Nice, I think your write up is actually better than the old debunk that popped up in this thread. I'm sure it will come in handy for some of us. Edit: Oh poo poo, new page. Here's some content. These are both from the same lady's wall. I was floored when she recently posted some pro-Carter memes (generally all about faith) but thought the comments on this one were pretty great.

I'm surprised I didn't know about Phyllis Schlafley until today, but I just read about her and I feel like I need to take a shower. Oh, and her son is the creator of Conservapedia, hahahaha.

I remember the 'minimum wage for everyone except soldiers' campaign. It was never very popular. Because it didn't exist outside of conservative memes.

Have you guys ever thought that maybe they're just complaining that soldiers are overpaid? Maybe we should cut soldier's pay rates so that they are motivated to do something other than rely on government assistance.

He is the ultimate Dunning-Kruger Renaissance Man.

Pretty much. Also, quote:After the 1972 proposal of the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), Schlafly reorganized her efforts to defeat its ratification, founding the group "Stop ERA"[7] and starting the Eagle Forum Newsletter. In 1975 Stop ERA was renamed the Eagle Forum.[7] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eagle_Forum

It's actually kind of the opposite. He's claiming there's some direct recall provision for Senators implied in the constitution. To argue this he makes the claim that recall was not ever a topic of consideration when the constitution was being drafted and ratified, and that everybody assumed it existed as an implied power. He was 100% wrong on all counts and his argument was, interestingly, the exact opposite of what he usually says about how the constitution should be interpreted.

Better still:Conservapedia posted:At the time of posting, Andrew Schlafly, lead counsel to the recall committee, is planning to file his own writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court. It would seem to me if he wins, the point is also moot, as the electorate has decided to reinvest senatorial power in him despite perceived wrongdoings. I wonder how the 2012 election went? Bob Menendez Wikipedia Article posted:Menendez ran for re-election for a full second term and defeated Republican Joe Kyrillos on November 6, 2012. Hahaha... Unsurprisingly, like many of the Conservapedia articles that fail to pan out how they want, this article has been abandoned for over 5 years now.

My favorite part is when the judges point out that direct election of senators by the people didn't happen until 1913, and if there really was a provision to recall senators at any time, why didn't the state legislatures recall senators of the opposing party to put one of their own guys in? And Andy just spouts some bullshit about "Uh well you see they had bipartisan support and basic respect." So I had a lady at work say something racist to me today, but I'm unsure of exactly how it was racist. I work at a pool as a lifeguard and the pool was fairly empty today, and a woman came in and started swimming (she was the only one in it) and she turned to me and asked "Where are all the African-Americans and Asian-Americans today?" The statement kind of took me by surprise and all I could say is "I don't know." I'm unsure of what she said exactly (indoor pool, so acoustics are a bit wonky at times) but it sounded as if she said something like "Today is the 29th. Ahaaaaaaaaaaaa" in the tone of voice like somebody coming to a realization. I could have just misheard her but I'm not sure what significance July 29th has. I mean, I'm pretty confident what she was implying was racist as hell due to her first comment, but I don't know what it is. At first I thought maybe it was some sort of subtle welfare comment, like it's almost the end of the month and so people's welfare might be running out, but she threw in Asian-Americans which are generally considered "the good minority that work hard" so I don't think it's that. She could also just be going senile or something, but I can't help but wonder if there is some understandable logic behind her statement (assuming I heard it correctly).

When people get huffy about a sniper getting called a coward, I like to suggest that if they like snipers, they might like the movie "Eyes of a Thief" a movie about a Palestinain Sniper who killed 10 Israelis at a checkpoint. For some reason, they don't think that guy is as heroic.
