The American Way

 

The Adventures of Superman

Faster than a speeding bullet!
More powerful than a locomotive!
Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound!
Look, up in the sky! 
It's a bird! 
It's a plane! 
It's Superman!
Yes, it's Superman, strange visitor from another planet, 
Who came to Earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men.
Superman, who can change the course of mighty rivers,
Bend steel in his bare hands, and
Who, disguised as Clark Kent,
Mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper,
Fights a never-ending battle for
Truth, Justice, and the American way. 

Thank you Representative Robert Garcia.

Rep. Robert Garcia made headlines because he intends to

" be proudly sworn-in to Congress on the U.S. Constitution. Underneath the Constitution will be three items that mean a lot to me personally: A photo of my parents who I lost to COVID, my citizenship certificate & an original Superman #1 from the library of congress"

The creators  of Superman, Jerome Siegel and Joe Shuster, were of course Jewish, as were many of the giants of the comic publishing Industry: Stan Lee ( born Liberman), Jack Kirby (born Jacob Kurtzberg), Bob Kane (born Kahn), etc., But more importantly until the Reagan era, all comic book heroes fought nobly for Truth, Justice, and the AMERICAN Way.  The comic book “heroes” who executed their enemies ( Marvel’s Punisher) or declared them insane because they did not agree with them (Batman’s Arkham Asylum) did not become popular until the 1980s.  Comic book publishing, like Hollywood and banking, was dominated by Jews because WASPs in the beginnings of those industries shunned any involvement.  But the marginalized people who joined those industries made them strong and powerful.  And throughout the early years of Superman, he assisted the People, including its government, in capturing (NOT PUNISHING) evil doers.  Oh, by the way, a strange visitor from another planet is by definition an immigrant to our planet.  Sounds like Rep. Garcia is someone I would want to support.
