But are these really the only women supreme court justices? What if Stephen G. Breyer wakes up one morning and decides to identify as… Well, you know, the thing…
Girl Scouts Inc. is an exploitative corporation that is obsessed with profiting off of cookie sales. They are the NBA of snacks.
I thought the original tweet was rather nice. By showing all five women (two nominated by Republicans and three nominated by Democrats) they really took away any argument of partisanship. Crazy that they caved, but not surprising.
They do have quite the cookie racket. Must be their marketing plan.
The left is evil. Agree or be cancelled. Next March when all of the votes are tallied from our November election, we will know if our lives will be spared or speared by this culture.
As it happens I can’t eat cookies and when I buy them for family members they are ambivalent.
Sorry, girls, it’s been fun, but I think I’ll not buy henceforth.
It’s not like you can’t join the boy scouts now anyway.
That is a problem for them. They could easily defend the original tweet as apolitical. But, in removing the tweet, they took sides in a political dispute. They turned an apolitical statement into a political statement, undermining their claim to want to avoid politics.
Their post was bipartisan. They had one moderate Republican, three flaming liberal Democrats, and one conservative Republican. I know the words “bipartisan” and “nonpartisan” are different, but to me they’re the same when you honor all the women who’ve been appointed . . .
It was not political but for the Left “humanizing” a conservative is an unforgivable sin. They had a Sotomayor post for Hispanic Heritage month. No one complained because no one should complain about that.
I hope someone points it out.
Exactly my thought when Boy Scouts went coed. It’s sad to lose a boys-only place, but it’s also sad it’s the only place for girls to scout instead of be slave labor for cookies.
My wife was a Girl Scout but sadly didn’t want to have our daughter be one. She found out about the American Heritage Girls and we started it this year. So far it seems great.
Catholic Vote has a better way to look at Amy Coney Barrett for girls.
At one time, Peter Drucker held that organization as a model for non-profits. The reason was how they handled the transition from mothers at home with time on their hands to mothers who worked and who wanted “quality time with their daughters.” He thought that was brilliant marketing. That generation has passed on and the idiots have taken over.
When the hosts of a podcast I was listening to this week were discussing this topic, the lady on the podcast told a story from a few years ago. She was coming out of the grocery store and was asked by a Girl Scout to buy cookies. She told her no. One of the moms decided to push it and asked her to support the girls. She replied no and said she wouldn’t be supporting them. It escalated to the point were she said I will not support an organization that supports killing girls in the womb. Then she told the girls to ask their moms what partial-birth abortion is.
I don’t know when the decline started but it’s not a good organization now.
And their cookies are lousy too.
Yeah. The Boy Scouts used to be the treehouse with the “No Gurlz” sign over the entrance . . .
Some months back people on Ricochet were discussing this, and I’ve probably heard discussion elsewhere, too. Some people with kids in both organizations said they understand why girls would rather be in Boy Scouts. The Boy Scouts get to have activities and do fun things, like athletics, camping, and so on. The Girl Scouts mostly hold meetings and sell cookies, according to some parents.
