One of the most depressing features of being an American today lies in the fact that the left has declared total war on every facet of our shared culture. You know, when you went out with your friends, you went out with your family, it used to be that you could at least, if you disagreed about politics, you could at least talk movies or sports or something. But now, the left has taken over everything and they've polarized everything. There's nothing for us to talk about together anymore. It isn't enough for them to produce movies with Steve Carell and Julian Moore and Ellen Page about lesbian black house painters seeking legal protection for a conveyance of property. Now they've even taken over the comic books, and they've hijacked them. And this really irritates me because as a fan of comic books, these are some of the most iconic characters in American history. They're not creating new ones. They're just taking the old ones and perverting them, which is a real disgrace to what the comic books are. The latest run of Captain America is a great example. It features the newest cap, Sam Wilson, taking on the Sons of the Serpent. So who are the Sons of the Serpent? They're an evil group of Tea Party types. They're Minutemen, basically, and they're intent on stopping illegal immigration. The writer is a guy named Nick Spencer. He's an ardent opponent of Donald Trump, and he slathered the comic with his dislike for conservatives. The Sons of the Serpent amass at the border to stop, these poor bewildered illegal immigrants. and that's when the sons of the serpent leaderass at the border to stop these poor bewildered illegal immigrants.

And that's when the sons of the serpent leader, he announces,

I am the supreme serpent by invading this sovereign land.

You defy the laws of God, nature, and the United States Constitution.

Therefore, I hereby apprehend you by the power vested in me by the aforementioned God,

nature, etc., etc.

Whereupon one of the illegal immigrants cries, please, whoever you are, we don't want any trouble.

But the supreme serpent will have none of it. He continues, quote, until the mighty wall is built,

you come here for employment that is rightfully ours. And if denied it, you seek welfare paid by our tax dollars.

So basically, the son of the serpent is Donald Trump. Well, thankfully, Captain America then

shows up to shut down Donald Trump and the Minuteman wannabes shouting, quote, if you're done

threatening a bunch of unarmed folks, mostly women and children, I'd pack up the pickup and head

home if I were you, gentlemen. This is Captain America now.

Captain America is Barack Obama and Luis Guadheras all rolled up into one.

And he's not the only one.

Superman, obviously.

If there are three iconic American characters, superhero characters,

would be Superman and Batman and Captain America.

The left's going after all three of them.

Superman, you remember, he used to be a friend to the cops. He tried to help out the authorities to stop crime. Well, not anymore. In the latest run of Superman Action Comics 42, the temporarily powerless man of steel, he ends up on the wrong side of the police. The police are a group of faceless fascists looking to shut down any discussion. There's actually a scene in which one of the protesters, it's supposed to be like Ferguson, one of the protesters walks up to the police and says, we just want to talk, and the police threatened to hit them with a stun grenade, which is when Superman arrives to take on the riot squad. This follows on the incredibly overrated Grant Morrison, seriously overrated comic book writer, making Superman a black

president of the United States back in Action Comics No. 9 in 2012, just in time for the elections.

And then there is Batman number 44. This came out just a couple of months ago, in which the
