Indiana Representative Disses The Girl Scouts

 

There is hope for this country, as evidenced by the sarcasm and ridicule from his own party that greeted Indiana Rep. Bob Morris’ allegations that the Girl Scouts of America is a radical organization that promotes abortions and homosexuality, and is a “tactical arm” of Planned Parenthood. He made these allegations in a letter to fellow House Republicans Saturday, the start of the long President’s Day weekend. Yesterday the Indiana Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma called Morris’ comments absurd, spent much of the day passing out Thin Mints (that sinful Girl Scout cookie every chocoholic loves) and ended the day’s session by asking former and current members of the Girl Scouts in the chamber to stand up. He also told reporters that he had purchased over 200 cases of Girl Scout cookies since getting the letter.

Rep. Morris claims to have found the evidence of this dastardly plot on the Internet. Obviously no one has ever explained to this man that you can find evidence of anything on the Internet. He also stated that the inclusive action of a Colorado troop which admitted a transgender child last month was another reason for Christian conservative parents to pull their children out of the Girl Scouts. He has pulled his girls out, and is putting them into the American Heritage Girls.

I feel sorry for his girls.
