The 1960s and 70s were the height of The John Birch Society’s power.

The Pacific Northwest is a lumber magnate’s dream: high-quality wood in quantities one can only imagine and cheap, easily exploited labor to harvest it. But a pesky bunch calling themselves Wobblies has taken root in the region, and their presence is creating a disobedient and un-American workforce.

Phyllis Schlafly Part VI: Make America Great Again… Again 44:40

After Reagan, Phyllis had a tough time finding the right leader to champion the conservative cause. The Republican establishment handed them loser after loser, elites who were totally out of touch with the grassroots of the party. After eight years of Obama, during which atheistic socialism threatened the American way of life, Phyllis Schlafly knew it was time to bring real change to the presidency—and she paid a heavy price for it.…

Phyllis Schlafly Part V: Morning in America 22:42

The election of Ronald Reagan may have been a huge victory for conservatives, but that doesn’t mean Phyllis got comfortable. She continued to push for an increasingly conservative agenda on everything from prayer in schools to judicial activism to abortion. All the while, her Eagle Forum grew and her activist network widened its purview from the ERA to all things family values. Reagan broke the mold and set a new standard for conservatism, one that Schlafly would use to judge all future Republican leaders. Support the show on Patreon…

The battle Phyllis Schlafly is most famous for has finally arrived. The Equal Rights Amendment was considered as good as law once it neared ratification. And while it seemed that nothing could drag Phyllis away from bombs and communism, when she found out that women’s libbers wanted to turn us all gay and give our kids to government, she stepped into the ring. Here is Schlafly at her peak performance. Support the show on Patreon!…

Perhaps it was inevitable that Phyllis Schlafly got into Republican Party politics, but her earliest forays were rough going. Nevertheless, she takes the hits like a champ, dusting herself off and setting her sights on new conservative horizons. And with every defeat, she gathers a few more devoted followers. Nobody was able to turn a loss into a win quite like Phyllis, much to the future chagrin of the political establishment.…
