From the wacko right: Phyllis Schlafly (she's still alive!): Immigrants Are Destroying The American Family

[pampango]

“Who Killed The American Family?” the surprising answer to which is “not just the gays.” In an interview with the Daily Caller this weekend, Schlafly pointed her finger at one culprit she sees in the death of the family: immigrants.

Immigrants from Latin America, Schlafly told the conservative outlet, “try to tell you they’re very pro-family, but they have a tremendously high illegitimacy rate,” which, she said, causes them to run to “Big Brother” government.

According to Schlafly, one of the most overlooked factors behind the death of the American family is mass immigration.

“When a woman has children without a husband to provide for her, she runs to ‘Big Brother’ government to support her,” she insisted. “There are people who think that they will profit by giving us big government to run our lives. That’s not the American way. That’s not what we wanted. When we started out, we were a country of intact families and we expanded to build the greatest middle-class in the world — prosperous and happy. That seems to be gone now.”

Looks like our fundamentalist far right wants immigrants to share the blame for the decline of "intact families". Does this mean that they blame gays less for this?

1. I somehow doubt that she is Native American and even they came from somewhere else.

Except it was a few thousand years earlier.

3. Does she have proof of

The allegedly higher illegitimacy rate? I bet she is full of shit.

4. That harridan has been around since at least 1970

when she got her start in the anti-abortion movement.
She looked ancient back then.
apparently her perpetual vitriol is what keeps her going.

5. Everybody is supposed to be destroying the American family

Except for the people who really are destroying the American family though their greed and hate: The 1% and all the politicians and religious organizations they manipulate to do their bidding.

6. Evil, evil person.

And her spawn is also evil.

7. Are Republicans keeping this old bat on life support somewhere?

She should have croaked twenty years ago, giving proof to the axiom only the good die young.

8. Just how dead is the "American Family" now?

First the feminists killed it, then the gays, and now immigrants. It seems "killing the American family" means something to Phyllis Schlafly, but it is unclear what, and certainly bares no resemblance to the actual meanings of the words.

9. IMO, Immigrants are the most intact families we have. nt
