I wonder if he thinks the boy scouts are a radical group, also?

What we do as adults affects their lives as well.
Passion, intelligence, stamina and idealism are hallmarks of children/young adults as they mature and become aware of and embrace issues.

I think it's a good thing.

I loved all of the kkk, er, teabagger, kids with their hateful signs.

Seems like they all became right-wingers.

HOW RELEASE OF MENTAL PATIENTS BEGAN - NYTimes.com

In California, for example, the number of patients in state mental hospitals reached a peak of 37,500 in 1959 when Edmund G. Brown was Governor, fell to 22,000 when Ronald Reagan attained that office in 1967, and continued to decline under his administration and that of his successor, Edmund G. Brown Jr. The senior Mr. Brown now expresses regret about the way the policy started and ultimately evolved. ''They've gone far, too far, in letting people out,'' he said in an interview

The Girl Scout Promise

On my honor, I will try:
To serve God and my country,
To help people at all times,
And to live by the Girl Scout Law.

The Girl Scout Law

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
and to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Well, there you have it; the Girl Scouts are trying to help little girls and young women to be thoughtful, to develop character, to be independent
and involved in the world around them. Ghastly! It's more acceptable to let them grow up without principles and firmly under the thumb of men. It's easy to hate...you just dismiss any social restraints and revel in the joy of your superiority. It's much more difficult to learn tolerance, acceptance and how to go about helping to create a better world. This idiot in IN will hopefully be such a national embarrassment that Hoosiers send him home...and that no Girl Scout will ever sell Thin Mints to him. He isn't cookie-worthy.

Well, nuns have been traditionally well-trained, dominated by males and "kept in thier place" so they may not be targeted...

but Repugnants WILL target any other woman dominated group...like teachers....

Repugnants core values, as clearly shown by their line up of candidates is still, and will always be, all about white male domination....

I think quilters are next in line for attack by typical loonytunes repug politicians........

Oh, anyone want to buy some GS cookies?
When I was a leader we volunteered for many things including cleaning up streets when people can't seem to find trash cans, cleaning beaches, etc.

I think I have to go buy some more GS cookies.

I think the lunacy belongs to the republicans. Have you not been watching the debates?

Sentence 1:
It's more acceptable to let them grow up without principles and firmly under the thumb of men. It's easy to hate...you just dismiss any social restraints and revel in the joy of your superiority.

Sentence 2:
It's much more difficult to learn tolerance, acceptance and how to go about helping to create a better world.

Wow, the irony is thick.

IDK, nuns now wear street clothes so I think they will look into bringing it back to how it was as they seem to have to many rights.
