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.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.
And I guess you think you've got it made
Oh, but then, you never were afraid
Of anything that you've left behind
Oh, but it's alright with me now
'Cause I'll get back up somehow
And with a little luck, yes, I'm bound to win

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
