Oh, cruel irony! On September 9, 2022, American Thinker published an article of mine, headlined “Why ‘Educated’ Liberal Women Are the Real Threat to Our Republic.” The article began thusly: “When last Thursday night Joe Biden told America, ‘Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans’ threaten ‘the very foundations of our republic,’ he missed the mark. The real threat comes from the unlikeliest of suspects: educated liberal females, or ‘ELFs’ for short.”
On September 9, 2023 — a year to the day later — I was scheduled to give a free talk at the Darwin Barker Public Library in Fredonia, New York. This pleasant little town, located in New York’s westernmost county, Chautauqua, is nearly as close to Chicago as it is to New York City. My wife and I have been spending the greater part of our summers in Fredonia for 35 years. Two weeks ago, I thanked a female librarian for putting my novel, 2006: The Chautauqua Rising, on display, concluding, “Love the library. If there is anything I can do to help let me know.”
