She's a strong, independent, savvy, reform minded woman that has achieved political success…all without buying into the NOW and feminist claptrap.

QotD: Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. What's your strongest memory or impression of King's contributions? The disillusionment I felt when I learned that King the man was not King the news footage.
