Captain America is a Pinko

If you've ever watched Fox and Friends then you know what's coming don't you? You can tell just by the screenshot in the youtube clip? If you haven't watched Fox and Friends then buckle up Sally, you're in for some HAWT TAEKS.

In the latest issue of Captain America (a book I'm not buying due to limited funds and not really caring that much about the creative team) the newest Captain America, Sam Wilson (who you may better know as Cap's long time sidekick The Falcon) comes to the aid of some illegal immigrants who just so happen to have run afoul of the Sons of the Serpent. The Sons of the Serpent aren't exactly on the same level as Hydra or AIM when it comes to comic book evil-doers but they've been around in comics for like 40 or 50 years. Originally created as a place holder for skin-heads or neo-nazis they've sort of evolved into this group of weirdos that sometimes worship the snake god Set, while still opposing racial, ethnic, and religious minorities.

Anyway Fox news and a few other conservative media outlets see a bunch of racist white guys and they immediately self-identify with them and before you know it COMIC BOOKS ARE JUST ANOTHER FORM OF LIBERAL ATTACKS FROM THE MEDIA THREATENING REAL AMERICANS WITH THEIR LIES... AND THEY TOOK OUR JERBS!

It's so dumb I barely wanted to say anything about it but I couldn't come up with another blog post today so here we are. The thing that's really stupid is that if you've ever read comics you're already pretty familiar with Captain America being a democrat. It's not like he's out stumping for Obama but you can tell he's always been more liberal than conservative. So have the X-Men, so have the Avengers, so have the Inhumans. Comic book writers and artists inject their books with a lot of their own personality and guess what? Artists and writers tend to lean towards the liberal spectrum of things, I know that's pretty shocking. Sorry I should have told you to sit down.

That's not to say that there aren't conservative voices in the medium, they're just in the minority. I don't know what to tell you other than that. It's a free market? I voted for Kodos?
