Nope. She married Vance. By today's standards, I would have been classified a "leftist" for my cliche feminist views coming out of college. We age, we have life experiences, we change.

Also can we stop acting like a person’s spouse controls their opinions?? I am sure most of us don’t always agree with our spouses on all subjects. And saying because someone graduated from XYZ college or whatever defines them—I am and always have been a conservative but I went to an extremely leftist small liberal arts college. That’s what leftists do, say X person is in this profession, this race, this sexual orientation, drives this kind of car, graduated from this college, so must vote like this. No. People are individuals and the groups they are part of don’t define them.

My spouse died 21 months ago but for the 40 years we were together we had an agreement that we would not say everything we think. It worked!

Interesting agreement. Certainly an exercise in control of the tongue.

I hope you are healing in your grief.

Exactly. But the left does believe it defines them. A huge difference between right and left

I have loved this scripture for a long time! Sheep of the flock = right.

Matthew 25:32-33

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

I went to a leftist college too and didn’t come out brainwashed. It was all I could do not to puke my way through the required American Government class though.

Agree, Running! Can we also stop acting like people can’t evolve & change opinions on things like…o, say Trump or stupid WuFlu policies?

Expand full comment
Jay Skywatcher's avatar

Yes, because J D Vance was earlier a non Trump person.

Cindi's avatar

Yes that was exactly my point & he freely admits he was anti-Trump. Someone else found a quote where he said unvax’d nurses should be fired. There was a lot of that attitude even in red states & the Republican Party at the time. I am confident he has evolved on all things WuFlu also., as have many others

Controls, no. Influences, sure.

Vance's wife is a democrat and a pretty far left one. She would be happy to verify that. The San Fran law firm she worked at was radical lefty progressive. Roberts is indeed a compromised turd.

I was a Phyllis Schlafly supporter back in the mid 70s. That woman is a true unsung heroine, who single handedly stopped the feminist evil agenda in its tracks at that time. ERA. Had it been allowed to progress, we would have already been facing then what it has taken fifty years of evil regrouping to bring about; homosexuality on steroids, gender confusion and child mutilation, and the like.

At that time, God looked for a man to stand in the gap, but didn’t find one. They were all giddy at the thought of ‘free love’ and unlimited abortion to cover the consequences.

Then He found Phyllis Schlafly, who must have one of the biggest mansions in heaven. I can’t wait to meet this incredible woman and hear her personal story.

It is an abomination what weaklings have done to her organization; The Eagle Forum.

I so agree with you, Willing. Phyllis deserves FAR more credit than she is given.

Willing Spirit's avatar

She isn’t given any that I know about. I think those Republican legislators, who were on the verge of signing away our freedoms were too embarrassed to speak her name.

It is a true shame that she goes unrecognized.

Susan Stephens's avatar

There is a spinoff group/organization that purports to be “her group.” Too long here but suffice to say the head of that group has tried to undermine Eagle Forum National since Mrs. Schlafly died in 1996.

I’m an active member of Eagle Forum of Alabama which was founded back during the ERA fight. Our president is still active & is considered the Phyllis Schlafly of Alabama. The two were close friends.

I have always asked why women would want to lower themselves to the level of a man? Men are strong in ways we are not, but WE are strong in ways they can never be. I really think I could life a car off my kids or grandkids if I needed to. I am fierce so don't eff with me and my tribe. https://sadiejay.substack.com/p/imprint

Lol…yes, the DNA was a surprise because my grandma always denied having Indian blood. Found her dad’s actual handwritten application for the Dawes Roll and I have copies of it. She listed my grandpa (her husband) as white on his death certificate. I have a copy. Seriously, the man looks like he would be comfy with a headdress of feathers astride a horse. But..there was stigma attached to being Native back in those days.

I voted for that maggot too... both Bush and McCain were/are the scum of the earth... I thought BO would be better... I was badly mistaken... by a very smooth-talking jogger POS.

I am a hard-right authoritarian/Populist... and support ANY means necessary to clean up this once-great country... that includes bringing back renditions (for political enemies/traitors/bureaucrats/corrupt judges) and deporting ALL illegals, including the DACA lice.

"Usha Vance’s career has put her in an awkward contrast with her husband’s political persona.

From 2015 until the day that Vance became the Republican vice-presidential nominee, Usha Vance worked as an associate and then as a corporate litigator at Munger, Tolles, and Olson, a law firm with offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington that describes its corporate culture as “radically progressive.”

A 2019 article in The American Lawyer placed its diverse hiring practices in the “cool, woke category.” (The San Francisco news site SFGate reported earlier on Usha Vance’s resignation from the firm.) As Politico reported last year, JD Vance delayed the confirmation of State Department roles by sending nominees a questionnaire to determine whether they were too “woke.”"
