Camille Paglia. Folks, read her whenever you can, but
this is a good start. She is a true liberal in the traditional (which is to say, 18th century) sense, proud of liberty, and freedom of speech, and differences of opinion, and personal success. Any liberal who listens to and defends Rush Limbaugh is worth a read. (And, as one who has read at least two of her books and innumerable articles, I can say she rarely disappoints.)
(For further proof,
read the letters that follow Paglia's column - now, anyone who is HATED that much on Salon should
definitely be read on Townhall!)
It's unfortunate, of course, that she's still so enamored with Barack Obama. But it's not surprising, and it's NOT because she is an America-hating communist like so many of Obama's other cheerleaders. She blames his gaffes on his goons. Nice try, but Barack runs the show, and if she thinks otherwise, she is being naive. But Camille Paglia is anything but naive, and so I think it is only a matter of time before she abandons him the way she abandoned the contemporary voices of "feminism." And I, for one, will be waiting with anticipation for
that essay.
