Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly passed away on Monday. She was 92.
Schlafly, the founder of Eagle Forum, rose to prominence in the 1960s when she wrote the book A Choice, Not an Echo, which sold more than three million copies. She was a leading voice of opposition against the Equal Rights Amendment, fighting to preserve traditional gender roles.
She wrote a total of 23 books, the most recent being an expanded edition of A Choice, Not an Echo. In March, Schlafly endorsed Donald Trump for president.
Schafly was predeceased by her husband, John, and is survived by her six children.

Lord Jesus Christ, rest Thy servant with the saints and bless America.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.

Phyllis Schlafly, ale-ha ha-sholom.
Not heeding her advice instead of Gloria Steinem’s is one of my biggest regrets.
To her family and those who mourn her, may the Almighty comfort you among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

...were all Jews when we die. Is that in the Catechism?

The big question: who will take her place?
Michelle Malkin is a big possibility.

If nothing else, history will thank her for defeating the ERA. It took the Left another 30 years to implement fag marriage and LGBT rights, which in turn illustrates we no longer have a written constitution.

Talk about a warrior who maintained grace under fire? Frankly, I can’t think of a single person who could top her in this respect. RIP......you EARNED it !

I met Phyllis once at a CRA meeting. She was sharp as a tack— a great, lightning fast intellect.
She will be fondly remembered by many and forever missed.
