The Eagle Forum’s Phyllis Schlafly sat down for an interview with Newsmax TV during which she stated that President Obama owes the nation an apology for “the poor moral tone” he has set and for not recognizing America’s greatness or Christian foundation:
Conservative activist and commentator Phyllis Schlafly says President Obama owes the American people an apology for lowering the nation’s moral tenor and marginalizing Christianity.
In an exclusive interview, Schlafly told Newsmax that the president is wrong to say America isn’t a Christian nation. And she strongly objected to the “political correctness that has infected the Pentagon, the Army, that was manifested in the Fort Hood massacre, and now with this dis-inviting of Franklin Graham.”

Newsmax.TV asked Schlafly: “Considering the president of the United States is traditionally expected to be a role model, do you think President Obama owes America an apology for the poor moral tone set by his presidency?”
“Yes I do,” Schlafly replied. “And he should stop going around the world apologizing to other countries for America. Most other countries are better off because the United States has protected them against aggression. The great inventions of the United States have made their lives pleasanter and easier. And America is a very exceptional country.
“It’s unfortunate that Obama does not believe in American exceptionalism, or the Christianity in America. Yes, he does owe us an apology,” Schlafly said.
Among some of the other highlights: Schlafly also attacked the Bush family, saying conservatives were sick of them; claimed that Christians were being treated like smokers; and asserted that feminists hate Rep. Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin because they have husbands, families, and success careers:
She reacted strongly to former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s statement that the GOP must shed its image as “the old white guy party” and move beyond nostalgia over the presidency of Ronald Reagan. “We’re tired of the Bush family,” Schlafly said bluntly. “They’re ancient history now. We’re proud to be the party of no. We say no to Obama’s globalist ideas. We say no to his bad judicial appointments. We say no to his incredible spending, his spreading the wealth, and trying to turn America into something we’re not. We’re proud to be the party of no.”
…
Anti-Christian activists are trying to marginalize any public expression of Christian faith. “What the atheists are doing is treating Christians like smokers,” Schlafly said. “In other words you can do it in your own room, in your own house, but not in public. And that’s not the American way. Americans have always had public demonstrations of our belief in God. The pledge of allegiance is another thing that’s under attack.”
…
“They are successful women,” Schlafly told Newsmax. “And you need to understand that the main goal of the feminists is to make women feel they are victims of an oppressive, patriarchal society. And both Michele Bachmann and Sarah Palin are successful women. They’ve both got a neat husband, a lot of children, they have been successful in politics — and that is what the feminists absolutely cannot stand.”
