Idk.. in recent years those cookie boxes have gotten smaller and more expensive. Girl scouts are no more or less godless than they ever been but I won't buy the damned cookies. And I think boy scouts overall is a more interesting and better program.

Yep -29again wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 11:43 pmShe really thinks people are boycotting GS because she was once one of them? Gee, so was I..... but who really cares? People have been boycotting GS and their cookies for quite a while now. I think maybe AOC just now heard about it and assumed a few things!water<wine wrote: ↑Thu Mar 07, 2019 10:28 pm of course, just like the manufactured outrage over her dancing video she has to come up with another. AOC cant go a day w/o deflecting from her bad press.
campaign finance violations and supporting her antisemite pal hasnt been good press this week. time to play victim and virtue signal- get some good old fashioned leftist attention
one author from one obscure site is not "conservativeS" (plural) it would be one critic- in a sea of millions.
now to the criticism. the article doesn't actually list AOC as the reason for not supporting girl scouts but their leftist affiliations, activism and propaganda. the author even states she was a girl scout herself, but the organization has changed into a godless Marxist leaning group at odds with her values. she suggests an alternative girl's group, "American Heritage Girls" that also "builds leadership skills in young girls". (the girl scouts dont have a monopoly AOC) she states AOC represents the road the girl scouts are on now by partnering with proabortion and leftist activist groups. I know the concept of symbolism is probably difficult for you, but that what it is.
from the article.
The IWD website encourages participants to donate to charities that promote their causes.
“No matter which feminist cause speaks to your heart, there is an organization that will resonate with you. This list encompasses programs fighting for reproductive rights, equal protection under the law, educational opportunities, political opportunities. …”
The recommended charities include the National Organization of Women, Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood and Ultra Violet, which promotes the election of progressive (that is the new term for ultra liberal) women."
It is little wonder the Girl Scouts have taken a sharp left turn and can be found marching for abortion rights, gun control and other radical feminist events like International Women’s Day.
Fortunately, there is now a good scouting alternative, the American Heritage Girls.

There has been a concentrated effort to boycott abortion cookies for awhile now.
Nothing to do with Occasional Cortex

We have a bunch of geniuses in here.
Oh abortion cookies? I'm going to go buy a few boxes for the OB department. They will love them.

The source she used only quoted a few sentences from WND .
I can’t imagine anyone agreeing with WND’s flaky blogs.
