Is She Still Alive?!
Fuckin Phyllis Schlafly, man! I thought she was dead for sure!
This idiotic conservative atmosphere must have rejuvenated her creepy old bones. We're living a Southpark Episode y'all.
I have to credit the old bitch (in some part) with making me see the wisdom of feminism at an early age. I was 11 or 12 when I first saw her on a talk show, squealing loudly in an attempt drive logic from the brains of her audience. It was something like (shrieking, standing at the edge of the stage, lording over the audience member) "Do you want your daughter to be drafted, to go to war, to be in a foxhole being shot at?!!!??" The lady in the audience calmly answered "No. I don't want my son there either. It seems we should fight the draft and not equal rights for women." She never stopped shrieking nonsensically for the whole show and she scared me to death.
She's Baaack
I stumbled on this while checking up on our Ok-Texas Morman Rep. Istook.
She loves him I'm sure. I'll just tackle this one little thing that Phyllis said.
"The Justice Department implied that public buses and subways can ban ads that encourage illegal drugs only if they simultaneously ban ads discouraging illegal drugs. That argument defies common sense."
Liar, liar, liar!
The ads encourage legalizing marijuana which is quite different from encouraging people to shoot up and go to jail.
Actually your statement implies that we have ads that say "Way to go Marijuana, keep trying, you can do it." and these ads can be countered (under those god-awful 1st Amendment Rights) only by signs that say "Don't even bothering trying Mary Jane, you can't get me high."
Common Sense should slap you in the face to see if you recognize it.
