Under the previous administration? Doubtful.

I am not denying that there are women in this country who are not treated fairly (and I am just as upset by that as the next person), but I cannot help but fume at the hypocrisy, vulgarity, and self-promotion that was on display at this women's march.

Women have it SO GOOD in this country. Hey Madonna, go to Saudi Arabia or any number of Islamic and even non-Islamic countries around the world and then tell me that you have it bad in America.

If somebody I am blessed to have a daughter, I will make damn sure she understands her dignity as a human being and the fact that she lives in the greatest country on Earth. I will also do my best to shield her from these people who have shown absolutely no class or decency. I am certainly not saying that all those present at the March were like this, but it did seem to be quite prevalent.

I am proudly pro-life, pro-child, AND pro-woman.

Chelsea Handler came out this morning pretty much saying she despises the FLOTUS because she doesn't speak English well. (The news article slammed her for this saying the First Lady speaks five languages fluently...how many do you speak?)

I guess it's all about immigrants, free speech and women's rights until it isn't.

I hope she joins Judd, Madona, and other Hollywood types in the unemployable line on Hollywood Blvd and Vine St. Their bodies are still okay, it's just their minds have spoiled.

Infiltrate the March

Hey, if I was asked to infiltrate the Women's March, I would have gladly accepted the challenge. I would just need some clothing from the second hand store in size 2X or 3X, some poly-fill, and a sign that read "You Can't Touch This" and in tiny letters at the bottom "or maybe you would not want too". Then I would fit right in no questions asked.


I have to say being a woman, I think a lot of these demonstrators were repugnant, misinformed, nasty, some vile, disrespectful and totally wrong. I am not saying that I disagree with women's rights, and equality ...yada, yada, yada....but do it with respect and dignity towards others. And why won't they fight for equality and woman's rights in the Middle East, or other countries that deny the rights to all females. It is so hypocritical.....I have never been a fan of entertainers who think they know more than anyone else, think they have the intellect of Einstein, and think that "normal" Americans really care.....OK, I am off my soapbox....enjoy your day....

The whole premise that this was a "women's" march is hilarious, IMHO. If it was legitimate, why not have it the day after Donald Trump was annouced the victor over the Hilldabeast?

Nope, this was a joke IMO, and one that was badly played out for the adoring media to swoop in on and try to paint American Women as upset, angry, and unhappy. HA!

If memory serves, at all the Trump rallies throughout the campaign, women of all shapes, sizes, colors, and economic backgrounds showed up to cheer on their candidate, which is our duty and responsibility as American citizens, IMHO.

I proudly voted for Donald Trump, and am very excited about the energy our new CIC is breathing in to Washington. He is my President, and the big O can rot in hell.

Great Post, I totally agree with you. We know that the Media always tries to pit both sides against each other. We all just need to stand United with each other for the next 4 years Rita

Holly, it takes time, money (someone else's) and commitment to be angry after defeat. Remember the media had already elected Hillary before the election. Once the "Rumsfeld Effect" (Shock and Awe) wore off and the tissue boxes replaced they needed time to order all those Chinese made "Pussy Hats" and get them delivered via Amazon.

Absolute rage takes time, a symbol of that cause takes more time.

Why not organize your worldwide protest to coincide with the inauguration of the most hated man (in some minority circles) on the same day? Oh, yeah, the media can't effectively do split-screen reporting without lowering their ratings. So let's postpone our movement until the day after...after all batteries need time to recharge.
