All things Ocasio-Cortez

Oh, I thought you were referring to me. If they ever leave that parent organization, I will buy those cookies again. Those chocolate mint cookies are no joke.

Munch away, then. The myth that the GSA donates to PP is just that. A myth. Fake news. Not-at-all true.

I'm not into boycotts. I've bought lots of GS cookies in the past. In fact this is the first year since the before times when we've run out of girls acquainted to us in that age group. No thin mints for us this year. I was less worried about how the money would be used by corporate GS HQ, than I was about supporting the girl down the road.

It's the dumbest reason ever to boycott a product. That said, the individual girl scout only gets a few pennies per box... maybe 30 cents? The troop gets 30 cents. The rest all goes to the manufacturer. Worst profit share contract ever.

We had some girl scouts come around selling during our camping trip in January. This is what they told us.

I was completely disillusioned as an adult. The girls get almost nothing and their corporate is living high on the hog.

That's not what I said. Their parent organization is incredibly aggressive at promoting and funding abortions. It has nothing to do with Planned Parenthood as far as I know.

Background Facts:

Although the Girl Scouts claim they do not “take a position on abortion,” GSUSA indirectly promotes abortion through their affiliation with, links to, membership in, and financial support of pro-abortion organizations.

As noted in the Girl Scouts and Pro-Abortion WAGGGS section, GSUSA also supports abortion rights through their membership in, substantial funding of, and close relationship with the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), which aggressively promotes accessible, affordable and safe abortions.

One of the pro-life mothers who left the Girl Scouts upon learning of GSUSA’s relationship with WAGGGS reported the devastation she felt upon realizing that the WAGGGS pin she and her daughter had been wearing on their Girl Scout uniforms for years represented a pro-abortion organization.

As noted in the Girl Scouts and Pro-Abortion WAGGGS section, when Girl Scouts of the USA participate on WAGGGS UN teams they are participating with a delegation that aggressively promotes abortion. They also participate in UN caucuses, meetings and workshops that produce pro-abortion statements.

In 2010, Girl Scouts of the USA even facilitated the creation of a pro-abortion “Girls Statement” in their own United Nations “Girls Only Workshop.” (See the International Planned Parenthood section of this website to learn more about this controversial workshop.)

Despite GSUSA’s official statement that it does not take a position on girls’ health, sexuality, abortion or contraception, the “Girls Statement” GSUSA directed girls to work on during their workshop promoted abortion. Their statement demanded that UN Member States “ensure that girls have access to information and services regarding reproductive and sexual health.” (Emphasis added. Click here to read the “Girls Statement.”)

The GSUSA-facilitated “Girls Statement” to the UN was highly controversial because the term “reproductive health services” or any formulation of these words is commonly interpreted by UN Committees and agencies, as well as U.S. leaders such as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to include abortion. (Listen to Hillary Clinton testify at a Congressional hearing giving her opinion that “reproductive health” includes abortion.)

After receiving much negative media attention regarding the “Girls Statement” because of its pro-abortion language, GSUSA has attempted to distance itself from this statement they facilitated in their UN workshop.

Trump hasn't lied as far as I can tell so much as he just didn't know what he was tweeting about at 0300.

This is just a random selection, but Trump says highest poll numbers ever, and its not true.

To be clear, I'm not trying to beat trump up over it, its what he does. To engage with the lie, were I to be trying to hurt trump, would be a bad tactic.

The point isn't the lie. The lie isn't overly relevant. His point is true. He has good support with his base. By the time you could quibble over Eisenhower, he's already moved on to, and the emotion holds true.

Again, I wasn't attacking AOC or Trump, just that they have similar political styles.

Sounds like most of the MHF discussion. Hit and runs.

Pot call the teaspoon whaaaaaaaa?

AOC filed to run in wrong district before filing to run in the one she wanted to run in. And breaks campaign finance laws not because of felonious motivations but because they are incompetant. If dirty dick was a Congresswoman he would be AOC (D-ISIS).
