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.

That's crazy! Do you mean to tell me that Reagan knew Phyllis Schlafly and that Sarah Palin was McCain's running mate?
Sources, please!
I didn't become a fan of Reagan until he fired the air traffic controllers....he had backbone and not many republicans in congress can say that..What he had to say about anyone would not necessarily make me change my mind.
But he did perform almost a miracle in turning around the Carter economy....He was witty and could laugh at himself and didn't bad mouth in public anyone that I can think of...An admirable President..
As far as judging superficially, we all do that also...You see a raggy, unshaven and dirty man sleeping in the alley are you judging him a bum superficially? (or do you figure he might be the CEO of a corporation).. Or on his appearance...The way a woman dresses caused men to judge her based on her appearance...very superficially judging. Maybe your one that has never done that, if so I applaud you...A difference of opinion is what makes a horse race..
When I look at that bum in the street, my thoughts are invariably “He too, is a child of God” and “there but for the grace of God go I.” And I might add that I’ve heard some real pearls of wisdom from such individuals.
How I interact with those unfortunate souls is between the Almighty and me.
