Then again,
Then again,
politics, i guess.
As usual, the moonbats get it dead wrong. It's not that we are afraid that we are "buying a miniature lesbian companion" for our daughters; it IS that we refuse to support a company that gives money to causes we find abhorent.
Oh my, I feel so ridiculed and ashamed I'm going to run out and by a few dozen for my girls.
What crap.
This kind of article really makes me want to change my 'wacko' mind about buying these dolls for my 5 year old daughter--NOT. Is this person condescending much?? Think we'll stick with Barbie here.
Huh??
"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."
Abstinence fails once in a while? What happens, miracle virgin births or something? Scientists everywhere must be baffled by the new phenomena the left wing just stumbled upon.
"eye chiuaua!"
What, what, WHAAAAT??????
How can abstience fail? How can it possibly fail?
You can still get pregnant by NOT having sex? Hmmmmmmmmmm
Nothing "healthy" about homosexuality. In fact, it's one of the most unhealthy lifestyles extant, judging from the mortality of its practicioners.
... Girls Clubs of America, which for 140 years has organized programs encouraging young girls to feel good about themselves ...
I'm not sure that's what the Girls Clubs taught. I suspect it had a trifle more to do with behaving morally. Or maybe that's the Girl Scouts ...
... in educating adolescent girls about sexuality, Girls Inc. fails to teach young women to hate themselves or anyone else if they happen to be gay.
That's probably okay. But it's probably not correct -- except in the political sense -- to teach them that it's perfectly moral to be a homosexual, or to cavalierly accept homosexual practices in others. They have a better guide for those values; it's called the Bible.
... 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
Abstinence has NEVER failed to prevent pregnancy. People have failed to practice abstinence, to be sure, but where it is applied, it is 100 percent effective.
... it also acknowledges the existence of contraception and abortion.
Talk about "failing" ...
an honest education in the basics of good health for adolescent girls.
Nothing "honest" or "healthy" about promiscuity or lesbianism. Nice attempt to frame the argument, but no dice.
And in the end, if American Girl wants to support lesbianism, by all means, let them. And parents are perfectly free to boycott their products and drive them out of business.
And wouldn't you know? The liberal has also failed to point out the real reason we won't be buying American Girl dolls. The liberal didn't use the "A" word.
I propose that the sensible tolerant left buy all the American Girl dolls not being snapped up by the wild-eyed right. After all, how devastating can it really be for a corporation to lose the business of folks who are not part of the mainstream?
(sarc tag for the humor impaired)
From the tone of his article, he sounds like a wild-eyed crazed wacko foaming at the mouth because someone stepped on his agenda. LOL!!
Abstinence has never been known to fail unless they are talking about rape.
Does this writer even know that the dolls represent (fictional) historic characters? Yeah, every executive wants a trophy wife who dresses like an 1840's immigrant farm girl, or a Civil War era slave.
http://www.visionforum.com/beautifulgirlhood/ is the doll collection to buy. Give them a banner year and the boot to American Girl Dolls.
Homosexual Agenda Ping.
Just a little humor. Interesting example of lunatic leftist flying spittle ranting, good for a laugh.
And, just the for the record: the guy who either produced or invented "a sexually ambiguous Teletubby named Tinky Winky" was actually a homosexual and did indeed have the plan of introducing "gender bending" cartoon characters to kids to soften them up towards homosexuality.
