They Don't Ask For Much... Just For Your Children

At what point does it stop being "teen outreach" and start being "a creepy need to indoctrinate other people's kids"?

Dawn Eden notes that the "non-partisan" Planned Parenthood has apparently given up on trying to persuade minds-made-up adults and is now going after much more moldable younger minds:

At 14, Sandy Milice has more experience with activism than many adults. This summer, she registered voters door-to-door and protested a visit by President Bush....

"Our goal is to foster healthy, responsible youth," said Alesha Smith, director of education and public affairs for Planned Parenthood of South Palm Beach and Broward counties. "They learned about being informed and the importance of informing others."

Children? In political "clubs"? "Informing"? Eeesh.

When a fourteen year old knocks on my door, I may or may not be willing to purchase cookies or magazines. I don't know if I'm ready to engage our nation's "healthy, responsible youth" on the abortion question.

See, the trouble is, they're children. Idiots, in other words.

No offense to my extensive "tweens" readership.

Thanks to the recently-relocated Alarming News.

My wife got a call from some Kerry group this weekend. Turned out the caller (who berated her about her support for Bush and explained why he was voting for Kerry) was 13 years old.

This doesn't surprise me.
One could look back to the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution in China (1966-1976) to see similar tactics. Get a whole new generation of Cadres to do your dirty work for you!

OH my ... I think I would just start laughing at a 13 y/o that tried to tell me who to vote for. Of course, that might hurt their feelings, and wouldn't I get in trouble for that? Aren't we trying to protect the fragile egos of our young? My oldest is only 10, and just parrots what I tell him ... when he starts discussing politics with others, I kinda hang my head in shame - as if I've been caught brainwashing him or something. Until someone is ... oh - out of college (if they go), live on their own, paying their bills, going to work - I could CARE LESS what their political opinion is. They are living in a bubble.

Planned Parenthood is a racist, socialist organization. I've forgotten where I read it but, sheesh, they're for more than baby killing. Check it out for yourself.

The San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice is engaged in a campaign to leaflet our schools and recruit as many teens as possible. I've contacted a couple of the schools to ask if they're allowing these people on to school grounds. I also asked if they knew who these people were, if they'd checked their backgrounds, and if they were allowing materials containing opposing views to those of SDCPJ to be distributed. Their answer? "Can we call you back?"

Until I KNOW, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these people aren't pedophiles or sex offenders of any ilk...I don't want them hanging out at local schools. Actually, I don't want them there at all, but that's not my call.

Sure, I don't like their message, they are free to share it with others in this country. But, if they get the chance, I want the chance to offer up the balance to those views. It's only fair.

Still, I'd really prefer it not happen on school grounds. I prefer to stick with those who can legally vote.

As a quick aside, San Diego Activist offers a manual on how to properly leaflet the schools...and then, for the kids who've been recruited, they offer up suggestions on how to host parties so that the kids can recruit some more.

Precious, ain't it?

Ah, shades of the Hitler youth. Charming.

For some reason I thought it was illegal for kids to be on some of these political things, like vote registration drives? Yes, no? They can't donate, I know.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
spidermanthreatormenace.jpg

That was written by Denny O'Neill and illustrated by, get this, Frank Miller. Editor to the Stars Jim Shooter was in charge at the time.
I always thought the gag was original to the comic book, but in fact the "Threat or Menace" headline was a satirical joke about media bias and sensationalism for a long while. The Harvard Lampoon used it in a parody of Life magazine: "Flying Saucers: Threat or Menace?"
