Phyllis Schlafly: Latino voters “don’t understand” the Bill of Rights “at all”

[DonViejo]

"You can’t even talk to them about what the Republican principle is,” Schlafy added, referring to Latino voters

BY KATIE MCDONOUGH

Conservative activist Phyllis Schlafly is still telling anyone who will listen that the Republican Party should only pay attention to white voters (something that it is already pretty good at doing, according to recent data).

This is a popular refrain for Schlafy, even though, as Jordan Fabian at ABC News notes, this is precisely the strategy that lost Republicans the popular vote in five of the last six presidential elections, to say nothing of how offensive it is to suggest the GOP disregard entire segments of the voting population based on race and ethnicity.

Schlafly was a guest on a conservative California radio show when she fired off her latest proclamation about the future of the GOP, announcing that courting Latino voters is a waste of the grand ol’ party’s time because they “don’t have any Republican inclinations at all,” and are “running an illegitimacy rate that’s just about the same as the blacks are.”

Schlafly continued: “They come from a country where they have no experience with limited government. And the types of rights we have in the Bill of Rights, they don’t understand that at all, you can’t even talk to them about what the Republican principle is.”

7. Yeah (sa)Phyllis, The minorities think the Bill of Rights mean exactly what they say.

Just like the Founding Fathers.
Even though you might be old enough to remember some of them, your memory is fuzzy, there wasn't a republican douche bag like you among them.

We take solace in the fact you'll get to live long enough to see everything change and then you'll die.
