Now the Republicans are after the Girl Scouts

http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/indiana-lawmaker-accuses-girl-scouts-promoting-sex-group-a-tactical-arm-planned-parenthood-article-1.1025896


The headline actually reads:

Indiana lawmaker accuses Girl Scouts of promoting sex, says group is a ‘tactical arm’ of Planned Parenthood
Rep. Bob Morris is accusing Girl Scouts of being "radicalized organization" that supports abortion and promotes homosexuality.

Just when you think they can't get any more bizarre, they come up with stuff like this.

[rfranklin]

1. They obviously don't have enough to occupy their minds...

perhaps some work camps would be in order.

[ffr]

69. Who elected such a goof?

[Scootaloo]

72. Republican voters

(this will usually be the answer every time you ask that question. Except when you're talking about Joe Lieberman)

[rfranklin]

91. His constituents are republicans...just ashamed to admit it...

There is no other explanation.

[HangOnKids]

111. It would be helpful if they HAD minds

That is the real issue, these Licans are just vapid fools.

[pinboy3niner]

2. That's a switch. Male GOP pols usually make headlines for being after Boy Scouts.

[Frustratedlady]

17. Literally!

We should be looking elsewhere for what they're up to. You know Rove's tactics...draw our attention with stupid stuff while they pull their shenanigans elsewhere. They are up to something.

[DirkGently]

52. That's the problem. Republicans have uses for little boys.

Boy Scouts. Altarboys. Preferably something with a uniform and a code of silence.

[Old and In the Way]

3. The Mental Illness Party

The accelerating rate that the mass of stupidity is collapsing on itself indicates the core is going critical. A couple more years, tops, before the Republican brand is reduced to a black hole.

[bluecoat_fan]

9. Not 2 years, it will happen this November.

My "normal" Republican friends are now calling themselves "Independent" and pretend they always have been Independent. This is why I believe the Santorum surge is not being caused by a rise in popularity, but rather a very fast shrinking base.

[Old and In the Way]

11. I agree totally.

He's reflecting what the Base is and wants - idiots who have no clue where their ideology will lead this society.

[Scootaloo]

73. It won't be obvious for two more years, though.

They'll still hold seats and positions after November. 2014 will see the end of that, almost certainly.

It took the Whigs about four, six years to curl up and pass away. Granted that was accelerated by the rise of the Republican party, but in out face, it looks like instant media access will have much the same effect.

[Bohunk68]

89. Don't count those chickens just yet!

History, dear readers, history! Every time you go to count them out, they always come back just like a bad penny. Good grief, have you all forgotten about 2010!

[bluecoat_fan]

117. You are absolutely correct.

If Santorum becomes the chosen one, then the religious freaks will come out in droves this November.

[Scootaloo]

121. No, I haven't forgotten abou 2010

"LET'S LET THE REPUBLICANS WIN TO SEND A MESSAGE TO THE DEMOCRATS THAT THEY CAN'T TAKE US FOR GRANTED!"
"O-M-G THE REPUBLICANS WON HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!"

2010, the year of hipster progressivism.

Thankfully this is a presidential election year, and turnout will be much higher than midterms.

[kshannonk]

65. Lobotomies, Anyone?

They get crazier with each passing day. Love your comment. There should be a like button.

[Old and In the Way]

105. Hey, thanks! Welcome aboard!

I'm honored that your 1st comment here would be on my post.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Morris left out that Girl Scouts are far more tolerarant of atheists compared to the Boy Scouts.

And FWIW, I'm proud of my "Promoting Sex" Badge.

[pinboy3niner]

6. The Girl Scouts have a "Promoting Sex" merit badge?

I did not know that.

[JHB]

20. And Ironically, it's the Republicans who try to take it from "private" to "corporal"...

...so to speak.

[lapislzi]

97. Mom would be so proud of me. n/t

[AngryOldDem]

85. Girl Scouts are far more tolerant, period.

That's why the crazy Right has its pants in a twist over them.

[MADem]

5. Tempting us all with their Thin Mints, the little hussies!!!!

You can not make this shit up!

[JHB]

21. Actually, you CAN make it up...

...after all, that's what they did!

[MADem]

22. Point taken! nt

[ChairmanAgnostic]

81. Do girl scouts hold their mints between their knees as a form of birth control?

And since GS does teach how to love your planet, obviously they are radical Islamists.

[salvorhardin]

7. More info here

[NotThisTime]

8. Now we can start taking away the rights of young girls while we take away the rights of women...

If this ass had his way

[malaise]

10. ReTHUGS are practicing slash and burn politics

They are attempting to destroy every institution that refuses to share their ideological perspective. You see first amendment rights only apply to their agenda.

Until they are locked up for treason this shit will continue.

[Gman]

12. They just can't help themselves

Who left the door open and let all these nuts out?

[woodsprite]

18. Reagan n/t

[blue neen]

67. Oh, that's perfect.

You are so right. I wish a could nominate your post for the greatest page!

[asjr]

13. They have been after the "Brownies" for

years.

[mwooldri]

92. Can't have science interfering now, can we?

All of those junior Girl Scouts out on a hike can drive people crazy. As would Brownian Motion.

[WolverineDG]

14. He obviously has no clue about the history of the Girl Scouts

It's always been inclusive & ALWAYS advocated for the advancement of girls & women.

[HangOnKids]

112. Exactly Why He Is After Them DG

Can't be for advancing girls and women, that's BLASPHEMY!

[Quantess]

15. They wish! Gives the dirty old creeps something to think about.

Gross.

[d_r]

16. he said did some research on the internet

idiot

[gratuitous]

23. So did I - you know what I found out about these subversives?

Thank the good Lord that there are men like Rep. Morris, is all I have to say. From their own website, here's what the Girl Scouts are teaching:

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

I think everyone can see and agree that this Must Be Stopped. Helping people? Respecting myself and others? Make the world a better place? All anathema to the Republican party! And how DARE they pledge to be responsible for what they say and do? Have the sterling examples of Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum and scores of other Republicans taught them NOTHING?! This is clearly an agenda at direct odds to Republicans.

[tsuki]

29. If they can boo The Golden Rule, the GS Pledge is fair game. nt

[Amaril]

90. Ah, you beat me to it!

Was going to post the Promise & the Law -- I still remember both, lo these many years later. The new version is different from the one I learned, but it's still basically the same message.

They were a subversive bunch, what with their teaching us to respect ourselves and others and to be good citizens and stewards of our planet. Where was this man 30 years ago when these "whores of Babylon" were teaching me to batik & macrame? Not to mention the bird watching and "nature hikes" -- oh, the damage they have done to so many tender psyches!

I'm sure I don't need the , but I'll toss one in there just in case.

[a2liberal]

98. It's almost as bad as

a judge having empathy!

[DCKit]

19. The Girl Scouts need to create a badge for kneecapping assholes. nt

[AllyCat]

54. DUzy!!

[DCKit]

127. That wasn't meant to be funny or non-serious. nt

[AllyCat]

130. Sorry. Guess it hit me the wrong way. My mistake.

[DCKit]

133. Not at all. I just thought it might be a good idea.

I've known some fine scouts in my day, and they don't deserve this shit - especially since the reason they're getting this raft of shit is because they decided to show tolerance.

[Auggie]

24. Radicals at work:

[boppers]

46. LOL, too cute. eom

[JNathanK]

129. The NSA should put them on their watch list! n/t

[penndragon69]

25. Thank you, reagan.

If you look at the numbers, the raising number of ultra conservative republiecons can be traced to
Saint ronnies closing of most of the mental hospitals in America.

As long as we had the loons locked up, we could restrict their chances of breeding.
Once his holiness let them loose on the streets of America, they began multiplying like
rabid cockroaches.

Thanks again reagan.

[onenote]

31. "loons"? Really?

Nice progressive rhetoric there....the people in mental institutions are "loons" that, if not kept locked up, will multiply like cockroaches.

And while its true that Reagan signed bi-partisan legislation (supported for different reasons by some on the left as well as some on the right) that unfortunately ended up leaving many mentally ill people without care, that happened while he was governor of California. If you can find a link that shows where Reagan (who never had a repub majority in both houses during his 8 years in office) closed most of the mental hospitals in America, I'd be interested in seeing it.

But at least we now know that for some at DU, involuntary commitment is a progressive cause.


By the way, before the flames start, I'm no fan of Reagan. But I'm also not a fan of using derogatory terms in reference to the mentally ill. And I am a fan of historical facts.

[Major Nikon]

71. There's quite a bit to the story, but yes Raygun was responsible for a lot of it

The Mental Health Systems Act of 1980 was written by Ted Kennedy and was the last phase of implementation of the recommendations made by Carter’s Mental Health Commission. Raygun's 1981 budget promptly gutted the program. Sure congress had their role to play, but Raygun was the driving force. Mandatory committment of non-violent mentally ill ended not because of Raygun, but anyone who claims that Raygun didn't effectively throw the mentally ill out in the street both before and after he became presidunce either aren't very well informed or they are lying. Much of the problems we have with homelessness and incarceration of the mentally ill can be traced directly back to Raygun's gutting of federal mental health programs.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

122. +1 n/t

[Auggie]

32. Immature, idiotic post

[Scootaloo]

74. But protected by opinion of DU Jury!

Apparently eugenicist dumbfuckery is cool now.

[AngryOldDem]

86. Not quite.

It is, however, a direct cause of the massive number of homeless people living on the streets.

What Reagan did was give the Religious Right (the likes of Jerry Falwell, et. al.) the platform they needed to gain the foothold they now have in politics.

Oh -- and a BIG to your reference to "loons."

[Le Taz Hot]

94. This is EXACTLY correct.

Before Reagan the right-wing christofascists were delegated to the fringe of society, as they deserved to be. But Reagan believed that he needed them to beat Carter and brought them into the mainstream and gave them legitimacy. Unfortunately now, BOTH parties cater to them (Rick Warren, anyone?) which is why they are, once again, permeating every part of our lives.

[JNathanK]

132. I kind of buy that more. Its not really chemically imbalanced people, so much as deluded people. n/t

[JNathanK]

131. interesting theory n/t

[Swede Atlanta]

26. Ridiculous........

First of all Mr. Morris, don't believe everything you read or see on the Internet. You must carefully qualify your sources of information as the Net is full of misinformation placed there both intentionally and unintentionally.

Secondly, I doubt that an organization that is committed to providing a nurturing, educational and fostering experience for GIRLS is going to have ties to an organization that provides healthcare to women. Yes, Planned Parenthood may provide services to young women that have been Girl Scouts but that connection is very attenuated.

Further to suggest the Girl Scouts "promote" homosexuality is ridiculous.

Dictionary.com defines promote (in this context) as: to help or encourage to exist or flourish; further: to promote world peace.

There is no conceivable way to consider the Girl Scouts' tolerance and acceptance of transgendered or gay girls as "promotion". They aren't advertising to young women, hey come on to the Girl Scouts because we are all about encouraging young women to become lesbians.

Republicans claim to be for smaller government that does not intrude in people's lives have no problem with government being concerned about what goes on in people's bedrooms.

[NewJeffCT]

27. I did some research on the internet

It said that Rep. Bob Morris of Indiana is a fucking asshole.

[11 Bravo]

28. Well, women were starting to fight back. Those he-man repugs decided girls make an easier target.

[RevStPatrick]

30. I think the proper response to this sort of thing is...

"Really? I didn't know that. Good for them! I'll have to be sure to buy some extra cookies this year..."

[newspeak]

119. yes, I'm going out today

and this idiot reminded me, I want to buy some of those yummy lemonade cookies.

[olegramps]

33. Inbreding, a GOP virtue, is a dangerous practice.

[Make7]

34. Well, at least they are picking on someone their own size. ( n/t )

[CTyankee]

36. Any Girl Scout troop could make better laws than Morris and his ilk...

all of my granddaughters have been in the Girl Scouts.

[Jamesm9164]

35. Hans Zeiger, a currently sitting R from Washington State

said the same things in a column he published several years ago.

[AlbertCat]

114. Hans Zeiger,.... said the same things in a column he published several years ago

So it's a Right Wing male fantasy.... "lezie girl scouts get it ooooon in the woods! See "Lick my Merit Badge"! rated XXX"

[JNathanK]

128. lmao

[Faygo Kid]

37. Can I still buy their cookies?

The right grows increasingly more insane by the day.

[yellowcanine]

39. My solution is to double my normal buy. I am not crazy about the cookies, though I

do like the thin mints, particularly with vanilla ice cream, but I am willing to sacrifice for the cause of promoting tolerance. Maybe this yahoo has stock in the company which makes the cookies and is doing this to boost sales?

[lunasun]

99. You can 'buy' cookies from the scouts but donate to troops overseas that is an option this yr

Saw them at a table on the tollway oasis last weekend and remembered the diss they are getting
We do not do food like that but gave them 3 boxes for the troops

[LynneSin]

104. I bought $50 worth and donated it to the local Breakfast Mission

figured everyone deserves a girl scout cookie!

[yellowcanine]

38. 'Rep. Bob Morris of Fort Wayne said he did some research on the Internet and found allegations...'

ooooh! INTERNET ALLEGATIONS! Prosecute the little cooky pushing hussies, already!

Good GAWD. It is as if they are TRYING to look ignorant.

[Monk06]

40. They're all Communist lesbians and their cookies are made with marijuana and fluridated water.

[DinahMoeHum]

60. Regarding the cookies: I wish!!

[alp227]

43. Anyone remember when the GOP actually SUPPORTED the ERA???

Last edited Wed Feb 22, 2012, 02:09 PM - Edit history (1)

http://www.ford.utexas.edu/library/document/platform/rights.htm

Seriously. As president, Gerald Ford (the last sensible Republican president other than Eisenhower) supported the Equal Rights Amendment, and his party made the ERA part of its 1976 platform. Of course 4 years later the anti-ERA activists like Phyllis Schlafly finally housed the party into Crazy Town and thus you get Republicans who embrace a religiously conservative POV like this Morris guy. Oh yeah I wonder if he supported the recent creationism bill (really in 2012 a bill to allow public schools to teach creationism was intro'd in this state legislature).

I'm of the generation who knows the 70s via "That 70s Show" and oldies radio and personal interest in US history. For someone who came of age during Smirking Boy George's admin it is hard to believe his party once supported gender equality enough to endorse such an amendment in official platform.

[ieoeja]

118. As someone who came of age in the '70s, it was the decade that enjoyed the fruits of the '60s.

The biggest fights were won. Liberalism was ascendant. Nixon famously stated, "we are all Keyensian now". Union membership was at an all time high. Women and minorities could get jobs. Being attracted to members of the same sex was no longer illegal.

An ultra-conservative, evangelical community near the farm where I grew up used to throw some wild ass parties in the '70s. Conversely, I often read DUers today who view drinking as evil. Watching the devolution in this country has been truly sad.

My high school friends once accused me of turning Liberal after moving to the city. So we went through the issues and found that the only issue on which we still agreed was the only issue on which *they* had not pulled a 180. Then, of course, they accused me of not "growing out of it". In reality, like me, they left home. Unlike me, the larger world scared them. But who wants to admit that? Instead the larger world had to be wrong. The fact that Reaganism was in full swing encouraged them in that direction.

Today's progressives are often fascistic by 1970s standards. Alcohol is one example where it really jumps out. Had I told anyone in 1980 the police would soon be setting up roadblocks to see if people were driving intoxicated, everyone would have called me nuts. Even the fairly hard Rightists would have opposed something that sounded straight out of Nazi Germany. Today, your average progressive thinks roadblocks are great things!

[Dont call me Shirley]

[Botany]

51. are you kidding me?

Girls getting out and camping and doing "whatever" has nothing to do w/ an
adult sex life or planned parenthood.

Bob Morris is one twisted piece of shit and needs to get some help ASAP.

[AllyCat]

53. In other circles, these people would be locked up.

Seriously, these people are just completely crazy. Just COMPLETELY crazy. This does not make a LICK of sense. Not ONCE when I was a Girl Scout did we talk about Planned Parenthood or any other kind of parenthood. We did crafts, service projects, and went camping.

These Republicans are completely INSANE.

[Botany]

57. But you made crafts!

maybe even witch craft????




Nothing could be sweeter or more pure than boy scouts or girl scouts
@ certain times .... we cooked corn in the husk in camp fires as a boy
scout ..... the girl scouts that met @ the house next door to mine
cooked marshmallows and sang songs.

The man has issues.

After controversial remarks by one Republican lawmaker attacking Girl Scouts as a radical group that supports abortion, House Speaker Brian Bosma made his feelings clear Tuesday, one Thin Mint cookie at a time.

Bosma, R-Indianapolis, pointedly offered Girl Scout cookies throughout the day and munched them as he presided over the House.
....
At one point Tuesday, he told House colleagues he had "purchased 278 cases of Girl Scout cookies in the last 48 hours."

[Initech]

58. The GOP has officially become certifiably insane.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

61. I think someone has over smoked his med. weed!

Girl Scouts are more into cookie sales that Planned Parenthood.

[AlbertCat]

115. I think someone has over smoked his med. weed!

He doesn't smoke mellow weed...

It's his Ambien talking. He's still asleep! It's what happens when you mix it with Lipitor, Codeine and Viagra.


If he was smoking weed, he'd be mellow and hungry for GS cookies.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

124. Good point.

And if he was toking hw would also be way to busy getting his hands on Doritos. At least that is my thoughts when I have been high. Not that getting high is a good thing. but I do need Doritos at that time.

[sarcasmo]

62. These people have become our version of the Taliban.

They get crazier by the day.

63. Okay. Now I know 100% for sure that these folks are bonkers .

If there was ever the slightest doubt, this latest nuttiness proves these limpets are certifiable.

[MsPithy]

64. If they promote lesbianism,

why do they need to support the abortionists at Planned Parenthood?

[SammyWinstonJack]

107. heh.

[BlueDemKev]

66. And what's sickening is that people are stupid enough to vote for Republicans

[blue neen]

68. Well, it's time to stock up on Girl Scout Cookies.

The cookies do freeze well.

Let's hope that they sell even more this year!

[DefenseLawyer]

70. My favorite part of the story is that he said "others" in the legislature would be joining him

in his Holy War against the Girl Scouts, only to find out that he was too wing nutty for one of the wing nuttiest legislative bodies in history and he was on his own. We're goin' streakin'!!!!!

[cliffordu]

75. And the stupid just gets deeper and without end,

Amen.

[dadzilla]

76. Why didn't you know...

He did his research on the web... On a semi-related question, where do you find people this stupid?

[onager]

77. Here's where this nonsense originated...

...as far as I can tell.

There's a bunch of wackaloons calling themselves "Honest Girl Scouts." Naturally, they have a website. It links the regular Girl Scouts...the "dishonest" ones, I guess, in Topsy-Turvy World...with Planned Parenthood, sex ed, contraception, homosexuality, etc. etc.

They are also pissed off, apparently, because they heard that some G.S. troop somewhere accepted a transgendered child.

Brace yourself, this is UGLY...both in design and intent: http://www.honestgirlscouts.com/

Fittingly, I first read this over at Fundies Say The Darnedest Things:

http://www.fstdt.com/

I posted about it a couple of weeks ago, in the Religion group.

Once when I stopped to buy cookies, I told one of the moms helping out that - as an atheist - I was glad the Girl Scouts didn't discriminate on the basis of religion or sexuality. Unlike some little Junior Brownshirts I could mention.

She said (something like) - "That's because we're here to help the kids, not to play politics."

Atheist Amen!

[zenaedmundson]

78. Do they like anyone?

One wonders?

[Skittles]

82. RICH.WHITE.MEN.

[SammyWinstonJack]

108. They are self-loathing creatures and are taking it out on EVERYONE in one form or another.

[AngryOldDem]

84. Here's a really funny upshot to all this

I posted this in the Indiana forum.

Brian Bosma, House Speaker, bought about 260 boxes of Girl Scout cookies and was handing out cookies Tuesday at the Statehouse. When it was time for the House to adjourn for the day, he asked that anyone who was in the Girl Scouts to stand to second the adjournment. Almost every woman in the House chamber -- including representatives -- stood up.

Usually I have nothing good to say about Bosma (who drove Right to Work in the House), but I was glad to see one of GOP's own finally have his bellyful of this craziness, even if it was only on one issue.

Bob Morris has made himself scarce for interviews. Wonder why?

[Rhiannon12866]

87. How about Brownies?! I was a Brownie...

[spicegal]

88. It appears that a bizarre, yet to be named, form of psychosis

is spreading through the ranks of the GOP. Perhaps this should be reported to the CDC for immediate study, as it could be contagious. They're now attacking the Girl Scouts. Who will it be next?

[Ganja Ninja]

93. We're going to need a lot of straight jackets and a rubber room as big as Rhode Island. n/t

[bobbycoxs]

95. I love this guy

He makes me laugh out loud at least once every two days. He is comedy gold and completely bat-sh** crazy, super funny though if you don't take him seriously, as you shouldn't because he's nuts.

"radicalized organization"

[Javaman]

101. the repukes getting between the Girl Scouts and their cookies

there are a number of families (many of them repukes) in my neighborhood that have kids in the girl scouts.

They do the yearly cookie sale, (which I might add; I buy way too much) and for the repukes to come out with this half witted cooked up piece of rampent stupidity at this time of the great national cookie binge is nothing but epic fail.

this won't help the gop in any way shape or form.

whom ever cooked this one one up, fucked up royaly.

109. The Republican hate brigade

marching on. They really can't be beat when it comes to freak shows.

[nbolick]

110. A bunch of McCarthyists.

Republicans are just reverting to McCarthyism. Apparently the Girls Scouts didn't come out and explicitly say that all gay people are heathens and will spend eternity in hell. So, they must be trying to bend these young women around their perverted homosexual agenda. What I want to ask is, 'So?' Speaking hypothetically here, what if the girl scouts did promote homosexuality? What would it really hurt? Once you recognize that there is nothing inherently different about a homosexual and a heterosexual this whole thing looks even more ridiculous.

116. I'm telling you there are more and more signs of mental illness emerging from these people.

It's called "Delusional Disorder" by the medical professionals.

"Delusions are irrational beliefs, held with a high level of conviction, that are highly resistant to change even when the delusional person is exposed to forms of proof that contradict the belief. Non-bizarre delusions are considered to be plausible; that is, there is a possibility that what the person believes to be true could actually occur a small proportion of the time. Conversely, bizarre delusions focus on matters that would be impossible in reality. For example, a non-bizarre delusion might be the belief that one's activities are constantly under observation by federal law enforcement or intelligence agencies, which actually does occur for a small number of people. By contrast, a man who believes he is pregnant with German Shepherd puppies holds a belief that could never come to pass in reality. Also, for beliefs to be considered delusional, the content or themes of the beliefs must be uncommon in the person's culture or religion. Generally, in delusional disorder, these mistaken beliefs are organized into a consistent world-view that is logical other than being based on an improbable foundation."

I posted this very link and excerpt on Malaise's thread about Santorum and his delusions about
Satan attacking America.

GW had delusions about hearing God's voice, remember that?

How is it possible that these displays of mental illness are not addressed by
the public?

Shouldn't we demand that they get help instead of accepting "crazy" as the
norm for public figures?
