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


Phyllis Schlafly: Obama Weakening America With 'Foreign Ideas and Diseases and People'
SUBMITTED BY Miranda Blue

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.”

“He wants us to be one of the boys,” she said. “He wants us to be just like everybody else. That’s why he’s letting all these people with Ebola in. There’s no reason why we should take on the African diseases. He should stop them when they get off the plane and not let them in. We don’t want some of these foreign ideas and diseases and people who don’t believe in self-government.”

“You know, these people he’s letting in and credentialing as new immigrants are not familiar with the whole concept of limited government,” she continued. “They look to the government as their savior and advisor and some organization to tell them what to do. We don’t want that!”

Add together ERA battle, Watergate, Nam, Roe, & end of the decade called (a bit incorrectly) 'the 60s' and many of those establishment trolls blend together a bit sometimes.

However, I can't wait for both her and Pat Robertson to take their dirt nap.

And hey, weren't the illegal immigrants from Europe the first people to introduce "Foreign ideas and diseases" to North America?

First step to solving a problem is admitting that you have one in the first place isn't it?
