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.

What is the UK Regime's plan for protecting the citizens from the savage criminals they've foisted on the populace? They offer NONE. They do, however, have a plan for protecting the savage criminals from the citizens: The citizens must STAY CALM and not get angry and not share videos of citizens being attacked by savage criminals.
The public keeps saying "protect us from the foreign savages you have imported against our wishes and over our objections" and the UK branch of The Regime keeps proposing plans to protect the foreign savages from the public. Soclose to what the public is demanding, just, you know, the complete opposite.
Just a thought: Maybe you wouldn't have to worry about the public attacking the savage criminals if you actually introduced a plan to protect the public from the savage criminals. Maybe they wouldn't feel as if it was necessary for them to protect the public through self-help.

Oof. Reviewers do not like Scary Movie 6. The criticism I keep hearing is that the movie mistakes a reference for an actual joke. The movie (they say) keeps Key Jangling a reference to another movie (or some other pop culture ephemera) and you expect there to be a joke but nope, the Key Jangle was the joke. Other reviewers say that the promise that "no lines will be uncrossed" is a fake-out, and that the movie is bland and inoffensively corporate.
Whoops! I posted about Dan Goldman losing the NY congressional primary. He might do that, but it won't be tonight -- the primary isn't held until June 23.
One race to keep an eye on: the Levi's heir nepo baby and egregious "Designated Liar" Dan Goldman -- one of the Democrats from a safe district Democrats send out to spread their most indefensible lies -- may actually lose his lower Manhattan/Brooklyn set due to, get this, antisemitism in the Democrat primary electorate.
Antisemitism? In the anti-Nazi Democrat Party? Sounds crazy, I know, but apparently the anti-Nazi Party wants to eliminate Jews.

Democrat Senator Rueben Gallego, who served his wife with divorce papers when she was nine months pregnant so that he could marry his side-piece, counsels us that we should not judge Graham Platner for his infidelity because these things are personal matters, Racists:

Sahil Kapur
@sahilkapur

Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., on Platner: "We know that Graham has lived not your typical political experience. He's been very clear and open with his wife, and they worked through whatever they worked through. At the end of the day, this man has had 60 more town halls than Susan Collins has. He's winning the polls, he's willing to accept that he has grown as a person, and I think we should accept that."

Gallego says the drip-drip of revelations won't harm Platner's campaign.

"I think you guys are all in a bubble here right now. The drip, drip that's actually happening is Americans are really, really hurt the fact that gas is still high, food is still high, they can't buy a home, you can't afford rent. They're not going to care about text messages and everything else like that that happened years ago, especially when it was worked out between spouses."

I like that he says that it's okay that Graham Platner sexted 12 different women within months of marrying the woman to sponge off her because he wasn't then "living a political life" -- the clear meaning being, "We all cheat, we just don't cheat when we're running for office, and he didn't know he was running for office when he was sending dicpics to half the women he ran into."
Except he was running: His own wife turned the sexts over to his campaign.
And obviously Reuben Gallego didn't let his "political life" get in the way of his extramarital dating life:
