Field Guide to the American Whacko

[estragon]

Taking a leaf from the book of the Magliozzi Brothers, I offer a brief entry to the Field Guide to the American Whacko:

This is a brilliant Indiana State Legislator who claims (get this) the Girl Scouts promote Lesbianism and Communism.

I think Darkniciad is from Indiana. Dark, if you are, have you actually observed this clown in his native habitat?

 

[voluptuary_manque]

and I see that today he's defending that position. Lord have mercy . . .

 

[estragon]

The topper is the accusation that the Girl Scouts promote lesbianism and abortion. Now if a woman is a lesbian, and exclusively so, who gets her pregnant? Another woman? This dude is severely challenged.

 

[Tio_Narratore]

He's also pointed out that Michelle Obama is their honorary president, and believes this shows how depraved they are. Since the First Lady is always the honorary president of the Girl Scouts...What was Nancy up to, I wonder? Or maybe the corruption is the other way - they acclaim the First Lady as honorary president in an evil attempt to turn the White House into a communist lesbian bath house and abortion clinic. We should probably celebrate the bicentennial of the War of 1812 by inviting the British to re-enact the sacking of Washington and cleanse us of that lurid den of sedition...

Obviously this wack-job's never tasted Samoas, Tagalongs and Thin Mints.

I think I used to date two of those....

Uh, never mind.

Dear Reader

Just wanna clear up something. The Canadian Dollar (Loony) is named for ROB not a bird. He's an expert on Loons.

Dear Reader

Speaking of Whacko, how ya doing Jimmy?

 

[Boxlicker101]

This guy is truly a whacko. And I have to wonder how transgendered females can join because, to go through a sex change process, a person would have to be too old to become a girl scout.

He's left out Noam Chomsky.

 

[Handley_Page]

And I thought some of ours were a bit weird . . . .

 

[JackLuis]

The international view?

White Power USA
Is the US heading toward a future of racial tolerance or racially-motivated violence?

White Nationalists? How can you be a Nazi when Adolf is dead?

 

[Darkniciad]

Just now saw this ( I tend to avoid threads that look political when I hover over the link )

Never heard of him. Ft. Wayne is too far away to be relevant to me. It's hard enough keeping up with the people I actually have to vote for, let alone the people scattered across the rest of the state that I can't do anything about

Whakko loon, but no less whakko than the polar opposites on the other side who are always attacking the Boy Scouts.

Say the magic word and win a loony TEX.

There are a lot of American Whackos out there and this political season has brought them all out of the woodwork. When are people going learning that not everybody is a right wing Bible thumping anti-abortion fanatic (nor do we want to be) and we'd prefer to just live our lives in peace and and privacy, and would prefer to give others the same right. I thought that one of the good things about America was that, not withstanding breaking the law, we just want to live our lives the way we see fit as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else. Unfortunately a lot of people seem to see evil and subsersive plots around every corner.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Oh, they've always been around but the Internet has given them the capacity to get together and organize. Current trends indicate that their enthusiasm will be thoroughly quashed come November.

Transgendered people are born in one body but feel as if they should have been born in another. Transsexuals are people who take active steps towards becoming an opposite gender.

You can be transgender without a drop of hormones or a single surgery.

As for the article... is it really so surprising that an organization made up entirely of women might be inclined for letting women have rights over their own bodies? I agree that abortion is horrible, but sometimes there is no other choice. I want to have the government keep their filthy fingers out of what I can and can't do with my own body.

This reminds me of Rick Santorum. And what they are starting to call the sexual counter-revolution

There's a shop that sells sex? IN America? :O

I wonder if it is leather padded and has restraints.

There are many places that sell sex. Nice people call them brothels, but people like me call them whore houses or cat houses.

There are also D/s establishments, and they provide restraints and sometimes leather padding.

 

[emipet]

I know. I was just imagining a more Wal Mart or Target type store. Or maybe a little bodega with a kindly Abuela shopclerk....

 

[voluptuary_manque]

OMG, it's spreading!

OMG, it's spreading!

There are those who maintain that South Yorkshire is a closet "Peoples Republic"
