Okaaaaay. Phyllis Schlafly is certainly helping with Republican Outreach:

[Are_grits_groceries]

Here’s an example of why: right-wing Republican hero Phyllis Schlafly said last week that Latinos have too many children out of wedlock, and don’t understand the Bill of Rights or the concept of small government. She apparently said it in expressing her opinion that the Republican Party shouldn’t reach out to Latino voters at all.

Schlafly, the founder of Eagle Forum, is an undisputed leader in the National Republican Party. According to her bio, she’s played a major role in every Republican National Convention since 1952, and was elected as a delegate to eight of them, most recently in 2012. She ran for Congress as a Republican twice.

How important is she to Republicans? Glad you asked. The Republican-led Texas State Board of Education recently required that school children learn about her in future history textbooks. Imagine the thrill of Texas school children learning all about how stupid Schlafly thinks Latinos are.
<snip>
So, just to review, following the 2012 election, the Republicans paid big-time lip service to doing a better job of reaching out to minorities. One of the most important conservative leaders in the Republican Party – one so important that Republicans in Texas insisted she be featured in future history books – is bigoted against Latinos, and doesn’t mind explaining why.

That, my friends, is how Republican minority outreach efforts are going. Any questions?

The Republicans have alligator arms.

2. I, for one, cherish Schalfly's contribution

to the Democratic Party.

Every time she opens her mouth, a few hundred (if not a thousand) young women say, "WTF?" - and register as Democrats.

Her impact on the influx of thinking women across the nation to our party cannot be over-stated.

3. Times have changed. America has.

She is no longer an asset, but an embarrassment. Not that Repubs ever are, embarrassed, but you get the point.

[Summer Hathaway]

4. I get the point

I'm not quite sure you did.

5. Thanks for nothing, then...

I guess.

6. the idea that schlafly would be lauded as some important person to innocent schoolchildren

is disgusting. she has always been a disgusting person.

plus she's wrong about latino birth rates. they are just slightly higher than white rates and are falling faster.

7. More Schlafly "insight" from last November.

The globalists have been plotting to use the volatility of this lame-duck session to achieve some of their internationalist goals that they couldn't get passed during the last four years. In particular, they would like to lock us into treaties that slice out various parts of our national sovereignty, a concept that they have been trying to promote as obsolete. ... The globalists could make a surprise treaty push for ratification of the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (UNATT). This treaty is coming under the radar since gun control advocates know it could never pass the U.S. Senate after debate in broad daylight.

Another plan to ratify an anti-sovereignty treaty and subject us to unwelcome global regulations is the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This mischievous document was signed for the U.S. by U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice (now famous for giving big TV time to Obama's lies about the Benghazi disaster).

The globalists desperately want us to ratify the Law of the Sea Treaty (LOST), which was a bad idea when Ronald Reagan rejected it in 1981, and which has soured rather than ripened in its years of languishing in the Senate. This treaty cedes sovereign control over practically all the riches at the bottom of the world's oceans to an International Seabed Authority.

After ratification, treaties become part of the "supreme law" of the United States on a par with federal statutes, which gives supremacist judges the power to invent their own interpretations. The whole concept of putting the United States in the noose of global organizations, in which the U.S. has only the same one vote as Cuba, is offensive to Americans, and all these UN treaties should be scrapped forthwith.

8. Ugh.....she's still alive??

Seriously, I thought she was dead. Ugh.....

9. "Only the good die young" is a phrase that certainly applies to her n/t

[lunatica]

10. I wonder if she still greets her husband at the door wearing nothing but an apron

after he's had a long day at the office.

11. The Repubs need to follow her advice

For the good of the nation, folks! The GOP needs to focus only on elderly, suburban white voters, particularly men. That's all they need! Hopefully they will nominate another clueless, entitled white guy for President in 2016, it worked so well in 2012 that they have to try again.
