Beware Lesbian Abortion Cookies! The Worst Conservative Attacks On the Girl Scouts
Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 3/2/2015 1:00 pm
While Girl Scouts across the country spent this past weekend selling and distributing Girl Scout cookies, many right-wing activists will not be joining the rest of us in enjoying Thin Mints and Samoas.
For the past several years, conservative groups have urged their members not to touch the cookies, warning that doing so will support communism, abortion and homosexual indoctrination. The Girl Scouts right-wing detractors commonly cite the discredited myth that the group is funding Planned Parenthood, and the even stranger that it is turning children into lesbian, socialist activists.
Here are the three wildest claims that right-wing activists make about the girls empowerment organization:
1) Girl Scouts Push Lesbianism On Children!
2) Girl Scouts Promote Abortion And Promoscuity!
3) Girl Scouts Commit Child Abuse By Accepting Transgender Girls!

(39,343 posts)Actually, I don't care if you get them or not.
I got a few boxes because our neighbor's kid was selling them.
But it does seem like you get a lot less than before, plus they don't seem to taste as good as before.
If you are scared of the "Agenda" that is secretly behind the cookies, then you should probably be buying more tinfoil for your hat collection.

We were told by the leader that the only way our daughter could join is if we took over the troop. We didn't know he first thing about Girl Scouts but this lady was pressuring us into taking over the bank account and everything else. At that point, we just walked away.

After two, I put the box away and never went back.

(722 posts)hmmm, this month I am feeding my boys (11 and 12) a steady diet of thin mints for dessert. These powerful cookies might turn them into abortion-seeking lesbian hoes.
Guess I'll have to keep them all to myself. Yummy
