I see many libtards are celebrating her demise. What utter slime bags they are.

It is a very great pity that the long and illustrious career of Phyllis Schlafly has been capped by an extremely misguided opposition to reforming our system of government to bring it in line with the original intent of the Constitution by employing the means provided by the Constitution itself.

By way of example, in the video in which she argues against an Article V convention, she cites the danger of gay rights being enshrined. In the short time since she made that video gay rights have been enshrined and have become the law of the land. In effect, we have had a constitutional amendment but we were never given the process. She also fears loss of gun rights but she perhaps would have been better informed had she considered that gun rights will likely go the same way as opposition to homosexual marriage, the Constitution will be amended, gun rights will be eliminated, but it will be done by forces over which we have no control.

RIP to a outstanding patriot may our heavenly father comfort her family.

Ten years ago I had the opportunity to hear Phyllis Schlafly give a lecture at a women’s college near Atlanta. There was a protest before the lecture and then all the protesters marched into the lecture hall. The students were incredibly rude and disrespectful. But Schlafly lectured for an hour and answered questions for two hours.

She was 82 and yet had the energy to stand for 3 hours in front of this very hostile audience. Strong in character and strength.

After the lecture she signed my 1964 paperback copy of A Choice Not An Echo.

The edition page shows: First Edition...May 1964 (600,000 copies); Second Edition...June 1964 (1,000,000 copies); Third Edition ...August 1964.

Phyllis Schlafly – President, Eagle Forum

Phyllis Schlafly is the author or editor of 20 books on subjects as varied as family and feminism, nuclear strategy, education, child care, phonics textbooks, and the judiciary. Her latest books are The Flipside of Feminism and No Higher Power: Obama’s War on Religious Freedom. She has written her monthly newsletter called The Phyllis Schlafly Report since 1967. Her syndicated column appears in many newspapers and websites, her radio commentaries (now totaling 7,800) are heard daily on 500 stations, her radio talk show is heard weekly on 90 stations, and everything is available on her website www.eagleforum.org.

Mrs. Schlafly is a lawyer and served as a member of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution, 1985-1991, appointed by President Reagan. She has testified before more than 50 Congressional and State Legislative committees on constitutional, national security, and family issues.

Mrs. Schlafly is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Washington University/St. Louis, received her J.D. from Washington University Law School, and received her Master’s in Political Science from Harvard University. She received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Washington University. She was named one of the 100 most important women of the 20th century by the Ladies’ Home Journal. The mother of six children, she was the 1992 Illinois Mother of the Year.

Phyllis Schlafly helped to invent the conservative movement in 1964 by selling 3 million copies of her first book A Choice Not An Echo. Then she helped to invent the pro-family movement in the 1970s by bringing thousands of new people into the political process to defeat the so-called Equal Rights Amendment. In a 10-year battle, Phyllis taught the grassroots conservatives how to win despite the opposition of three Presidents, nearly all public officials, 99% of the media, and even Hollywood.

Phyllis Schlafly is America’s most articulate and successful opponent of the radical feminist movement. She has appeared on virtually every national television and radio talk show and has lectured or debated on more than 500 college and university campuses. Mrs. Schlafly is the founder and president of Eagle Forum, a national organization of citizens who participate as volunteers in the public policymaking process.

When the publisher of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat presented her with the Woman of Achievement Award in 1963, he said: “Phyllis Schlafly stands for everything that has made America great and for those things which will keep it that way.”

President Ronald Reagan gave Phyllis Schlafly this tribute at a national meeting in 1984:
“Eagle Forum has set a high standard of volunteer participation in the political and legislative process. . . . You’ve been out front on so many of the most important issues of our time. . . . Your work is an example to all those who would struggle for an America that is prosperous and free.”
