If gas hits 5.00 bucks, stick a fork in Maine. Their won't be a spare nickle for most folks to spend on anything but groceries and gas. The economy hits the ****ter once again and it won't matter who the other candidate is. I realize Maine isn't the key to Obamas reelection but I doubt Maine is the only state that folds up as a result of 5 dollar gas.

Nothing like hyperbole.

Another thing to watch is that consumers feel a lot more empowered now after the Occupy movement. Look what happened with the Move Your Money day and the Netflix shenanigans.

If gas hits $4.25 or so people will start getting all 99 percent-y, and interesting things might happen.

Gotta love it. Now the GOP is after the Girl Scouts!

Seriously, just when you thought knuckledraggers couldn't get any more nuts! In my best Cokie Roberts voice, I think this issue could really end up helping the Republicans...

I honestly thought this was a parody:

Verbatim text of letter from Indiana state Rep. Bob Morris, R-Fort Wayne, to fellow lawmakers.

February 18, 2012

Members of the Republic Caucus

Dear Fellow Representatives:

This past week I was asked to sign a House Resolution recognizing the 100th Anniversary of Girl Scouts of America. After talking to some well-informed constituents, I did a small amount of web-based research, and what I found is disturbing. The Girl Scouts of America and their worldwide partner, World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS), have entered into a close strategic affiliation with Planned Parenthood. You will not find evidence of this on the GSA/WAGGGS website—in fact, the websites of these two organizations explicitly deny funding Planned Parenthood.

Nonetheless, abundant evidence proves that the agenda of Planned Parenthood includes sexualizing young girls through the Girl Scouts, which is quickly becoming a tactical arm of Planned Parenthood. Planned Parenthood instructional series and pamphlets are part of the core curriculum at GSA training seminars. Denver Auxiliary Bishop James D. Conley of Denver last year warned parents that "membership in the Girl Scouts could carry the danger of making their daughters more receptive to the pro-abortion agenda."

A Girl Scouts of America training program last year used the Planned Parenthood sex education pamphlet "Happy, Healthy, and Hot." The pamphlet instructs young girls not to think of sex as "just about vaginal or anal intercourse." "There is no right or wrong way to have sex. Just have fun, explore and be yourself!" it states. Although individual Girl Scout troops are not forced to follow this curriculum, many do. Liberal progressive troop-leaders will indoctrinate the girls in their troop according to the principles of Planned Parenthood, making Bishop Conley's warning true.

Many parents are abandoning the Girl Scouts because they promote homosexual lifestyles. In fact, the Girl Scouts education seminar girls are directed to study the example of role models. Of the fifty role models listed, only three have a briefly-mentioned religious background – all the rest are feminists, lesbians, or Communists. World Net Daily, in a May 2009 article, states that Girl Scout Troops are no longer allowed to pray or sing traditional Christmas Carols.

Boys who decide to claim a "transgender" or cross-dressing life-style are permitted to become a member of a Girl Scout troop, performing crafts with the girls and participate in overnight and camping activities – just like any real girl. The fact that the Honorary President of Girl Scouts of America is Michelle Obama, and the Obama's are radically pro-abortion and vigorously support the agenda of Planned Parenthood, should give each of us reason to pause before our individual or collective endorsement of the organization.

As members of the Indiana House of Representatives, we must be wise before we use the credibility and respect of the "Peoples' House" to extend legitimacy to a radicalized organization. The Girl Scouts of America stand in a strong tradition that reflects with fidelity the traditional values of our homes and our families. The tradition extends from coast-to-coast and back through the past one hundred years. That said, 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.

I have two daughters who have been active in the Girl Scouts of Limberlost Council in Northeastern Indiana. Now that I am aware of the influence of Planned Parenthood within GSA and other surprisingly radical policies of GSA, my two daughters will instead become active in American Heritage Girls Little Flowers organization. In this traditional group they will learn about values and principles that will not confuse their conservative Hoosier upbringing.

I have been told that, as of today, I am the only member not supporting the Girl Scout Resolution.

I challenge each of you to examine these matters and to decide carefully whether or not to sign the resolution.

Respectfully,

Bob Morris

What kind of parent is he that his girls were being indoctrinated and he didn't know it? I can't imagine what type of emotional energy it must burn to be that paranoid about the world all the time. Sadly it used to be that these folks were on the fringes of society where they were pitied for their messed up views. Now they are front and center and elected :eek:

It makes one wonder if he bothered asking his daughters if they'd ever gotten any material that came from (or may have come from) those radicals at Planned Parenthood. You know, well over 90% of what they do is abortions.

Santorum now has invoked Godwin's Law.


http://www.thegrio.com/politics/santorum-denies-comparing-obama-to-hitler.php

"Remember, the greatest generation for a year and a half sat on the sidelines while Europe was under darkness," Santorum said on Sunday at a megachurch in Georgia. "We're a hopeful people. We think, 'Well, you know, it'll get better. Yeah, he's a nice guy. I mean, it won't be near as bad as what we think. This will be okay. I mean, yeah, maybe he's not the best guy after a while, after a while you find out some things about this guy over in Europe who's not so good of a guy after all...'"

Isn't this an old fight from a few years ago? I was pretty sure this battle has been fought before.
...Or maybe I'm thinking of the anus-invading boy scout troop leaders and their socialist funding?
