ORIGINAL: FatDomDaddy Oh well...yes, I can see where voting Clinton, Nader, Kerry, Obama has you thinking she is conservative Sounds like everyone in your world falls into one of two tidy boxes: "liberal (bad)" or "conservative (good)." Humankind strikes me as a bit more nuanced than that, and Paglia exemplifies the folly of easy labels. A Sydney Morning Herald story about her said, "She declared she felt 'closer as a secular humanist to evangelicals than to the elite professors of universities'. Strange bedfellows for a lesbian libertarian, but she says this is because they are passionate about the Bible, its stories and its meaning, and directly engage with it." Whatever Paglia is, she's not a garden-variety liberal.
