I read a biography of Phyllis Schafly when I was a teen. I was totally impressed. She’s an amazing woman.

La Shawn (I’m doing the first name, now ,

I was just checking my blog’s Technorati page, and I saw that this entry is the top listing there. It was entitled “Phyllis Schlafly” – and on seeing that, I got nervous.

It was about one week ago that I found out that the conservative writer Dr. Sam Francis had passed away. He was only born in 1947, and this was surprising news. It seems that several people have been just suddenly passing away in recent days… So when I saw an entry with this title, I was afraid that…

She is about 80 years old, and she has done so much great work. I am glad that she is continuing it into the present.

I greatly admire Mrs. Schalfly (I shared that excellent, and fun-to-read Coulter column with another conservative blogger awhile back)… I was excited to have the opportunity to meet and talk to this great conservative leader two years ago (wow – it’s been that long…) at an anti-ERA rally here in Springfield. Here is some bloggage that I did about that.

I wish that I had more time and energy at this time to blog… I feel like I’ve gotten so far behind! (But then, that’s the way it’s seemed for awhile now…) Keep up the great work at this site, and God Bless!

If the ERA passes, there will be unisex bathrooms.

It didn’t and there are.

I remember her saying that back in the 70s and thought what?????

Summers is a liberal who plays ball in the liberal playground. Now he’s getting a dose of what his precious Harvard and liberal buddies are all about. Boo Hoo for Larry. I hope they destroy him. But even then, I doubt he’ll get the lesson.

I started to write a prank email to Summers ‘from’ the Committee on Diversity and Tolerance starting out with “Not enough, you sniveling dog…”. I decided not to because I actually feel sorry for the guy. No doubt he is a good person in an impossible predicament, but he would do Harvard and himself a service if he stood up for academic inquiry and intellectual diversity. But this is not a tragedy for Harvard. Just a continuation of the same and perhaps some healthy embarrassment.
I could end up despising him eventually though. I felt sorry for Jimmy Carter years ago and that has changed to contempt.

I wasn’t criticizing the use of nannies. My comment comes from my (and my family’s, and my hometown’s) liberal background: I remember a family member telling me that Schafley had a nanny. The point was this: she was critical of women who worked, etc., but she was a wealthy woman with a nanny. So those who didn’t like her say that it was easy for her to criticize working women, because of the money she had and the help she hired to make her life easier.

There’s also a lot about her in Ann’s book Slander.

Hey, I use a nanny for our 4 kids. What’s wrong with that if it gives my wife breathing space as a housewife? Way I look at it, I work 40-50 hrs/week, why shouldn’t she get to work 40hrs/week and let the nanny pick up the rest? Moreso, if it gives time for the stay-at-home to keep current or learn new things.

Phyllis was 40 when she made her mark. It gives me hope!

It’s axiomatic feminist dogma. You can raise a great family and have a great career with or without a “nanny” or as I call them, day care providers who come to your house.

I’ve always liked her; but we haven’t seen, or heard, much from her lately.

Wow, she went to law school? I never knew that. I always thought she was just an everyday housewife who protested the system.

Knowing, now, that she has all this education behind her only increases my respect.

I hope she keeps writing.
