The latest downward slide for Girl Scouts: 'Girl' is now optional
http://www.gopusa.com ^ | April 22, 2015 | Charles Butts

A traditional values leader is exposing the Girl Scouts for its continued move toward far-left causes.

The latest announcement, says Linda Harvey of Mission America, is that little boys from kindergarten through high school can join the Girl Scouts, if the boy considers himself a girl.

"In other words, he calls the shots," Harvey says of young males. "He is the one that determines the rights and privacy of authentic girls."

Regarding transgender youth, the website for the Scouts states that if a boy is recognized as living as a girl, "then Girl Scouts is an organization that can serve her in a setting that is both emotionally and physically safe."

The Girl Scouts began the move by pushing liberal sex education, although some local groups refuse to follow along, and then the Scouts decided the girls could define God as they wish - or deny Him.

OneNewsNow reported last year that the CEO of the Girl Scouts was trying to deflect ties to Planned Parenthood but pro-family watchdog groups, already tracking the association, reported otherwise.

The Girl Scouts were the targets of a "cookie boycott" last year after the group was accused of trumpeing Wendy Davis, the pro-abortion Democrat who ran for Texas governor.

In the latest news, a chapter is being organized for homosexual and lesbian families at the Utah Pride Center.

What the Girl Scouts are advocating, says Harvey, is "anything that is anti-Christian, and anything that would dishonor girls."

Meanwhile, a pro-family rival organization to the Girl Scouts, American Heritage Girls, is celebrating 20 years this year.

News of the soon-to-be extinct Girl Scouts of America. The hostile takeover of the GSA by radical sodomites has all but destroyed the organization. The BSA is not too far behind them.

Teenage boys have it so good nowadays. When I was in school, we couldn’t self-identify as a girl and hit the showers with them.

because it’s being allowed to happen. no one ridicules the actions by these people to their face. there is no reason to stop. no one is harassing their customers, their businesses, their political leaders. there is no consequence to aligning with the left.

meanwhile, aligning with the right results in attacks from the left.

this is where we are today

Anyone with a modicum of mental health, let alone morality, will gravitate to the faith-based youth organizations. The only ones left in the secular will be these types. Ironically, because of their extreme eccentricity they will not be able to manage or sustain them. Pretty much all the liberal organizations will go bye-bye.

Dream on.

He was elected president. Still enjoys at least 40% approval.

GSa, my kid, years ago, came out of a meeting of, saying - a fifth grader- saying, ‘I don’t know. No, not joining. I don’t like it. They had us doing some kind of pagan pledge chant”

Can’t win a spiritual battle with that.

Faggies rule and they’re coming to your house.

Of course, after sunset the rules of engagement are in your favor. Castle Doctrine I think it’s called.

I don’t think that children (or their parents) should be allowed to indulge in fantasies about not being the objective biological sex that they are born with. They are not fully mature, and I just think it wrong and potentially harmful for the child in the long run. If they want to act like a freak when they are of age, then that is a different matter. The world is going to hell in a handbasket. I just can’t believe that we just keep going down and down the slippery slope and people just accept it over time and don’t care.

We are in the days of Noah.

And as Jesus told his Apostles, that would be one of the signs of his coming.

[[The day by day systematic destruction of the greatest nation ever conceived.]]

Yep- We are witnessing it happen right before our eyes- 10 years ago this wasn’t even imaginable- but In the last 6 years it has been absolutely shocking how fast this country has slid into depravity and filth- Thanks liberals, Thanks for taking the greatest nation on earth and making it a cesspool of perversion and filth! Thanks you for destroying everything this nation cherished for 100’s of years in just 6 short years- Thanks for destroying everything decent and moral-

Thanks for nothing!

Bears repeating because this is exactly what is happening.

My folks always used to say “The pendulum will only swing just so far in one direction- give it time, the nation will reverse itself and bring back the morals we once held”

But I’m now of the opinion that American conservatives do not have the fight in them to do so any longer- Sure, there are small skirmishes around the country from time to time, but IF conservatives were SERIOUS about fighting the good fight, we would have ALL banded together with Mike Pence, with the bakeries and pizza shops, and photographers, and printing businesses that were attacked by the gay agendists and we would have shamed the gay agendists into backing off because we would have been a super majority standing yup for what is right- instead, mike pence, and the others I mentioned had to practically face their troubles alone while a small group of screaming leftists forced them to back down and submit
