Opinion
Kathleen Parker: The shaming of America
Trump-the-package is damaged goods by his own odious nature and inhumane policies. But it is also entirely true that many, if not most, Trump supporters don’t think he’s a racist, and they’re not either. Thus, shaming is a sham.

Opinion
Kathleen Parker: Donald Trump’s rhetorical race war
Before you dash to your keyboard, I’m not comparing Trump’s recent racist remarks to a mass murderer’s bloody rampage. But the president’s cannon is loose upon the land, and his attempts to create friction between the races is not harmless.

Kathleen Parker: Watch out for falling rocks
