Lawmaker won't honor 'radicalized' Girl Scouts

INDIANAPOLIS – A Fort Wayne lawmaker has refused to sign on to a resolution celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts, calling the group a "radicalized organization" that supports abortion and promotes the homosexual lifestyle.

He said he did some web-based research and found allegations that the Girl Scouts are a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood, allows transgender females to join and encourages sex.

Morris also said the fact that First Lady Michelle Obama is honorary president "should give each of us reason to pause before our individual and collective endorsement of the organization."

"I challenge each of you to examine these matters more closely before you extend your name and your reputation to endorse a group that has been subverted in the name of liberal progressive politics and the destruction of traditional American family values."

FYI: This is the moron in question. He owns a Healthkick Nutrition Center (a chain vitamin store) here in Fort Wayne -- http://www.in.gov/h84

They want you to choose among Thin Mints, Do-Si-Dos, Tagalongs, Samoas and whatever other yummy stuff they're selling this year.

Final words to me from my Leader: "Go outside and don't come back until you can act like a lady."

She was right.

More cookies for me!

Seriously...you'd be surprised at how many nutters on the Right actually believe this shit. Naturally, you can't argue facts with them -- I tried, once.

Actually, when you come right down to it, it's just one more attack in the current war on women. If you can't have 'em barefoot and pregnant, then society as we know it is doomed.

Now, a question: How many at the statehouse have functioning brain cells? They've been in embarrassing short supply this session.

it's all about control. Part of their continued war on women (even the young).

By the way comment is... this guy is young ; any bets on a certain strain of thought completely dying out in this country doesnt count on how generational it can be
