Phyllis Schlafly
A Choice Not an Echo
Alton, Ill.: Pere Marquette Press, 1964
Many of the greatest pioneers of Right-wing political thought in the United States are women. Right-leaning men are often too busy with their jobs and putting out the fires to be prophets. Female activists, for their part, have a remarkable ability to challenge and change the direction of institutions. One such woman was Phyllis Schlafly (1924-2016).

Good one there. Anyway, from what I’ve heard, Willkie pushed aside a real conservative candidate during a rigged primary. So he was intended by the Deep State to be a weak candidate unlikely to win, rather similar to the “lose with Cruz” strategy the Party chiefs wanted in 2016. Even so, the anointed Willkie was a globalist suck-up.
Other than that, Schlafly was right about Pearl Harbor.
I have a crush on Phyllis Schlafly. Her public appearances were always models of gracious confidence in her cause. She was unflappable. Choice Not An Echo is a marvelous book and, were she alive today, I’m sure she could write a book of equal importance on the current state of the GOP and it’s relationship to White Midwesterners like her (and so many of us).
