Phyllis Schlafly: Obama Weakening America With 'Foreign Ideas And Diseases And People'

Story here

From the article:

In an interview on the “Florida Roundtable” radio program this week, Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly attacked President Obama for weakening American by bringing in “foreign ideas and diseases and people who don’t believe in self-government.”

Schlafly said that while she believes that the United States “should be the biggest and the best and the strongest,” the president believes “just the opposite,” which is why he is letting into the country “all these people with Ebola” and immigrants who “are not familiar with the whole concept of limited government.”


Why doesn't she just change the name of her organization to Racist Idiots?

Satan has clearly kept that woman alive this long to keep her far, far away.

Of all the things you can say about Schlafly, she is certainly a conservative.

Leave the bridge building to liberals. Schlafly would not know anything about that.

This is insane and racist. And except for pure Native Americans (which Schafly certainly isn't!), all Americans are descended from foreigners who brought in their foreign ideas. Should Schlafly's immigrant ancestors have been kept out?

I believe that all but one of the very few people who have contracted Ebola in America were American health/aid workers - not immigrants.

And Schlafly's leadership of a strongly anti-vaccine organization makes her a big hypocrite when she starts complaining about risk of infections and diseases:
