Kathleen Parker’s final sentence in the article as quoted --
"White males -- descendant as they are of the imperialistic, colonizing, native-raping patriarchy -- are the new culturally approved targets of the lynch mob."
I found it interesting that she mentioned race, class, and sex as elements in this sensationalized media event; however, nowhere in her piece will you find the words "feminism" or "misandry."
While race, class, and sex surely enter into this contemptible media lynching, forty plus years of radical feminism and the consequent demonizing of men-as-a-species in the social imagination laid the groundwork for this rush to injustice --- and created the "cultural approval" that Ms. Parker neglects to attribute.
(The reference to a lynching is especially eerie, given the documented historical connections between modern radical feminism and the Klu Klux Klan's women's division.)
Has N.O.W.’s prez-gal Kim Gandy weighed in on this case yet? I'm sure she'd be all for fairness, due process, and respecting the anonymity of the true victims, right?
Apparently not, as her vanity press web-site (now.org) is too busy mobilizing women to call ABC to protest the cancellation of the fantasy-fem-prez show "Commander in Chief."
Well, a girl’s gotta have priorities. Especially if she speaks for millions of ordinary women.

""Commander in Chief"".
"COMMANDER IN CHIEF" was not a badly written show. The acting was pretty fair and Geena Davis was reasonable in the role.
However, I have my own theory as to why it failed. I believe it failed BECAUSE of it's heavy feminist premise. That and because people (especially men) have grown very tired of the political correctness being shoved down their throats by the media. And "COMMANDER IN CHIEF" was nothing if not politically correct.
I also believe that it's quick demise is an indicator that America is not yet ready for a female president. And the feminists (and many women) have only themselves to blame.
I know of no man (including myself) that would vote a female for president, at this time. Why is that? Is it because of the "Patriarchy"? Because of "Misogyny"? Because men want to "keep women down"? Nope, not at all. It is because for the past 30 plus years we have been told as men just how much women hate us, like to hurt us, and laugh when male rights are violated. With that in mind what sort of laws, rules and regulations do many men fear that a FEMALE president would put in place? From what feminists and many women say, they would put into play special rights and privileges and advantages for women while working hard to dis-advantage men. That is NOT what this country is about. It is not about the disadvantaging of any group. Although we as a Nation HAVE failed from time to time, those failures are being rectified as we speak.
So, no. I predict no female president until feminists and many women can get their misandry and socialist tendencies under control. End of story.

I have no direct experience with the TV show "Commander in Chief," (gave up tee-vee three years ago) so I'll accept that it was at least as good as Geena Davis made it.
Maybe she was just sanitizing and upscale-ing her role from "Thelma and Louise?"
And there's no way Hitlary or Condiment will becomes a U.S. President.
No man wants to elect a Commander-in-Chief who bleeds for seven days every month and still doesn't die.
Cruel, sick, impolite, but true.

Actually, it might be a real awakening for men if their fantasy "democracy" presented them with a Presidential election between Hitlary and Condiment.
It might even cause men to pause and consider where they actually live.
Naw...
Gotta go fishin' this week-end ....
Radioactive carp are just callin' for my attention!

T-Cloud ---
"Actually I ate some mercury laden Crawdads, a few days ago. :-) "
That's an ancient Native American metaphor of some obscure reference to some wisdom, right?
Because if it's not.
You just ate some bad crawdads, my brother! ;-)

Well she has redeemed herself to some degree in my eyes. :) I saw this in my local paper and thought, wow, how did THIS get past the editors? I also found it several other places, including
