Kevin Swanson, a pastor and host of the Christian radio show “Generations,” went on a diatribe Monday blasting the Girl Scouts of the United States of America as an instrument of feminism and “antithetical to a biblical vision for womanhood.” He added that buying Girl Scout cookies is tantamount to supporting Planned Parenthood, abortion and lesbianism:
“The individualism of feminism has been devastating to this country. I’d say you ought to say no the Girl Scout cookies too. I don’t want to support lesbianism, I don’t want to support Planned Parenthood and I don’t want to support abortion, and if that be the case I’m not buying Girl Scout Cookies.”
After begging his listeners not to buy the famously tasty treats, Swanson went on to concede that it might be acceptable to do so as long as you take a black magic marker and crossed out all the Girl Scout references on the box. He cautioned, however, that promoting an organization that empowers women to think for themselves is a quickest way to ensure that -- you guessed it -- Communists will seize control of the U.S. government.
“I think we understand why Barack Obama is president of the United States. He is incredibly popular with single women, incredibly popular. In fact, if you want a Communist in the White House in the year 2020, you have got to get more daughters raised with the worldview, the independent mindset, the worldview that is presented by the Girl Scouts of America.”
Do these guys (and sometimes their women) ever say things that sound familiar and make you think of another religious group? I read/hear this stuff and I have to laugh.
