Okay, I'm telling you something right freaking now. If I EVER, EVER go into Publix and out front are a bunch of abaya-wearing girl scouts wanting to sell me cookies, I will listen closely for the music, because I know for sure I will have entered......

The Twilight Zone

Do doo do doo, do doo do doo....

Is it true Girl Scout cookies are made from real Girl Scouts?

Yet, there is no mention of God in the GS pledge. They dropped that years ago and embrace lesbianism and other liberal "causes".

“We felt it's important girls can substitute the word 'God' with whatever is comfortable to them or their families,” Girl Scouts spokeswoman Marion Swan said. “We are very proud of the fact we are a very inclusive organization.”

Girl Scouts went downhill during the short time my kids were involved 15/20 years ago. They hated it and got out. In the nick of time, I guess.

Together, they sang “It's a Small World”

It's a Small World
And now we've got some nukes
Your borders, they are porous
We can take out San Diego anyt-i-i-ime!

One in four Americans associates Islam with hatred and violence

And the other three quarters just aren't paying attention

On the surface, it looks OK, but the GSA is known for generally left-wing ideas, so I'm morally certain this isn't about just letting muslim girls participate. They have an agenda.

But it's also one of the least understood religions, according to a poll conducted by the Council on American-Islamic Relations in 2005. One in four Americans associates Islam with hatred and violence, and almost 60 percent say they know little or nothing about Islam.

Sounds like 25% have a pretty good understanding actually...

They are only made from INFIDEL Girl Scouts.

from the official Girl Scout site: http://www.girlscouts.org/program/gs_central/promise_law/

The Girl Scout Promise DOES contain God, while the Law does not. As for the liberal causes, well, yeah. But there are strong pockets of resistance to that within the organization. As a former staff member of our local Council, I can personally vouch for the resistance!

Girl Scout Promise and Law

The Girl Scout Promise and Law are shared by every member of Girl Scouting. The Girl Scout Promise is the way Girl Scouts agree to act every day toward one another and other people, and the Law outlines a way to act towards one another and the world.

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.

* The word "God" can be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on one's spiritual beliefs. When reciting the Girl Scout Promise, it is okay to replace the word "God" with whatever word your spiritual beliefs dictate.

How about replacing it with the word "Satan?" I guess that the Scouts would be okay with that, huh?

As they say, everything I needed to learn about Islam, I learned on 9/11.

"Together, they sang “It's a Small World” and recited the Girl Scout Promise. Later they visited one another's booths and sampled ethnic food. Some had their names written in Arabic and got their hands painted with intricate henna designs."

Was someone passing out the Kool-Aid before this occurred?

I'm surprised they didn't get out the cans of Coca-Cola and sing "I'd Like To Teach The World To Sing In Perfect Harmony."

In the future I will not be surprised if a Jihadi Boy Scout goes to "help" an infidel elderly woman cross the street and either blows himself up, stabs her, or shoots her. That's called service with an "Allah Hu Akhbar!".

Pretty soon the Jihadi Girl Scout troops will be doing jihad against infidel Girl Scout troops.

How will the media spin the story with their expertise in propaganda dissemination? Any one care to comment on a future headline?

Does this mean that Girl Scout cookie sales will now be used to fund terrorism?

Bwah! It might be fun to watch someone try that. Just to watch the national staff spin that out. The staff at GSA in New York City are very out of touch with local councils and their service units. Don't judge your local girls and leaders by the very PC positions that are taken by the GSA in NYC.
