Girls Bad, Boys Good

The
Boy Scouts are constantly attacked these days by the ACLU and other radical
left institutions for standing by traditional standards of moral character,
like tying knots and helping elderly ladies to navigate their way across
busy boulevards. In the politically correct corners of America, wearing a
Boy Scout uniform is like wearing a Nazi brown shirt. Absurd, I say.
Everyone knows that Boy Scouts wear tan shirts. Actually more of a
dapple-sand shade, but definitely anything other than the umber-hazel tone
favored by Der Fuhrer.
In a
recent column for the highly influential Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star and
Herald, well-known media pundit Rick Mercier criticized President Bush for
having visited last month's patriotic Boy Scout Jamboree. He made a couple
of quotes which would grill your cheese if I were to reprint them. Believe
me, they would, but I refuse to give him the satisfaction. Other MSM outlets
like to compare the scouts to the Taliban or the KKK. It's true. Look it up.
One darling of the secular slime, M Hoback of Fried Green al-Qaedas, went so
far as to plant a fake story asserting that
Liza Minelli
was appearing at the Jamboree in the president's stead, a lie so
appalling that a team of psychologists had to be flown in to deal with the
resultant trauma.
While all of this is happening to our virtuous lads, the
Girl Scouts are not being even marginally
attacked. What the hell is going on? Is there a reason? Yes there is, and a
clue can be found in the very name of the organization. Girl. The
Girl Scouts are girls, and like girls in every
walk of American life, they are the epitome of institutional political
correctness. The epitome, the ultimate, highest, grandest, most
exaltedly profound living embodiment of all the dross that threatens to sink
our nation into the Sargasso Sea of history.
Next
month, the Girl Scouts USA national convention
will be held in Atlanta. Feh. Atlanta, the abortion capitol of the
uncivilized world. This event will be a gathering of radical feminists with
hairy armpits, ugly lesbians with tiny breasts, and rabid cookie peddlers
with an indecent agenda far removed from the popular image of cute little
Girl Scouts skipping merrily around the maypole
of morality.
Dr.
Johnnetta Cole is slated as a keynote speaker. Johnny, as she likes to be
called, is president of Bennett College for Girls (Ha! Never heard of the
place, but I'm willing to bet it's a great place to get a lap dance).
She's a professor of Girl's Studies, and Black's Studies and is so extreme
in her views that even Bill Clinton was forced to remove her from
consideration for appointment as Secretary of You-Know-What.
 Another
keynote speaker is Kavita Ramdas, president and CEO of the aggressively
pro-abortion Global Fund for Girls. Kavita Ramdas, huh? What the hell
sort of a name is that? Sure doesn't sound American to me, nope, doesn't
even sound European. What's this? A dot on her head? I thought she
was just careless with her makeup, but now that you mention it, I'm pretty
darn sure it's a dot.
As I
noted earlier, the Boy Scout motto celebrates all that is good and godly.
Let's contrast. The Girl Scouts have made "to
serve God" in the Girl Scout pledge optional in
deference to atheists. Optional! Just ponder that for a moment. Okay, that's
enough pondering. There's more outrage. They have removed "loyalty" from
their insipid little pledge in order to placate "liberated" girls. Oh no, we
don't want to talk about loyalty - it's a girl-eat-man world out there, and
we're sisters doing it for ourselves. How about the pledges of moral purity?
Hold on to your hats - it has been changed to a statement of self-esteem.
Self-esteem, that highest of liberal values, has replaced moral purity. I'll
tell you what, I bet there are plenty of skanky little Scoutmistresses who
are just tickled pink, if you know what I mean.
The
Girl Scouts' slide into political correctness is nothing new. It has become
clear that the Girl Scouts are allied
with the abortion industry, and even worse, Planned Parenthood. They are now
as much a part of the man-hating radical feminist movement as the National
Organization for Girls. There is no dignity or honor left intact when we
think of a Girl Scout, just another lost soul,
dreaming of an abortion they can call their own.
From
Eve to Jezebel, from Tokyo Rose to Hillary Clinton, rational men (and yes,
even some rational girls) have known that the female species, not money, is
the root of all evil. And so we shudder when we see the glorification of the
Girl Scouts transposed with the vilification of
the Boy Scouts. It is truly a nation turned on it's head, a society where
boys are bad and girls are good. Be very afraid.
