At 85, Phyllis Schlafly has still got game.
The anti-feminist founder of the conservative Eagle Forum -- who counts Barry Goldwater's 1964 White House run and the 1982 death of the Equal Rights Amendment as exquisite victories and the "internationalist" presidencies of George Bush 41 and 43 as "not helpful to the Republican party" -- hasn't mellowed one whit.
That she made abundantly clear Thursday afternoon at the Conservative Political Action Committee conference in Washington.
Lord knows she still looks great, the poufy blonde hair perfectly lacquered, the fitted tweed jacket tricked out with her signature golden eagle brooch and tiny anti-abortion baby feet, her neck encircled by three stands of pearls and a chain from which dangled a cross of gold.

You'd better read the heading of this thread again:
“Phyllis Schlafly: No Women, Sarah Palin Included, Ready for White House”
” It just offends you that we don’t think Palin is the one. “
On the contrary. It pleases me greatly. When you have certain cliques against a very good potential candidate, that only serves to prove that said candidate, is indeed a great candidate. Sarah Palin pisses off all the tight people.
Excellent. I’m glad we could satisfy you with this thread.
Y'all pick strange allies. That's taking the idea of the enemy of my enemy is my friend a bit far, yes?
Lie down with dogs and you know what you're going to get.........
Schlafly said that?
I am not going to play identitity politics, Fact is we do have a right to vote and pissant knows that. That won’t be changing. Phyllis did not say a woman should not be president. She just said we don’t seem to have a woman who is ready.
You go ahead and play though. I am going to cook dinner for my hubby.
note the sarcasm tag
Not very. Phyllis is giving motivational lectures to school girls around her neighborhood in Missouri. I sent her a nice note yesterday when this first came out. I'm sure she will respond soon, maybe after nap time.
To be honest the headline does not match what Phyllis said at the end of the article. None of the PDS carriers bothered to read the actual article though.
You don’t have to play identity politics, Pissant already has, good luck defending this one: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2557810/posts?page=13#13
pissant doesn’t worry me. I will live. He has his own opinions.
Please ping him if you talk about him.
If you want to ally yourself with someone that loony, have at it. Having valid criticisms doesn’t mean you tie yourself with someone just because you don’t like the object of their lunatic criticism.
So. Obama wasn’t either.
The point of their little exercise is to take a flippant comment by me and make the thread about me. ROFL. Hardly a word from the cultists about Schlafly.
Well, there are many loonies on both sides. You even have one that wants Phyllis to die and wants people to be tortured because they disagree. I would much rather not align myself with violent loons who refuse to have an open mind.
Practice what you preach.
Now, do you want to watch my pork roast?
Your article is at least 5 months old and the reporting is done with little to no depth. Which is normally what you don't find with Schlafly, she's always been fairly deep in her expositions.
Something is rotten here in the article, and I think it parallels your attitude towards all women, it wasn't a flippant remark, it's been what you've been saying for days. You've been defending your quote in all sorts of ways, and now you try to pretend it was a flippant remark....
Meh.
It was flippant. Flippant doesn’t mean void of all truth, it just means flippant.
I agree with you about the feminization of Western Society and culture. HOWEVER that has nothing to do with what we are talking about.
Hey.....when Marxist ObaMa waltzes into the white house ONE MORE TIME....your gonna wish you had a cult....
WE ARE LOOKING AT THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA HERE and you folks are out to lunch.
How many times must we fail before we wake up????
Shafflunk is out and out WRONG....and if you don’t see that....well like I said, you (by DEFAULT) want obama again because you can’t find a perfect conservative.....
The “only Palin can beat Obama” is a myth. A real conservative will wipe the matt with the boy marxist. John McCain’s handmaiden ain’t the answer. Sorry
The GOP died years ago didn’t you get the memo?
It began choking to death in 1989. But we’re trying to infuse it with life.
