I am woman, hear me roar. Those famous words from Helen Reddy’s 1971 song came back to me this week, as once again I was reminded by liberal media pundits, and my own president, how naïve they really think women are. I am roaring, ironically not in the 1970’s women’s lib, demand-to-be heard style that Helen Reddy intended, but in a 21st century frustration that I’m still being condescended to as a mere “woman voter.”

George McGovern died Sunday at the age of 90. To most Americans, he
will be remembered for being on the losing end of one of the biggest

I am not a politician. I am not running for anything. I played 18
years in the National Football League. My first salary was $12,500, and
an off-season job that I had to find on my own paid me $600 a month. I
am also a lifetime entrepreneur. It was never easy.
