Cruz-Aligned Pastor: Execute Girl Scout Leaders For 'Promoting Homosexuality'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 3/14/2016 12:30 pm

Kevin Swanson, the pastor courted by Ted Cruz who has repeatedly called for the execution of gay people, including just minutes before speaking with Cruz at an event last November in Iowa, dedicated a radio program last week to attacking the Girl Scouts for supporting women’s and LGBT rights, saying that the group’s leaders are worthy of death. Swanson, who has spent years calling for a boycott of Girl Scouts cookies and accusing the organization of promoting communism and turning girls into lesbians, said that Girl Scouts leaders have violated Jesus’ teaching that it would be better for someone to have a millstone hung around their neck and thrown into the sea rather than cause a child to sin. This instruction, Swanson said, should be applied literally. After criticizing the Girl Scouts because it “promotes lesbianism” and movies like “Harry Potter” and “How To Train Your Dragon” for featuring “homosexual mentors provided to little boys” — a criticism he detailed at the rally with Cruz — Swanson said that people must put into effect Jesus’ teaching against debasing children with such “movies that promote homosexuality or organizations that promote homosexuality.”

My son and I went out to eat breakfast yesterday and stopped at a local Rutters for my ecig supplies and the Girl Scouts were there selling cookies. After I came out of the store I decided to support the Girl Scouts and went over and bought a box of thin mints (I wish I could eat gluten but I can't so I gave that box to my son)...I told the girls I couldn't eat the cookies but would give them away and asked what their favorite cookie was...Tagalogs they all said so I bought a box of those too. After I paid I placed the box of Tagalogs in front of the girls and said I hope they enjoy them and to keep up the good work. Love the Girl Scouts!

They went wild..the leader said that had NEVER happened before...imagine that!

It's frightening to live in a country that attacks little girls organizations and their leaders because of crazy religious beliefs. WTF!?
