Conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly has been a national leader of the conservative movement since the publication of her best-selling 1964 book, A Choice Not An Echo. She has been a leader of the pro-family movement since 1972 when she led the fight to defeat the Equal Rights Amendment. Phyllis Schlafly is 91 years-old.

On March 11, 2016 conservative icon Phyllis Schlafly endorsed Donald Trump for President at his St. Louis rally. But not everyone in her organization, Eagle Forum – or her family – agreed with Phyllis Schlafly’s decision.

Two weeks ago Phyllis Schlafly released several board members for disloyalty to the organization. The group was planning to hold rogue board meeting to take over the Eagle Forum.

Last week the rogue Cruz supporters attempted a coup at Eagle Forum. They held a non-sanctioned meeting and reportedly blocked Phyllis Schlafly from their conference call.

Today Phyllis released a video to the Eagle Forum. She’s still in charge.

“There seems to be a lot of confusion on what is going on in the ranks. I understand it was said that I was there but I only piped into the meeting to say I objected to the validity to what it’s doing. And I don’t. I’m still in charge.”

The Cruz supporters argued that Phyllis is senile and not in charge of Eagle Forum.

Regardless of whom you vote for, Phyllis Schlafly has truly earned every true American’s admiration. She has done more for this country than any hot air RINO in DC.

Ignorance is not a virtue.

I guess we all know her because we hear her daily on our Christian Radio Stations. Absolutely great messages keeping us up to date on current events. GREAT LADY

On occasion a quick web search will save loads of embarassment.

Some people are so inept that they don't know (or care) what embarrassment is.

e.g. Screaming Hillary...

"If she is the powerful icon that she claims to be why would I have to do a search to find out who she is?"

You are absolutely right.
People who know everything don't need to worry about it.

Carry on.

[publius911]

If she is the powerful icon that she claims...

Powerful icons don't define themselves.
See? It's not working for you.

You responded to the wrong person. The quote you reference was from another poster and I commented on it just as you did.

[publius911]

Some people are really lazy. I noticed that on the sports forums I belong to.

I am willingly ignorant about sports. Just not interested.

But I still know better than ever to ask "who's Kobe Bryant?

Sorry.
I now plan to go to confession soon...

She has been around so long she was Abe Lincolns running mate. Where could I go to read some of her stuff? Chiseled into a cave wall somewhere perhaps?

You'll find her along with other great Constitutionalists.

Like the Founding Fathers.

Heard of them?

If it weren't for all these kind of people from 'so long ago' you wouldn't be posting here you idiot.

I have not been on them in a few years. I don't think people are educated about computer usage. I am 72 and I learned all that stuff decades ago. I was really interested in genealogy. The best way to learn that is just typing in a person's name. There is so much info out there just waiting to be found. I was doing some research for a friend and discovered someone had posted information about them all the way back to the 1400’s. It just takes time and effort. God bless.

It’s disgusting that the so-called banner bearers for pure “principled” Conservatism tried to oust one of the most notable Conservative icons around. And they tried to do it in secret but Phyllis wouldn’t let them get by with it.

In this period, America seems overwhelmed with evil. It murdered shame and integrity and is dancing naked in the streets.

[Flick Lives]

Cruz would have made a great carpetbagger after the Civil war...

+1 historical reference analogy

You’re young, aren’t you?

>Most of the Cruz people didn’t get that memo.

>They only got the memo telling them to help steal her money and organization.

>THAT they know how to do.

Dum Dum Cruz supporters sure act a lot like SJWs. No road to low, no deed to dirty, and no honor.

[RedWulf]

>Besides, when the first paragraph is all about convincing
the reader as to how conservative Phyllis Schlafly is
tells me that it may be questionable. Especially when she
endorses Trump over Cruz in a conservative comparison.

She's just smarter than you when it comes to spotting Phonies like Cruz.

Don’t be too hard on the poor thing.

I’m sure there’s a big paycheck deduct if a deviation from the script is detected by the Trollmeister.

Her name pops up here all the time. I just did a keyword search, which returned eight pages of articles about her or by her. I stopped counting pages when I reached the year 2003.

So shelterguy, you going to keep digging a hole for yourself on this thread and continue to look like a fool, or will you give up on this stubborn idiocy of yours?

[hellinahandcart]

My husband and I heard her speak against amnesty at CPAC back in 2004 or 2005...I remember her saying “We can mow our own lawns, thank you.”
