Three Cheers for the Women of Conservatism

DEBATEUSA ^ | 5-7-2003 | Lowry

[William McKinley]

She looks pretty upstanding to me. From the link you just gave:

Rachel Alexander is the editor of IntellectualConservative.com, a website catering to intellectual conservatives and libertarians. She is a writer who has won three awards for her columns; one from the Leadership Institute - the Robert Novak award for Best Conservative Columnist - Honorable Mention, one from the Second Amendment Foundation, and Grand Prize from the Intercollegiate Institute for her investigative article on a Professor who was fired for teaching Shakespeare. She is a former writer for the Arizona Daily Wildcat as well as a member of their staff editorial board. She currently writes for numerous e-zines on the web, including the International Oracle Syndicate.

Rachel is an Assistant Attorney General for the State of Arizona, practicing Commercial and Administrative Law. She also does pro bono work for the Alliance Defense Fund, a religious constitutional rights organization in Scottsdale, Arizona. Rachel has appeared on Focus on the Family's radio program discussing constitutional issues.

Rachel runs two discussion lists, scalia@topica.com, for conservatives and libertarians interested in the law, and women@topica.com, a fair and balanced women's discussion list.

Because of Rachel's background in IT - three helpdesk and technical support jobs prior to becoming an attorney - Rachel also writes about computers and technology. However, Rachel's strength lies in her unique style of investigative writing - she has a knack for discovering new angles on issues and uncovering deception by the Left as a result of doing her own background work.

She appears on Focus in the Family, runs a Scalia mailing list, works for and with the Alliance Defense Fund, and gave the following as her links for that GOP Babes website:

She seems conservative to me. So what precisely is your beef with her?

[ChicagahAl]

And let's not even talk about spiders!

[Remole]

Yeah. With drugs.

[Coop]

Most women nowadays go with drugs for childbirth, so I imagine with circumstances switched most men would as well.

[Coop]

Really - well thank you for correcting me.

Hmmm. Someone sounds miffed. Really. Well, you shouldn't generalize your opinion if you don't wish to receive a general opinion in response.

[mabelkitty]

I was almost crushed!!

I thought the source link was DEBKA!!!!!

[areafiftyone]

I wasn't being sarcastic I really meant thank you. I should have put a question mark after really.

[Coop]

Okay. My apologies. Sorry I misunderstood. :-)

[trick question]

"Most of the columns on the site are written by men, and those provided decent commentary."

I checked out that site, and there is quite a bit of decent commentary there, with the glaring exception of that absolute moronic fool Sartre. That pompous idiot brings down the quality of the entire place by several notches.
