Some Texans Boycott Girl Scout Cookies

[progressivebydesign]

CRAWFORD, Texas - Some families are boycotting Thin Mints and Do-Si-Dos and other Girl Scout cookies. Troop 7527 is down to just two members after the other girls were withdrawn by their parents. And Brownie Troop 7087 is no more.

The furor was started a few weeks ago by the leader of the anti-abortion group Pro-Life Waco, who sent out e-mails and ran ads on a Christian radio station urging people to boycott Girl Scout cookies because of the "cozy relationship" between the Girl Scouts and Planned Parenthood.

Okay.. WTF is wrong with these people?? Hmmm.. hateful, spiteful, cruel, backward.... Crawford, Texas. Sounds familiar. Someone famous lives there, wonder who?

If you read further into the story you'll see that people are buying cases of the cookies to helpt those Girl Scouts out, and send a big screw-you to those narrow-minded bigots. The wonderful thing about Girl Scouting is that it teaches girls that EVERYONE is accepted. They deserve support for trying to help girls find their way in corporate sexed-up America. Parents like these are so clueless.. they think by doing these things that they will stop their teen daughters from having sex before marriage, it won't. It will only make sure that the girls do not have adequate access to info about Aids and birth control. Texas has had many cases of Aids amongst teens in small towns.. just like that one. Why do people like these always have to call themselves "Christians"? There is nothing Christian about them.
