White Picket Fence

The Hollywood version of our Christian America was created by Jews. A quick-start guide to the phenomenon is Superman. He, like Batman and the Marvel superheroes, was the creation of Jews banned from the Christian publishing world. (Snip) His birth world, Krypton, had been destroyed (read: the Holocaust). He came to America with superpowers “far beyond those of mortal men” (an intellect honed by constant study, if you will), and he was committed to doing good in his adopted country. But he could be valued only if he clothed his identity.

We are all products of our experiences but this pushes the direct link a little too far. For example, super man first issue was 1938. Although Jews were being beaten, robbed and killed in Germany at that time, it wasn't yet a genocidal holocaust. Sometimes a story is just a story. Everyone wants to fly; Superman gave us that.

Apparently Superman is now bisexual which I'm sure, at least to some extent, pleases the apparently homosexual author. PS Why is there no H in LGBTQWERTY and such ? They forgot the Homosexuals ?

The article is one long non-sequitur. He acknowledges that Boomers treated America like the worst State in the world because it wasn't perfect, and then tries to contrast that with today's generation who treats America like the worst State in the world because it wasn't perfect. The truth is, the white picket fence world did, to a large part, exist in America for a very long time. Some here interpret it as a projection of perfect family life. It wasn't. But it was a much more perfect social life, because it was freedom from fear of The Other. it was freedom from fear of random physical harm by strangers. There were exceptions -- you have always been guaranteed the opportunity to be the victim of property crime in Democrat, metropolitan areas. That has endured for 100 years. I grew up in poverty in an Eastern rust-belt capital. We never locked our doors. Nobody was ever the subject of crime. (There were people on my street who survived on armed robbery of gas stations.) Even the elderly were safe. Then the Democrats started the holier-than-thou myth, where all pretend that Republicans were responsible for slavery, the Klan, and segregation. And they taught us to hate ourselves and each other. #ThanksObama

David Mamet must have had an unhappy childhood. Baby-boomers had everything. All advertising was aimed at them because their parents had the money to give them. Quite frankly, they were a spoiled generation. I think Mamet is suffering from Jewish guilt.

The first Superman comic book was published in June 1938. Two Jewish kids from Cleveland wanted to create a hero to fight the Nazis. Their comic book predates the Holocaust by four years. I too, grew up in a neighborhood where no one locked their doors, and everyone knew everyone else. Here's a joke about the author: A man was walking by a hobo and the hobo asked him for money. The man said, "'Neither a borrower nor a lender be.' That's from Shakespeare." The hobo said, "F*** you, that's from David Mamet."

David Mamet apparently had a much different experience, but during my childhood years, the picket fence was indeed a reality. Those 50's sitcoms were reflections of society (to an extent idealized reflections, of course), not fanciful visions of a life that did not exist. And Clark Kent/Superman had an origin and a backstory long before the Holocaust became a metaphor for anything.

I always thought that Superman was the commercialized version of Nietzche's "Ubermensch" that embodied the aspirations of the Nazi "super race". He was considered the "superior man" that justified the existence of the human race. Mamet's ethnic take on this seems a bit far-fetched, but I still agree with his observation of the equivalence of the "picket fence" and the "source of all evil" American mythologies that were created by Hollywood to sell tickets. The difference is that one was just saccharine pap while the other was pure poison that cynically taught a generation to hate and resent themselves and their cultural inheritance. Perhaps the next generation will have the intelligence and curiosity to perceive the unique aspects of the American culture that make it an enduring beacon of freedom in the world and the only new thing in history.

I often enjoyed the faculty lounge, and coffee break, when English professors were there, offering their weird, often conflicting interpretations of the works of various authors. This article took me back to those days. Then I thought of my late best friend, Hubert, who completed his coursework for a doctorate in English, but couldn't come up with a dissertation. Hubert was taking a doctoral level course in English, focused solely on the works of Norman Mailer, back in 1969. He was explaining to me what Mailer really meant in some of his novels, and I asked this question. What if Mailer walked into your classroom, listened, and then said, "You people are all wrong! That's not what I meant in that novel!" What would be the class response to Mailer be?. Hubert said, "His interpretation of his own work doesn't matter. We would ignore him."

is there any important work of literature which is NOT a story of exile? Pilgrim's Progress, Winter's Tale, the Tempest, Bernanos, Nabokov, the poetry of Hopkins and of TS Eliot, the Confessions of St. Augustine, the alienation in the Russian novels I would count too, and Amy Tan who I love though she may not be Shakespeare.

Superman could have been a celibate, or he was sterile from living in earth's atmosphere, who knows? The movies didn't make America, America made the movies. Midwestern America was very much like Andy Hardy and Mr. Smith in all its innocence and precociousness.

President Joe Biden so frequently and willfully tells lies about firearms that, if he were a podcaster talking about anything other than guns, aging rockers would trip over their walkers in a rush to sever even the most tenuous ties to him. Of course, we live in an age of misinformation and disinformation and probably should expect nothing better from the White House. But Biden proposes to impose ever-tougher rules based on his repetitive malarkey, illustrating the problem of governments wielding their vast regulatory apparatus based on misunderstandings and malice.

The first generation HPV vaccine cut cervical cancer rates among women by 87%, British researchers reported. The study published Wednesday in the journal The Lancet estimates that by mid-2019, there were 450 fewer cases of cervical cancer and 17,200 fewer cases of pre-cancers than expected in the vaccinated population. Researchers at Kings College London and the British government looked at population-based cancer registry data in the UK between January 2006 and June 2019 for seven groups of women, comparing those who were vaccinated to those who were not.

How July 4 Threatened the Confederacy 4 replies

One of the most regrettable developments of this summer in the United States is the way in which certain commentators have tried to pit the spirit of Juneteenth against the spirit of July 4, as if the two were in tension with one another. In fact, they are not. The essential concord that exists between the two holidays has been pointed out by other writers who stress that the final extirpation of slavery on Juneteenth was a follow-through on the promises and principles of July 4, not a repudiation of them.

Because it coincides as well with the conclusion of the battles of Gettysburg and Vicksburg in 1863, it is also a time to look back on the American Civil War. The men who led the Confederate States of America fought for a much worse cause than did the Founding Fathers, yet they drew inspiration from the Founders’ battle for independence. Why did they fail?

As expected, the Biden administration released proposed new rules for pistol braces and model legislation for "red flag" laws that make it easier to confiscate privately owned firearms. Also as expected, the proposals are ludicrous. On the one hand, they are pointless and nitpicky rules that are ultimately unenforceable, and on the other hand they are dangerous end-runs around due process that threaten fundamental rights. Taken together, they illustrate the unserious nature of gun regulations which are crafted more to appeal to political audiences than to achieve positive results.

Most Americans now favor legalizing marijuana, including large majorities across the political spectrum. Just this year, New Mexico, New York, and Virginia have eliminated state bans and opened the door to legal markets in the stuff. Even Congress is considering federal legalization (though the White House isn't necessarily on board). Via the ballot box and through legislation, authorities in the United States are reforming the treatment of marijuana and those who enjoy its use. But, as is so often the case, the impetus for change came much earlier—from scofflaws who did as they pleased, normalized the use of an

It’s my considered opinion that the San Francisco-based House Speaker is filled to the gills in the clip you’re about to witness. It’s bad enough when a Blue Enclave progressive tries to explain military and geopolitical events, like an internet rando on fentanyl trying to explain rocket science to Elon Musk.

Amid economic turmoil for the American people, their representatives in Washington gave their offices a double-digit raise this month even as the average American worker finds their real wages decreasing due to inflation that outpaces wages at new.If you missed Congress giving itself a little pat on the back, that's understandable — members aren't likely to tout outside the beltway how they're filling their own office coffers, plus the funding increase for congressional offices was just one part of the 2,700+ page omnibus bill that funded the U.S. government to the tune of some $1.5 trillion.

Former President Donald Trump is effectively ruling out tapping former Vice President Mike Pence as his running mate should he mount a third White House bid in 2024 and win the Republican nomination. “I don’t think the people would accept it,” Trump told the Washington Examiner Tuesday evening during a wide-ranging telephone interview from Mar-a-Lago, his private social club and political headquarters in Palm Beach, Florida. The former president cited friction stemming from the aftermath of the 2020 election, suggesting their differences are too stark to overcome. Trump claimed the contest was stolen and wanted Pence to overturn the results during the congressional certification of President Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.
