| | + | :* A blind obsession to be famous, act and imitate the ways of their famous idols, to absorb their ideals as their own. |

However, Andy claims to have graduated from Princeton in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Strangely, he has never provided proof of this degree, and his chances of having received one are less than 100 to 1, as less than 1% of the population of the country has a degree in electrical engineering. [[Conservapedia:Mystery:Who earned Andrew Schlafly his degrees?|Remarkably]], he could think well enough to earn degrees from respected universities without compromising their reputations. He worked as a device physicist for Intel until 1983 and then moved on to Johns Hopkins University, MD, where he joined the Microelectronics Group of its Applied Physics Laboratory.

He also claims to have taught a course in administrative law as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall Law School. Given the insight and intellectual rigor of his lectures on Conservapedia, his failure to advance further can only be attributed to his growing sense of disgust at the moral vacuum at the heart of liberal academia.
| + | :* They have trouble understanding some of the slightly abstract concepts in conservatism, such as "more guns, less crime," and "less taxes, more revenue." |
| | + | :* They are more comfortable discussing simple issues like race and poverty than complex issues like globalism. |
| | + | :* Intellectual myopia - failure to heed the long-term consequences of ideological positions that seem beneficial in the short term. |
| | + | :* Stereotyping: They knew a conservative whom they disliked for some reason, and tar all others with the same brush. |
| | + | :* Ignorance: politics isn't a priority for some people. Without any wish to learn to think for themselves, some liberals don't bother to think through what's right, and just go with what's "cool." |

It is not known what caused him to renounce the bountiful fruits of the Enlightenment,<ref>Mid-life crisis?</ref> but he describes the process as having taken "several years" and as being "based [on] a thorough open-minded application of logic and science".

Dubbed "Rogandy," their surreal [[creationism|creationist]] stylings provoked mirth and disbelief in almost equal measure.

| |
| − | Cries of "[[Deceit]]" are also his main weapon. If you're in the pits of Conservapedia and Schlafly -- or any of the Schlaflettes -- scream "[[Deceit]]!" at you, that would equal the screaming of "Witch!" or "Illuminati!" in 15th century Spain in front of Torquemada. You don't stand a chance with maniacs.

| − | Basically, Schlafly makes up crazy lies all the time as a short cut to ''winning'' debates. He will usually block whomever is likely to call him on these lies<ref>Actually, Andy tries to keep his innocent [[Christian]] hands clean, and lets his "enforcers" do the blocking</ref> as a matter of convenience, i.e. it allows him the polite fiction that this [[deceit]] is true and valid thus shoring up his fragile ego.

| − | {{cquote|'''In a declaration submitted in this proceeding, Schlafly claims that, at the time AT&T suspended AudioText’s service and demanded a security deposit, he was concerned about the risk of “closely held companies” such as AudioText “running up a large bill and then switching carriers,” leaving AT&T “with a substantial uncollectible.” AT&T Ex. 88, Schlafly Decl., at ¶ 14. Schlafly asserts that this “non-payment risk” existed regardless of whether AudioText’s traffic was legitimate, id. at ¶ 18, or whether AudioText itself, or one of its downstream customers, was engaged in “stimulating false traffic over the network through the use of autodialers.” Id. at ¶ 19. This after-the-fact explanation is not corroborated by the contemporaneous record and, in any event, does not support the conclusion that AT&T had reason to believe that its “Customer [AudioText] [was] using LDMTS in violation of Section 2.2.4.B.” of the tariff, that is, ''“with the intent to avoid the payment”'' of “[AT&T’s] tariffed charges” at the time AT&T suspended AudioText’s service. AT&T Ex. 58 § 2.9.6; AT&T Ex. 51 § 2.2.4.B. (emphasis added). The scenarios that Schlafly describes, where a closely held corporate customer of AT&T runs up a large bill through legitimate activity, or through the “false stimulation” of traffic by a downstream customer, do not involve situations in which the AT&T customer uses AT&T’s service “with the intent to avoid the payment” of AT&T’s tariffed charges in violation of section 2.2.4.B. of the tariff.'''|quotewidth=30px|quoteheight=60px|[http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-04-32A1.pdf|footnote #82}}

| − | ===Further accusation of deceit===
| |
| − | {{cquote|I noticed that you say that one of your favorite articles on your website is the one on “Deceit.” That article begins as follows: “Deceit is the deliberate distortion or denial of the truth with an intent to trick or fool another. Christianity and Judaism teach that deceit is wrong. For example, the Old Testament says, ‘Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.’” You really should think more carefully about what that commandment means before you go around bearing false witness against others.|||[[Lenski affair#Second reply, June 23 2008|Professor Lenski]]}}

| − | ==Andy and legal incompetence==
| |
| − | [[Andrew Schlafly]] claims to be a Harvard educated lawyer; however he seems in many respects to have an extremely loose grasp on basic legal concepts. Examples of his legal incompetence include:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | [[Image:More_HRL_stuff.PNG|thumb|left|350px|Harvard Law Review team photograph from 1990, showing Andrew Schlafly (left side, center row), along with Law Review President and United States President [[Barack Obama]] (bottom right). See [[Conservapedia:Barack Obama comparison]]]]
| |
| − | *His claim that people who vandalize his website ([[Conservapedia]]) could be sentenced to up to 10 years in jail under '''18 USC § 1030'''.<ref>[http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=33650&oldid=24041 Conservapedia Mainpage - oldid=24041]</ref> (see [[Conservapedia:FBI Incident]])
| |
| − | *Allowing Conservapedia editors to add every random image they find under ''fair use'', whether or not the images are actually so. (See [[Conservapedia:Conservapiracy]])
| |
| − | *Not realizing that when claiming that [[Richard Dawkins]] acquired his position as professor through wrongful means, he is in fact accusing either Dawkins, Oxford University, or ''both'', of criminal behavior.
| |
| − | *Andy and Conservapedia have a notoriously difficult time understanding slander, libel, and other forms of defamation, and how they work in the actual law.{{more}}
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Much of his poor grasp of legal concepts and theory is probably related to the fact that he is not and appears to never have been a practising lawyer. An extensive search of legal indexes yield roughly 29 cases that Schlafly has been involved in. Every single one of those was as an ''amicus curiae'' filer for the [[quack]] mouthpiece [[Association of American Physicians and Surgeons]]. Essentially Schlafly's whole legal career appears to be signing his name to court filings that the AAPS makes in cases it has no actual involvement or substantial interest in.

| − | ==Difficulty with grammar & spelling==
| |
| − | [[Image:Andy signature.JPG|thumb|Signature.]]
| |
| − | Mr. Schlafly has tremendous difficulties with the English language, and struggles to write correctly formed sentences using correctly spelled words. A humble clerk with writing problems like his would risk getting the sack for incompetence. In an unfortunate choice of battlefronts, he has made grammar and spelling an essential foundation of his debate against [[liberal]]s. Some examples of his own postings reveal the thin ice his arguments are based upon:
