#3 "Hasn't turned out as expected."

For some yes. Many others knew exactly what would happen. Same thing would happen if Sparky gets his way.

#5 I can tell you that I've done that several times as a program manager or construction manager and when things go to hell because they all sit around with their thumbs up their butts whining about not getting opportunities when it is beating them on the head, guess who gets to step in and bail them out.

Fuck em

Lead follow or get the hell out of the way and don't snivel on facedbook about the mean old white guy yanking your shiney new toy away from you when you fall on your ass in your incompetence.

#6 I think the more apt Yiddish term for the author would be schlamazel. The poor, whimpering, groveling sad sack seems to be begging others to shit on him-- and on the rest of us, as well.

"As a white male Christian in America..."

You aren't a Christian: you're a gutless coward.

#7 We did have a trial of that in education some time ago. There were male institutions like Harvard and Yale. There were female institutions, where the men did step out of the way and let the women lead, like Vassar, Smith, Mt. Holyoke, etc.

Which one did people universally think was better?

#8 The writer of this article has my permission to step back and let somebody, anybody, take his place at whatever it is he does. He can go to his safe place, put on his pajamas, suck his thumb and watch TV all day. I'm sure his mother will call him when it's time for dinner.

#9 Let’s do this, guys. Let’s put the country first and our fellow humans ahead of our own egos.
Hear!Hear! A random group of preschoolers could craft a more mature, thoughtful statement. He should retire and let one of them write columns for his newspaper.

#10 The author, Matthew Dowd was the chief strategist for the Bush-Cheney 2004 presidential campaign.

This isn't the extremism of the left, it is an example of the suicidal masochism and non-existent cultural confidence that is Western consensus policy.
