Then again,
LOL. His editor/s didn't catch that, either.
Abstinence fails... from their mouths to the devil's ears. Is not the agenda crystal clear?
Why don't they just make them anatomically correct so they can have sex and get abortions... complete with the cut up little arms and legs; Maybe even a boy that has to pay child support or mini-food stamps and a school to drop out of if your particular doll comes with a whole baby?
If Girl's Inc. was concerned about girl's well being and health, they wouldn't be pushing an agenda that lowers their self-esteem and puts girls in dangerous situations.
They're not around when their 'teachings' (which should come from parents anyway), are acted upon and the fallout that comes because of it... I can't see the self-esteem anywhere in that. Let's see statistics on the outcome of their 'help'.
I don't know about all of you... but I have seen everything from nip and tucks to emergency room operations on television; Why don't they show abortions? It's no big deal right?
Which part don't you understand?
I'm guessing that from the tone of Mr. McNally's rant, the boycott of "American Girl" is working much better than anyone could have predicted.
Remember the Liberal Mantra: "What we cannot Indoctrinate. We Humiliate and Intimidate!"

Last time I heard that abstinence failed Jesus was born.

That whole thing about Jerry Falwell's "crusade against Tinky Winky" was also a complete fabrication by the MSM, as was the "Dobson crusade against Sponge Bob". It's amazing how many liberals ignorantly believe these myths.
Glad I'm able to understand the difference now.

Uh-oh - someone must own stock in American Girl. This was quite the protest.
More American Girl ping...
<< The American Family Association was among the few organizations to perceive that preschool children were being brainwashed into pursuing a life of homosexuality by a sexually ambiguous Teletubby ....
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwnnnn ....
A man with even half a brain [Too smart, that is, to be either a Sodomnazi or a "Democrat"] doesn't need an "American Family Association" - a Mark-One Eyeball will do - to see that, world-wide, the chillruns' television industry is top-to-bottom [Now, that's punny!] poofter-owned operated-and-controlled.
And the same half-brained man can see that this epithet-rich piece, easily perceived to be butt a poofter polemicist's pathological projection, is butt a preaching to the already perverted.
No advocacy is involved. It's a simple matter of providing an honest education in the basics of good health for adolescent girls.
Okay, will someone please explain to me just how in the world abstinence sometimes fails?
The program is brainwashing little girls.
Is there a real story behind this? I have a hard time believing this rendition.
Almost as bad, in attempting to prevent teenage pregnancy, Girls Inc. reveals to girls that abstinence is not the only method of birth control. Since abstinence has been known to fail, it also acknowledges the existence of contraception and abortion.
Is this the best that the wild-eyed left can come up with after all this time?? That "abstinence has been known to fail"?? You need to get your money back from the "Wise-Ass-Comic-Columnist-Wannabes" school. So many years have gone by, and you STILL are not causing laughter, no matter one's political stripe. Get original here!
Among the things THIS group of wacko watchdogs is protesting is the idea of letting a young girl decide on her own what her reproductive "options" are. Perhaps these wacko watchdogs think that THEIR values should be promoted before those of some outside group? Sounds reasonable to me, no?
Oh, yeah -- and the promotion of abortion. Is there any special reason you mention the A-word only once? (Extra points to you for a nice side-step! Keep up the good work, and you'll expand your readership!) This group of wacko watchdogs doesn't happen to agree with you on that point. When did having a different moral or political slant on this subject become an issue for demeaning humor attempts?
St. Luke Catholic School in Brookfield recently canceled an American Girl fashion show that was expected to raise from $10,000 to $30,000 for the school.
Father Frank Malloy, the pastor of St. Luke school, said in canceling the American Girl event: "The cost is too high. Our integrity isn't for sale."
But when the president of the United States lends legitimacy to the wild-eyed right on issues such as teaching religious beliefs as science in our schools, pretty soon other institutions in our society start taking seriously other ridiculous right-wing ideas.
OK, young feller, which is it? Either it's a parochial institution that can teach whatever the flock it wants (because it pays their own way, for one thing) -- or (all of a sudden) it's an "institution in our society," (which is mixing your sacred "separation of church and state") (which does NOT exist as such in our Constitution) (so STOP saying it). Have you co-opted the Catholic Church as a government institution all of a sudden? Hmmmm....we'll have to start a class action against the VLWC on this one.
Oh, and my "wild-eyed left" remark from above? Apparently it's OK for Sen. Barak Obama to have an opinion on the subject (he thinks "it's silly") (but then he's a democrat so it's OK), but not conservatives who are raising kids (withOUT the Village). Please look what some African-Americans are saying on the subject of Planned Parenthood, abortions, and genocide:
Or we could just listen to the ignorant blatherings of right-wing extremists.... wild-eyed goofballs on the right.... wacko, right-wing watchdogs.... most of us are too naive - or not nearly psychologically twisted enough.... ignorant blatherings of right-wing extremists.... most people are far too intelligent to notice....
Wonderful! You'll laugh, you'll cry -- if there's one left-wing HATE-filled essay replete with DNC easy talking points that Hey! The Fax-Masters told you it was fool proof! Where were we? Oh, yeah. If there's one left-wing HATE-filled essay replete with UNORIGINAL sweeping generalities and unsubstantiated Kool-Aid talking points that you have to read this season, THIS IS IT!
WHY DOESN'T THE SACRED "FREEDOM OF CHOICE" EVER INCLUDE WHAT I WANT?
Long on accusations, short on substance.
