Girl Scouts Cave To The Mob
Looks like it’s time for the Girl Scouts to add a few new merit badges.
Yep, in addition to the ever-popular Good Sportsmanship, Junior First Aid, Babysitter, Trailblazer and Archery badges, the 109-year-old organization needs a new one:
The Caving to the Mob Badge.
The Political Correctness Badge.
The Conservative Women Don’t Count Badge.
Perhaps you heard. On Wednesday, the official Twitter feed of Girl Scouts USA designed a striking graphic featuring the faces of all five of the Supreme Court’s female members on a green background.
“Congratulations Amy Coney Barrett on becoming the 5th woman appointed to the Supreme Court since its inception in 1789” (clapping hands icon)
A lovely gesture. Girl Scouts have always celebrated accomplished women and urged girls to believe in themselves.
But no sooner had the congratulatory Tweet posted than a seething mob of torch-waving leftists came after the organization. They raged. They screeched. These bullying banshees threatened Thin Mint boycotts.
Even more revolting than unhinged liberals who slandered Amy Coney Barrett was the reaction of the Girl Scout organization itself.
They took down the Tweet. And apologized for it.
Excuse my language, but I’m calling b.s. on this “nonpolitical, nonpartisan” garbage.
This is the epitome of hypocrisy from an organization that instituted a Ruth Bader Ginsburg “I Dissent” patch and that Tweeted out encouragement to Hillary Clinton three years ago.
Look, I was a Girl Scout. I loved my years wearing Girl Scout green. In our troop, we learned about the value of friendship, loyalty, love of country and the multitude of ways that uncooked macaroni and coffee cans could be used in crafts. We sold cookies. We marched in parades. And summers, at Camp Wanda, we learned outdoor skills, campfire songs and how to comfort pals who were homesick.
I don’t remember politics ever being a part of the Girl Scout experience.
But this is where we are as a country. Applauding a brilliant woman who was elevated to the Supreme Count triggered the cancel culture clowns and forced the spineless Girl Scouts to bow down at the altar of liberalism.
I wish I could find my faded Girl Scout sash with its clumsily sewn-on badges. I’d send it back to this confederacy of cowards.
