Kathleen Cannon – President

United Way of Broward County

1300 South Andrews Avenue

Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33316:

Ms. Cannon,

In your mini Op-Ed in today’s Sun Sentinel on “Women of Courage” you bemoan, not so subtly, the fact that 2 of the13 honorees would not have been allowed into this country if Trump’s travel ban had not been overturned. [That the above can be used to vindicate George C. Wallace’s belief in John C. Calhoun’s Theory of Nullification, the one that was rendered moot by force of arms at Appomattox, is indeed passing strange. You may remember that Governor Wallace stood in the doorway of the schoolhouse and told the Feds that they could not come in. They did but that’s a tale for a different time.]

It may or not be the case but are those 2 countries among the dozen or so Sharia-run countries that condone and encourage cliteroidectomies on pre-pubescent teenage girls? Did you know that there is a protocol for stoning women “taken in adultery”? The stones can neither be too big lest death come too quickly nor can they be too small lest the death agonies are made too prolonged. Plus, a quick rinse and the stones are reusable lest the stonee be Jewish.

Are these awards made posthumously? If they are I would like to nominate Antigone. Now that was a woman of courage. Even Creon, her killer, thought so. 25 centuries after the fact and maybe it’s time to honor her. Didn’t Chelsea Clinton just get a lifetime achievement award from some chick group with far too much time on its hands for being President of the Lucky Sperm club? And she didn’t even have to die!
