Not because of conservatism but because it made no sense on how it could be managed. It also seemed the people pushing it were more aligned with leftwing extremists. There was no conservative champion that defeated it.
OK, it's been a long time, so I won't mock you. But the ERA was on it's way to easy passage until heroic conservative Phyllis Schlafly led the fight against it. You should remember that. Every conservative should. And young ones should be taught about her efforts.
The Bushbots would love to air brush her out of history. But she made a huge difference. She also led the fight for two generations to keep the platform pro-life.
You may be giving Phylis a little too much credit but I will take your word for it.
But that was Phylis back then.
Phylis ***now*** is a scaremonger who spreads fear and doubt without facts to derail a dear conservative cause of mine. I view her as having been assimilated into the Beltway cultural sewage so much she has lost her sense to know that there are pleasant smelling places outside of DC. She’s projecting the rottenness of the DC culture onto the rest of the country and that’s just wrong.
