he's termed "the underage" with ditties like the appropriately-titled Jailbait, Little Miss Dangerous (which he admitted he wrote for his then-"underage" live-in lover), the aptly-titled I Am A Predator and the aforementioned Wang Dang Sweet Poontang. I mean, do you think Cat Scratch Fever was an actual disease? Oh yeah, he also reportedly "met" his first wife when she was reportedly 13--or was it 14?--years-of-age. While I’ve long been a “fan” of Ted Nugent’s music (although I no longer buy his music due to his rampant Republican-ass-kissing and whatnot), I think his political and/or personal views make him come across as the most insufferable moronic dumbass who makes even the biggest dumbass celebrity--like, say, Donald Trump--come across as Albert freakin’ Einstein! Which is why I regard Ted Nugent as the Donald Trump of rock (without, of course, all the admitted child-raping!). And THIS is the A-Hole whom former Presidential candidate Mitt Romney sought out his endorsement? 

Oh yeah, here's the clip of the infamous Behind The Music episode where Ted Nugent admitted, even boasted about, his numerous "affairs" with UNDERAGE girls. Enjoy!

PAT BUCHANAN: THE LEFT'S FAVORITE RIGHT-WING BIGOTED NAZI

 
Pat Buchanan, a former Nixon/Reagan crony who co-hosted the legendary political hack-fest Crossfire, has made a virtual career out of touting who he feels is—and in particular who isn’t—a “real” American (such as himself, of course!). Some of these “unreal” Americans include Mexicans (in particular “illegal” immigrants as Pat has said if he were elected President he would erect a “great wall” around Texas borders to “protect” us—i.e. White Americans—from “illegal” immigrants, although Pat’s very own grandma was among the slew of Irish Catholics—of which Pat claims to be a proud one of—who fled to this country due to the Irish potato famine), women (whom Pat has stated should not share the same “rights” as men), homosexuals (whom Pat has referred to as the “pederast proletariat” whom he feels actually deserve to die of AIDS), African-Americans (whom Pat has actually stated are not as easy to “assimilate” into proper society as Caucasian/European-Americans whom he speaks so fondly of and also how “Negroes” were happier under segregation and even penned a column wherein he all but justified, as Rush Limbaugh has done, slavery along with apartheid), homeless people (whom Pat has said ought to be locked up for “threatening women and children” every day on the street even though, according to a number of statistics, a good number of homeless people are in fact women and children, not to mention that over a third of this nation’s homeless population are in fact war Veterans), and, most of all, Jews (as Herr Buchanan once reportedly attempted to prove how the diesel fuel that was used at the notorious Nazi death camp Treblinka could not have possibly produced fumes toxic enough to have killed the hundreds of thousands of Jews who died there, and Fuhrer Pat also criticized Jews as being “disloyal” for daring to criticize his former boss Ronald Reagan’s trip to a Bitburg, Germany ceremony honoring—that’s right!—Nazis, not to mention that Pious Pat penned a political tome that was published during the 2000 so-called elections—where Pat was running as the official candidate of Ross Perot’s now-defunct Reform Party, by the way—wherein he reportedly argued how America should not have fought Hitler during World War II). Pat Buchanan has also proudly boasted of how he was all for the little-guy/working-man in this country yet, according to another expose that was published years ago in Penthouse magazine (again, before Penthouse—like, of course, Playboy—began to dumb itself down), Pat and his (fill in the blank for yourself!) sister Bay Buchanan both have a reported reputation for regularly screwing over their campaign workers and/or other staffers during Pat’s campaigns for President (where he has—thank God!—lost every time). Also, while co-hosting the MSNBC show Buchanan & Press with noted “liberal” pundit Bill Press (who, unlike his Fox News’ counterpart Alan Colmes, can actually call himself “liberal” with a straight face!), Pat insisted how the Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines (more on her in a bit) should “apologize” to President Bush for daring to criticize him and his insipid war in Iraq even though Pat himself had initially criticized not only Dubya’s Iraqi “war” but his father’s Persian Gulf War as well, saying how he didn’t feel that “worthless” Kuwaiti emir was worth a single American marine. I’m personally waiting for Pat Buchanan to “apologize” to all of the people he’s criticized, belittled & condemned over the years who aren’t Rich, White & Republican like himself! Besides, speaking strictly for myself, I don’t want an A-Hole who’s openly praised the likes of Adolf Hitler—by reportedly calling him “an individual of great courage”—to decide who—and especially who doesn’t—“belong” in America or especially on who—and who doesn’t—constitute as a “good” American, do you? Oh, by the way, Pat Buchanan—and not, as you might’ve guessed, Bill O’Reilly!—was the A-Hole who initially coined the insipid idiom “culture war” during a predictably controversial speech of which he gave at the 1992 Republican National Convention to reportedly distract voters from the bad economy at the time. Just thought you’d like to know! But you know, come to think of it, maybe Pat Buchanan is right after all about not letting “illegal immigrants” into this country. I mean if Grandma Buchanan hadn’t been allowed to “immigrate” to this grand country along with all of Pat’s other Irish immigrant ancestors, then chances are we wouldn’t have had to deal with Pat Buchanan’s racist & intolerant—not to mention Nazi-esque!—bullshit all these years! You think? And, for all of you “European-Americans” who feel I’ve been unjust or unfair in my criticism of Mr. Buchanan, consider that renowned “conservative” newspaper columnist William Safire conceded years ago in Playboy that Pat was very much indeed a—hold on to your hats, folks!—anti-Semite. Again, just thought you’d like to know! Lastly, I can’t help but notice how many—or most—within the “liberal” media have yet to widely rebuke Pat Buchanan for his too-many-to-count bigotries; like, for instance, the following is an excerpt from Pat’s scarcely-scrutinized column aptly-titled “A Brief for Whitey”: “America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known . . . We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?” Oh yeah, MSNBC finally fired Pat's bigoted Nazi-loving ass NOT for the aforesaid piece but for the following piece where he wrote: “Those who believe the rise to power of an Obama rainbow coalition of peoples of color means the whites who helped to engineer it will steer it are deluding themselves. The whites may discover what it is like to ride in the back of the bus.” I don’t feel there’s anything else that needs to be said about Pat Buchanan, do you? 

 

 



WILLIE HORTON: THE LEFT'S FAVORITE MURDEROUS RAPIST

 

Willie Horton has been the poster boy--and, no, I do NOT mean that in any “racist” way--of The Right’s racism ever since he was featured in that by-now-infamous campaign ad during the 1988 Presidential (so-called) elections. In the ad that targeted former Vice-President George Bush’s opponent Michael Dukakis, it brought up the inexplicable prisoner furlough program instituted in Massachusetts when Dukakis was governor of that state. The ad prominently featured Mr. Horton as the primary reason for the apparent failure of said prisoner furlough program. The Left pounced on the “use” of Willie Horton in the ad, saying how “racist” it was for the Bush camp to “use” him like this since, needless to say, Horton was an African-American. However, what WASN’T mentioned by The Left is why Willie was prominently featured in said ad and/or why he was even incarcerated in the first place.

Willie Horton was initially incarcerated after he had brutally stabbed to death a 17-year-old convenience store worker during a robbery ever after said 17-year-old convenience store worker gave him--and his cohort--all the money. But Willie Horton’s heinously brutal crime spree did NOT end there. Again, then-Massachusetts governor Michael Dukakis implemented the aforementioned prisoner furlough program that allowed about a dozen prisoners to actually leave prison for an entire weekend. Among those dozen or so prisoners was none other than Willie Horton who was allowed to “participate” in the program in spite of the brutal nature of his crime (he had also reportedly sliced off the 17-year-old worker’s genitals and shoved them in his mouth as he lay there dying). While he was out on said furlough, Willie Horton proceeded to kidnap a husband and wife where he tied the husband up and forced him to watch while he brutally beat and raped his wife repeatedly. However, in spite of the sheer brutality of Willie Horton’s multiple crimes, if you Google Horton’s name even today you’ll find countless articles from various people on The Left about how “shameful”--and, of course, racist--George Bush and The Right was to “use” Willie Horton the way they did while saying nothing--I reiterate--NOT A DAMN THING about his brutal crimes.

I myself was not aware of what Willie Horton had done until I read about it in books by Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter (whom I am NOT a fan of, by the way). Of course, if The Left had in fact acknowledged the sheer brutality of Willie Horton’s crimes, then they [The Left] would know that they couldn’t prop him up as a poster boy--again, I do NOT mean this is a racist way--for The Right’s perceived racism as if HE were the real “victim” and not the actual victims of his crimes. While I’m certainly no ardent supporter of The Right and have my own issues with the (so-called) Right in this country (reread my article on Ted Nugent), it’s examples like Willie Horton that make likewise NOT a “supporter” of The Left in this country. Granted, there are abundant examples of The Right’s actual racism that The Left could--and have--focused on So why in the left-wing hell they [The Left] has chosen to focus so much of their time on Willie Horton is beyond me. The bottom line is, Willie Horton is a murderous rapist of the WORST kind who deserves to rot away in a jail cell for the rest of his miserable useless life and is not--I repeat--NOT a damned “victim” in ANY way, shape or form. And I say to hell with anyone from The Left--or elsewhere--who “supports” this murderous rapist bastard. The same way I say to hell with Willie Horton.
