Dave: You write like somone who’s spent his whole life as part of a liberal group-think institution. Like you never left college. Are you sure it’s safe to venture out here into America?

Captain America does fight all those other enemies–in the regular series he’s been thwarting a plot by a terrorist who set up a private country along the border of Kazakhstan, and he fights jihadists in Iraq in the Ultimates. The point is, we have homegrown terrorists like McVey who do about as bad as Al Qaeda (I was in OK after that, I know what it did to people there). Captain America was designed to represent America and fight America’s enemies. If you support the right wing in its establishment of the Department of Homeland security, how can you bash Cap in Boise? He’s not fighting teabaggers, he recognizes that a tea bag rally is where a right wing group like the one that has been creeping into Pocatello, ID and painting and posting signs all over town lately is going to try to recruit from the disaffected like any cult does, including members of tea bag rallies. He’s there because a rally like that (like the Huston Tea Party where TeaParty.org operator was running around with a sign that said taxpayers are n*gg*rs) is where you will find a group like the Watchdogs lurking around.

Don’t forget the name the comunists gave Bucky, “Winter Solder”. Any person associated with anything called Winter Soldier is comunist to the core.

So should they rename him Captain B+?

It’s alright. If he’s really a liberal superhero he’ll never actually have the guts to punch anyone.

Let me display my total comic book geekery here for a bit. The current Captain America is his original sidekick, Bucky. Instead of being killed in a violent explosion way back in the 40′s (the way all good sidekicks should be) he survived and frozen just like Steve Rogers. A Soviet submarine found him. They revived him and brainwashede him into being a top assassin for the Communists. Eventually he is found by the Red Skull and sent after Captain America, but good old Cap broke through to him and freed him. When Captain America was killed, Bucky took up the mantle. I guess the liberal slant comes from his residual commie brain washing. Sorta like a comic book version of John McCain.

The stereotypes in the comic and how they affect the readers reaction can be described best by this review of James Cameron’s Avatar (same guy who did the Phantom Menace review):

Since I’ve been to Tea Party events in Boise, I’m personaly taking this as the writer is calling me an Bigoted idiotic hick. Capitan America started out as the living embodyment of what made America great. Now he’s everything Liberals think is wrong with America and their way of dealing with it. Next time I buy a Marvel comic I’m sticking to Deadpool and Garth Ennis writen charecters (Punnisher, Nick Fury).

This sort of lefty propaganda is why I gave up collecting comic books.
(also because they killed off the Martian Manhunter, and my local comic book shop closed)
I knew Capt. America.
Capt. America was a friend of mine. (sort of)
You, sir, (the current version) are no Capt. America!

I’ve mentioned this before, but the typical comic book writer is the ultra-comic book fan, and that basically means someone more concerned with painting a fantasy world where things work outside of not only social but physical reality. Such a person is naturally going to be drawn to leftist ideology and other get-high-entology. (to paraphrase Space Monkey).

Speaking of, I’m going to have to dig through my file archives to see if I still have that IMAO podcast where SpaceMonkey keeps getting shot in the face. I had a little accident with a slug barrel sight a few weeks ago and I’m thinking that will be even more amusing now.

Just ’cause I’m snarky doesn’t mean I take my ego too seriously.

I actually died a little inside. Captain America stood for personal freedom from an oppressive Government just a few years ago. It was the Marvel Civil War. Now he stands for following lock-step in with the government no matter what they do to erode personal freedom.

There were only two superheroes that I unfailingly believed in and agreed with Captain America was one of them, now I just have the Punisher.

the best captain america is the ultimate version written by mark millar. the funny thing about it is the guy (millar that is) is actually a socialist. but he writes cap as such a 1940′s american guy sort of way that its great.

best quote.

This is what happens when you dont fight fire with fire in the culture wars. What was our side obsessed with instead instead? Oh yea Iraq. Sure am glad they are free, man that was totally worth it.

Let me guess they’ll make BatMan a pedophile, the joker a hero, Superman the first gay super here who’s butt whistles when he flies, and the Punisher a commie pinko tranny.

Captain Not-So-American? Captain Liberal Bedwetter? Captain Pelosi?

It’s gotton so bad they won’t even leave our comic books alone. The Puiosher becomes the The Timeouter. The Incedible Hulk becomes The Oprah Therapy Boy. .And Aquaman becomes, well, Aquaman.

The first comic book I ever purchased was Captain America #254. That’s the one he KILLED Baron Blood in. He killed a villian. A Nazi Vampire. He was a little angsty about killing him, but he killed him because that’s what needs to be done with vampires. Especially glittering ones (Baron Blood didn’t glitter). The vampire being a nazi was just bonus points. What’s happened to this guy?

So any bets on who our first gay Super-Hero will be? Apart from Aqua-”Man” of course!
