Let's go through some of Cal's points:

"A liberal is a liberal, regardless of gender, race or ethnicity."  If you think Hillary is a liberal, just go ask a Bernie supporter.

"When it comes to accomplished conservative female leaders...Ronald Reagan's consequential U.S. ambassador to the United Nations."  
But not so long ago Cal said this about the UN:  "The United Nations is a monument to man's misinterpretation of man. It is a humanist shrine to man's impossible goal of living at peace with one another."  Consequential?  How?

"Otherwise, they would have applauded the advancement of African-Americans like Gen. Colin Powell, Justice Clarence Thomas... and conservative women like Sarah Palin"
I wonder how Powell feels about Trump?
Clarence Thomas - we should applaud L. D. Silver?
Sarah Palin - sigh...

"The left gets away with these kinds of smears because they largely control the media and the message."
Yet here he is published in the ADN, and a regular Fox contributor to boot.
