There is just no end to the attacks by right wing nut jobs and their hate. Republican state Rep. Bob Morris told the Indiana State Legislator that he will not sign a House Resolution recognizing the100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts of America because they are a ‘radical’ organizations.
Morris claims that the Girl Scouts were given a list of 50 role models who were "feminists, lesbians or communists."
In a report by the Journal Gazette, Morris says that when the Girl Scouts were attending an education seminar, girls were directed to a list of 50 role models. Morris said, "only three, have a religious background." The rest are "feminists, lesbians or communists."
Morris claims the Girl Scouts handed out Planned Parenthood pamphlets at a United Nations seminar in 2010 and the title of the pamphlets was "Happy, Healthy and Hot". Girl Scouts of the USA has denied this.
Morris said the fact that First Lady Michelle Obama is honorary president "should give each of us reason to pause before our individual and collective endorsement of the organization."
Rep. Win Moses, D-Fort Wayne, said his daughter was a Girl Scout and he appreciates how it helps young girls to grow into fine young women with leadership qualities.
"To politicize it, to demonize it, is unfair," he said. "I'm shocked they would be treated in this manner."
Rep. Kathy Richardson, R-Noblesville, spoke in support of the resolution last week as a former Girl Scout member herself.
"I guess he's entitled to his opinion," she said. "They are out selling cookies – not sex and abortions."
In the letter Morris wrote to his colleagues in the Legislature, "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," he said in the letter.
