re: #144 iceweasel

I pretty much would associate it with the televangelists, probably, because of my age. I couldn’t even vote then but my first interests in politics would all be around then, and mine were associated with Operation Rescue and reproductive rights.

I think the culture war narrative would naturally have its seeds in the 70’s— ERA was still an issue in the 1980 election, somewhat (at least in so far as the ‘fringe’ candidate Anderson was the only one supporting it still). Plus the backlash against the social progress of the 70’s, naturally.

Oh, for sure. The main mouth piece against the ERA being Phyllis Schlafly who is still making a dent within wingnut circles. Now her son with pathetic Conservapedia. She was annoying then as she is now. The same holds true with Operation Rescue. These are the same people I knew from my younger years.

I assume you mean John Anderson?
