Is it any wonder that the Girl Scouts are dying? There is no worse lesson to teach young girls than caving to bullies.
There is no better post-modern feminist icon than brilliant jurist Amy Coney Barrett — mom of 7, SCOTUS, wife, friend, colleague, genius.
GOPers, pull your girls.

Amy Coney Barrett: Girl Scouts delete tweet congratulating Supreme Court Justice
A tweet by the Girl Scouts congratulating new Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett drew such outrage from Barrett’s critics that the youth organization swiftly deleted it
By: Indepndent, Octobr 30, 3030:
A tweet by the Girl Scouts congratulating new Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett drew such outrage from Barrett’s critics that the youth organization swiftly deleted it – only to draw a new backlash from Barrett’s supporters.
The original tweet, posted Wednesday evening, said, “Congratulations Amy Coney Barrett on becoming the 5th woman appointed to the Supreme Court since its inception in 1789.”
The post featured an image of Barrett, who was confirmed Monday and sworn in at the court on Tuesday; along with currently serving justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor; former Justice Sandra Day O’Connor; and Barrett’s predecessor, the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The post was quickly attacked by critics who view Barrett, a conservative, as a potential threat to civil liberties and women’s rights.
“What kind of patch does one earn for uplifting a woman who is the antithesis of justice?” tweeted U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.
Actor Amber Tamblyn tweeted that the Girl Scouts’ post is “really disappointing and won’t age well when access to safe abortion and the healthcare needs of millions of women and girls is gutted in this country because of Barrett’s addition to the court.”
Actor Zach Braff was among numerous people who tweeted about seeking alternatives to Girl Scout cookies due to disenchantment with the Barrett posting.
“(asterisk)Googles ‘How do you make your own thin mints,’” Braff tweeted.
As the online criticism mounted, the Girl Scouts deleted their original tweet and posted a new statement.
“Earlier today, we shared a post highlighting the five women who have been appointed to the Supreme Court. It was quickly viewed as a political and partisan statement which was not our intent and we have removed the post…. Girl Scouts of the USA is a nonpolitical, nonpartisan organization. We are neither red nor blue, but Girl Scout GREEN. We are here to lift up girls and women.”
The retreat by the Girl Scouts was quickly assailed by many of Barrett’s conservative supporters.
“Of course the @girlscouts caved to the mob and deleted this tweet congratulating Amy Coney Barrett. SAD,” tweeted the Independent Women’s Forum.
“This is pathetic,” TV personality Megyn Kelly tweeted to the Girl Scouts. “It’s not ‘partisan’ to generically congratulate the 5th woman ever to join the High Court. It’s patriotic. Taking your tweet down (asterisk)is(asterisk) partisan, however, and a real disappointment.”
There was no immediate reply from the Girl Scouts’ media spokeswoman to an Associated Press request for additional comment and for any details on whether Barrett had been in the Girl Scouts.
The Girl Scouts have been entangled in the culture wars as far back as the 1970s, when some conservatives became irked by the prominence of feminists such as Betty Friedan in the organization’s leadership.
More recently, in response to criticism from religious conservatives, the Girl Scouts insisted that they had no partnership with Planned Parenthood, and did not take positions on sexuality, birth control and abortion.
The Girl Scouts, along with the Boy Scouts of America and other youth organizations, have experienced membership declines in recent years, for reasons ranging from busy family schedules to the lure of online games and social media. According to 2018 data, the Girl Scouts had about 1.76 million girls and 780,000 adult members — down from about 2.9 million girls and 900,000 adult volunteers in 2003.

The BSA or the GSA is NOT an organization you should want your kids involved with.
It’s the liberal agenda on steroids.

I used to donate a little money to the Girl Scouts every year at cookie time, even after I quit eating sweets. Not any longer; I refuse to sponsor weak-minded PC culture people. See ya, GS.

Megyn Kelly is exactly right. Taking their tweet down was a partisan act. In fact, an anti-Trump political act.

The GSA went left a few years back – early 2000’s. The GSA and BSA is not compatible to a Christian worldview. The left always seeks to destroy the established organizations. This fools a lot of ignorant parents and of course the media is quiet about how they are being destroyed. They were ahead of the BSA on the homosexual agenda and allowed them in as Scout leaders and scouts. It didn’t work out well for the BSA and they are going bankrupt from sex lawsuits.

When you purchase Girl Scout cookies, you may think that the proceeds stay local, but only 10-20% is given to the local troop selling them. The regional council gets approximately 65-75%.

Pelosi: Girl Scouts’ Relationship With Planned Parenthood ‘Very Valuable’
By Elizabeth Harrington | February 1, 2012 | 3:16pm EST
…
The Girl Scouts have been linked to the nation’s largest abortion provider in the past. In 2010, a panel sponsored by the Girl Scouts USA at the United Nations Commission featured a Planned Parenthood pamphlet called “Healthy, Happy and Hot,” according to published reports.
A portion of the pamphlet read: “Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse. But there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. Sex can include kissing, touching, licking, tickling, sucking and cuddling. Some people like to have aggressive sex, while others like to have soft sex and slow sex with their partners. There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!”
A similar pamphlet was distributed at a Waco, Texas Girl Scouts organization in 2008 that included information on masturbation, diagrams of adults having sex and a boy putting on a condom.
…
A Girl Scout conference was also co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood in 2004.

That is disgusting. And, now California has made it legal to have “oral sex” with kids as young as 8 years old.
If anyone wants to know how powerful “youth” organizations really are….look back in history at the Hitler youths….brown shirts…..they even turned in their parents to the Nazis……
God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah…..it re-grouped in California.

You are such a broken record! I may start ignoring you too like everyone else here is doing. I guess you can’t take a hint….
Ayn Rand’s god was money and her philosophy was self centered, immoral and total selfishness. She had the morality of a cat in heat. None of this is what our country was founded on. You are no better than the LEFT.
It’s really unfortunate. Coming from Russia all she learned was to be a fiscal conservative. She wasn’t bright enough to figure out you also needed a MORAL society to make it work – social conservatism and fiscal conservatism

Here’s a tip for you….there are dozens of Communist countries…please pick one and exit our Country formed under Judaeo-Christian principles.
Nobody is forcing you to stay here.

‘I’m fighting for the future, your generation at this point is
irrelevant, your “judeo-christian” morality of sacrificial altruism is
what got America into this mess, there’s no going back to it. It’s over
and done with. The socialist is the better and more consistent altruist
than you “conservative” Christians,…’ If you believe that dreck, you have been well programmed and support violence against anyone who opposes what you say. If you live by the sword…..

SPINELESS, GUTLESS Girl Scouts delete tweet congratulating Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Well…no more Girl Scout Cookies for me.
It’s a shame that the girls have to suffer because of their “woke” sick, twisted leaders.
Moms and Dads…..take your girls out of this organization….because like a lot of parents who suffered financially from sending their daughters and sons to universities…..all you will end up with is a woke daughter/son who hates your guts.
INDOCTRINATION 101…..coming soon to your little kids classrooms….

INDOCRINATION 101 has been taught from kindergarten through grade twelve, since the late fifties/early sixties.

….same thing happened to my two younger brothers….an Explorer Scout “leader” sexually abused them and made them do horrible things to each other. My parents didn’t know until one of my brothers was in drug rehab…..the other turned out to be an alcoholic….a thief….and eventually killed our Alzheimer Dad with Abuse and Neglect….
DON’T ASSUME THAT ALL “BOY/GIRL” organizations are safe for your kids.

it’s bad enough what he did…..for your own parents to aid and abet him is unforgivable and sickening.
I’m so very sorry. I know it really screwed up my brothers. By the time my parents found out….the bastardo was already dead.
God loves you.
