This blog will not be limited in it's content. I hope to post on just about anything that crosses my mind, when I have the time to write. One thing I want to do here is something that I don't think any other conservative blog is attempting to do. I want to establish a regular review of comic books.
Comic Books?!? You Say? Could there be anything more trivial and time wasting than comic books?
Yes, actually, there is. Have you sat through 30 minutes of your local news or been forced to watch CNN while waiting to board a plane?
Comic books are genre that is feeding our young all kinds of the most radical Left Wing nonsense one might imagine.
A major comic publisher is producing a massive series, spanning seemingly dozens of titles, that depicts America as a fascist, racist state. It does this while America is at war with a very real fascist, racist, misogynistic, theocratic enemy.
I hope to make conservatives aware of what their kids might be reading. If you are concerned that you children might be forced to read Howard Zinn's anti-American People's History, then you should certainly be worried about what they read in the latest issue of Spiderman. There is more correspondence between those two works then you think.
I also hope to point out some very interesting works of fiction that might otherwise be ignored because "it's just a comic book, after all." Do you happen to know that a popular novelist wrote a comic book that included a character based on G. K. Chesterton? Or that a comic book, that was made into a relatively successful film, took a positive view toward an American governmental security agency (OK, so what if it was a fictional agency? In this genre you take what you can get).
So here's to setting off on what may be a strange blogging journey. I hope some readers find me, and together we can commiserate about the incredible infusion of Left Wing politics in the comic book industry.
If comic books are not your thing, don't worry. There will be bits and bobs of politics, the War against Islamo-Nazism, Liberal Lunacy in Washington D.C. and Hollywood, and perhaps a film or book review here and there.
