GOP lawmaker: ‘Radicalized’ Girl Scouts ‘sexualizing’ recruits

According to the article GOP lawmaker: ‘Radicalized’ Girl Scouts ‘sexualizing’ recruits,

Republican state Rep. Bob Morris on Saturday sent a letter (PDF) to his fellow House Republicans explaining …

“As members of the Indiana House of Representatives, we must be wise before we use the credibility and respect of the ‘Peoples’ House’ to extend legitimacy to a radicalized organization,” he added. “I challenge each of you to examine these matters more closely before you extend your name and your reputation to endorse a group that has been subverted in the name of liberal progressive politics and the destruction of traditional American family values.”

So why is it that Sturbridge Stop & Shop will allow the Girl Scouts to peddle their cookies in front of the store, but they won’t let us collect signatures for Elizabeth Warren?  Elizabeth Warren isn’t nearly as radical as the Girl Scouts according to this Republican Indiana House member.


The Testimony Chairman Issa Doesn’t Want You to Hear

Why do they call it a hearing when they have no intention of hearing anything but their own echo? Maybe it should be called a tirading instead of a hearing.

If you wait for the punchline of the video, you will see why the committee needed to hear this exact testimony. It would have explained to them something that they had forgotten to consider. What if choosing the laws to ignore based on your moral beliefs interferes with another person’s ability to stay healthy?


On the MoveOn web site, they explain The Powerful Testimony The GOP Doesn’t Want You To Hear.

Today, an all male ‘witness’ panel was allowed to speak at the GOP’s hearing examining the Obama administration’s new regulation requiring employers and insurers to provide contraception coverage to employees. When Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke was presented to testify on behalf of the Minority, she was shown the door. She would have been the only female voice speaking on behalf of the millions of women who support access to birth control. Here is the basis of her testimony, had she been allowed to speak.
