the liberal corruption of superheroes

There's a column in today's Sunday Denver Post by David Harsanyi entitled "Where have all the superheroes gone?" It's a good column. Harsanyi points out how in the 1940s comic superheroes supported the war effort and were all about beating the Axis powers and in the 1980s movie heroes such as Rambo were all about beating the bad guys. In today's comics, Marvel (may they be forever cursed) have killed off Captain America for pete's sake. Harsanyi views this as reflecting the moral ambiguity in modern society. I have a different take on it, I see it as the comic industry being taken over by liberals. I mean there's a storyline currently running in DC's Justice League of America about the government sending supervillains to some kind of prison planet (not following due process) and other supervillains seeking sanctuary from the JLA. This is obviously a thinly veiled commentary on Guantanamo Bay. There are lots more examples such as this. I think getting some idealogical balance in the media should extend to the comics industry!
