In an interview with WorldNetDaily published today, Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly weighed in on the unfounded theory gaining traction in the right-wing media that Central American young people are to blame for an outbreak of a childhood respiratory illness in the U.S.
There are all kinds of diseases in the rest of the world, and we dont want them in this country, Schlafly told WND, adding that of all the things [Obama has] done, I think this thing of letting these diseased people into this country to infect our own people is just the most outrageous of all.
She went on to imply that President Obama is intentionally allowing people infected with Ebola into the United States because he wants America to be just like everybody else, and if Africa is suffering from Ebola, we ought to join the group and be suffering from it, too. Thats his attitude.

(3,208 posts)I have been cursing this woman since the 80s, don't know why she is all the sudden making the news again. (Nevermind, maybe I do).
My son and many others are in Africa (and other places) trying to help people. For her to say this is a slap in their face. And I do not take kindly to that.
She speaks for everyone who wants to go back to the bad old days and are doing their part to make it so.
