This shit never gets old. The truth is that if you looked at your own party with as much scrutiny you'd probably be a Republican
President Barack Obama was forced to cancel the permit to construct the Keystone XL pipeline because the Republicans made him do it.
That's the explanation coming out of the White House this week -- Republicans played politics with the issue, and the president had no other choice, said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
"In terms of Keystone, as you all know, the history here is pretty clear," Carney told reporters Tuesday at his regular press briefing.
"And the fact is because Republicans decided to play political with Keystone, their action essentially forced the administration to deny the permit process because they insisted on a time frame in which it was impossible to completely approve the pipeline," Carney said.
Carney's assertion was challenged by ABC News' Jake Tapper, who questioned how Obama could claim to have an "all-of-the-above approach" to energy production if he "turned down" the pipeline permit. "And you blame the Republicans for making it political?" Tapper asked.
Carney's response: "But the president didn't turn down the Keystone pipeline. There was a process in place, with long precedent, run out of the State Department because of the issue of the pipeline crossing an international boundary, that required an amount of time for proper, for review, after an alternate route was deemed necessary through Nebraska at the request of the Republican governor of Nebraska and other stakeholders in Nebraska and the region that needed to play out, to be done appropriately. You can't review and approve a pipeline, the route for which doesn't even exist."
The pipeline has been reviewed and delayed by the Obama administration for three years to make sure it met environmental safety standards and was in the country's national interest. When the president tried to delay his final decision on the project for another year -- and after his re-election campaign -- Republicans forced the issue passing a law requiring that he make a decision before the end of February.
Obama, who has been under increasing pressure by the environmental community to stop the project, made his decision in January, and said "no." It is not in the country's best interest, it turns out, to construct a 1,700-mile pipeline from Canada to Texas to bring oil to the U.S. and create 20,000 jobs.
And besides, it's the Republicans' fault Obama had to say no.

She says the Girl Scouts partner with Planned Parenthood at ~0:30.
The GOPer is right. The Girl Scouts is not a wholesome organization. Look at this link and skip to the footnotes and their links. One of the footnoted articles cites a book in which Girl Scout staffers claim about a third of their paid staff is lesbian.
Do you want your daughter to have women like this as role models and caretakers?

These two things are in no way equivocal and its ignorant to put them together like this as if you're calling out a hypocrisy.
TSA scans invade privacy by violating your right to be protected from unwarranted search as an American.
The Ultrasound lets the mother know that she is about to - at the very least - stop a human life from beginning for no reason other than she's irresponsible and makes poor life choices.
Please, point out republican hypocrisy all day long - God knows both sides of the aisle need a good lambasting so that the american people can get out of this "my team vs your team" mentality we have - but make sure than when you do, your point is both valid and intelligent.

Posted this on the #metoo thread then saw there was a G/S thread already.
Either way, this is a serious problem and needs to be stopped. Poor girls being FORCED to hug their auntie and uncle.
Jokes aside, this has all the bearings of some kind of 1950s Maoist mass child indoctrination plot.
I had no idea the Girls Scouts had gotten so utterly crazy. I don't know how to embed the tweets from the article, but they are just as insane. No wonder nobody sends their kids to this anymore.
Girl Scouts: Your Daughter ‘Doesn’t Owe Anyone a Hug’ at Christmas
The Girl Scouts says parents could be giving their daughters the “wrong idea about consent and physical affection” during the holidays when they encourage hugging family members.
The organization is cautioning parents that suggesting to a child that she give a thank-you hug to a relative for a gift may plant the seed that she owes sexual favors later on in her life when someone takes her to dinner.
The group states:
Think of it this way, telling your child that she owes someone a hug either just because she hasn’t seen this person in a while or because they gave her a gift can set the stage for her questioning whether she “owes” another person any type of physical affection when they’ve bought her dinner or done something else seemingly nice for her later in life.
Dr. Andrea Bastiani Archibald, the Girl Scouts’ developmental psychologist, explains that lessons about physical boundaries learned while young will affect girls’ feelings about themselves later on in life.
“The notion of consent may seem very grown-up and like something that doesn’t pertain to children,” Archibald says. “Plus, sadly, we know that some adults prey on children, and teaching your daughter about consent early on can help her understand her rights, know when lines are being crossed, and when to go to you for help.”
The Girl Scouts advises parents to allow their daughters to take the lead in deciding if they want to hug family members. While the organization says it is not encouraging rudeness toward relatives, ultimately Girl Scout leaders are counseling parents to allow their children to make the choice.
The organization gives similar advice on how parents can handle the “sexist” attitudes and comments of relatives during the holidays.
Archibald explains:
[W]hile it might be best for one family to use a cringeworthy moment as an opportunity to teach kids about choosing our battles—always an important one—it might be important to another that they set an example for the younger people at the table by standing up to sexism and saying something.
For example, the girls’ organization says a family “can leave its mark in damaging ways” when the topic of discussion is girls’ and women’s bodies.
Girl Scouts recommends parents ask family members ahead of time not to make comments about eating or appearance since their daughter is “struggling with body image and food issues at the moment.”
Don't Like Your Daughter's Look? Get Over It
As your girl grows older, you'll likely have way bigger battles to face.
When young girls will be around family members who are known to make “sexist jokes or comments,” Girl Scouts recommends parents “consider talking to your kids about it ahead of time,” to help them come up with a strategy for how to handle the banter.
Archibald also suggests parents nicely let relatives know their sexist comments can be hurtful.
Surviving the Most Cringeworthy (and Sexist) Family Holiday Situations
Sometimes inappropriate comments can turn joy at being together to hurt feelings or anger. So should you let it slide and pass the sweet potatoes, or should you address inappropriate or sexist...
“Last we checked, boys and men were equally as capable as girls and women at clearing the table, putting away leftovers, and doing the dishes,” the organization states. “Yet in many homes, these more domestic chores are still relegated to female family members while the guys are invited to kick back and relax in front of the TV.”
“It’s totally possible to stay calm and respectful even while disagreeing with the gender roles set up by your host,” advises Archibald, adding:
If you choose to address the imbalance, you can mention that this is a perfect chance for the boys and girls to practice the skills they’ll need when they’re fending for themselves in a few years—plus, the job will get done a lot quicker and leave more time for relaxation if everyone pitches in.
The organization notes that if a parent receives pushback for pressing the gender issue, the option is open “to give in and then discuss your decision with your kids later, especially if you’re the guest in someone else’s home,” or assert oneself in order to “let the girls in the family know you see them and support them.”

Game is the difference between a broke average looking dude in a 2nd tier city turning bad bitch feminists into maids and fucktoys and a well to do lawyer with 50x the dough taking 3 dates to bang broads in philly.

This is another example of the Marxist left projecting their sexual deviance on to normal family relations. They see sexuality in everything, and like everything Marxist, they put a quantitative value on it, so a hug from an uncle turns into a bureaucratic checklist of transgressions and acceptable behavior to be ticked off with an end tally. This is the end game of all leftist regimes. Everyone policing each other and ratting each other out to the secret police that respond with state reeducation camps or death squads. Instead of relying on our gut instincts and teaching our children how to do the same, the state micromanages everyone.
A previous poster linked to a stat that says a third of all Girl Scout staff is lesbian. This is why the Girl Scouts is policing family interactions using "gender" as the divider at holiday meals and why they're sexualizing young girls. The majority of homosexuals are pedophiles and resentful of nuclear families. I would never let a homosexual touch my son nor would I let a homosexual around my son without my protective eye.
