The women credited – or blamed – by many in America for halting the Equal Rights Amendment in its tracks is now warning that this is another “do-or-die” moment for the nation, and the fact that two top 2016 presidential candidates appear to be in virtual lockstep doesn’t make it look good.
Commentator and author Phyllis Schlafly is described by US History as a “career woman” who came out of nowhere to organize – and finally defeat – the ERA proposed during the 1970s and 1980s.
“She heckled feminists by opening her speaking engagements with quips like, ‘I’d like to thank my husband for letting me be here tonight,’” the report explains. And she warned of unwanted side effects like women being drafted, a loss of protective laws against sexual assault, and alimony, as well as suggesting “that single-sex restrooms would be banished by future courts.”
This, she said on Wednesday, is another such moment.
“It is do-or-die for America,” Schlafly said of the developing battle over mass amnesty for millions of illegal aliens in the country.
Kids out of control, parents out of control, and people want to know “Who Killed the American Family?” Answers are here, in Phyllis Schlafly’s new analysis of the nation.
“Once you have one amnesty, people are lining up for the next one. It doesn’t stop or end anything. I think there are people who simply want to break up this country,” she said.
She said the critical time is coming when America will have to decide on open borders, amnesty, cheap labor and more, including its own future.
About the 2016 election, she pointed to the possibility it will be a Hillary Clinton-Jeb Bush fight for the Oval Office.

Jeb Bush is a joke.
The Uni-Party insists on heads-I-win, tails-you-lose elections.
Out of nowhere? Phyllis Schlafly was one of the most successful women of her generation long before she began working against the ERA.
The source of ALL of this is a corrupted money supply.
printed money and false interest rates, passed through the crony-capitalist financial system and used to monetize government debt means social engineers and central planners always have money to implement their political and social engineering schemes.
Fix that, and you will fix 1000 social problems at the same time.

You are right on the mark. As a former Goldwater supporter, who began working for the 1964 campaign, immediately after the Kennedy election in 1960, I can testify to Phyllis Schlafly’s status as the most prominent Conservative woman in America in that time frame.
An interesting aside is that no group of individual volunteers helped to do the numbing pavement-pounding than the Mormon women in my Chicago suburban area (Du Page county). These dedicated, family-oriented and patriotic ladies did yeomens' service and contributed heavily in the eventual defeat of the amendment.
I subsequently moved to Florida. Some years ago, Mrs. Schlafly attended one of our freeper banquet events in DC, but since I attended quite a number of DC freeps over 17 years, danged if I remember which one it was. I was delighted that I was able meet and chat with her during the cocktail hour...it had been many years since our ERA crusade-days back in Illinois. We really yakked it up!
She's without doubt one of the American conservative movement's founding mothers...and she's still active with her Eagle Forum...and, yes, she's still on the ball at age 90.
Bless her red, white and blue heart!

Here's what I don't get. Pretty near all of those entry-level jobs are going to be eliminated in the next 10 years by robotics. Why does the business class want to bring in millions more low-skill workers?
It's all about class warfare and driving the cost of labor across the workforce down. Just because the majority of those bring brought in are low skilled now, doesn't mean they always will be. That's when we'll see even more competition for higher-wage jobs. That increased competition means businesses will be able to lower wages.
So can I. I met Phyllis when I attended one of her Eagle Forum lobbying sessions in DC. She taught us how to lobby as ordinary concerned citizens and I met some conservative senators. I even met Jesse Helms in the hallway and shook his hand.
Met Phyllis Schlafly entering an elevator in 2001.
It was only for a few moments, but I did take a picture of my friend with her.
She was gracious enough to accept my request to do it.
I’ve always found her views to be spot on.
I’ve had a lot of respect for her for the last twenty years at least.
Here she proves her worth once again, seeing clearly what is more than likely ahead.
Dole, Bush, McCain, Romney...
Each time we thought these people couldn’t possible obtain the nomination. Here we go again, splitting the Conservative vote while the GOPe pulls it’s strings in the background, and yes, even on this forum.
Most folks will know this, but for the slow, I’m not intimating that Free Republic acts on behalf of the GOPe. While I won’t speak for Jim, I believe him to be as disgusted with the GOPe and RNC as I am.
I do highly suspect the support for some candidates here by forum participants is GOPe driven.
When someone lies to them, and they still champion that person as a God fearing Conservative, they’ve gone way too far down a road I can’t travel.
She nailed it. What more is there to say?
