Jim Bob Duggar, known for fathering 19 children with his wife, Michelle, said he sides with a boycott of the Girl Scouts' famous cookie sale because one troop in Colorado allowed a 7-year-old transgender girl to become a scout.

While campaigning for presidential hopeful Rick Santorum in South Carolina, Duggar told  BuzzFeed, "Our family loves Girl Scout cookies, and I don't think allowing a boy in the Girl Scouts is a good thing." The 19 Kids and Counting star also said the founders of the century-old organization "would be truly upset to hear" that a Girl Scout troop in Colorado has opened its doors to a transgender scout.

That's good to know, duly noted. Did you say 19 children? 19? wtf?

Interesting how he could know that?

If he is basing it upon the attitudes of the day, I don't doubt those same founders would equally object of mixed race troops, or mixed class groups.

That's the point though. Attitudes reflect the day. Not the present.

I was thinking the same thing!

This person isn't actually important, just media important. Who cares what his opinion is?

Dugger rhymes with bugger    Jim Bob the Bugger don't wanna buy no Girl Scout cookies 

Sorry, I'm gonna hurt myself laughing

[Padma]

Careless rupture .

I'm more concerned that this man is an elected politician, presumably representing opinion.

It took me a while to find out about Mr. Duggar and his TV show "19 Kids and Counting".  I have no TV and I don't care for one, I must be really out of it.  Evidently the Arkansans didn't care much for him as a state representive and did not elect him for the state senate seat.  This guy is a real conformist, with each of his 19 kids' names starting with the letter "J"?  Give me a break! 
  My mom was the one who told my fifth grade teacher that she does not raise "Rubber stamp children"!  Buy more cookies!

Jim Bob Duggar, Star Of TLC's '19 Kids And Counting,' Sounds Off On Transgender Girl Scout Controversy

Jim Bob Duggar, star of TLC's hit reality TV show "19 Kids And Counting," is sounding off on the Girl Scouts' transgender controversy.

[...]

Duggar, speaking with Buzzfeed while on the road campaigning for Rick Santorum, said: "Our family loves Girl Scout cookies and I don't think allowing a boy in the Girl Scouts is a good thing."

He continued:

    "I think the founders of the Girl Scouts would be truly upset to hear this direction. If they're wanting to create a new scout program where girls and boys would join together, that might be an option. But whether somebody declares they're a boy or girl and can join either one -- it isn't even logical and it goes against the core principles the group was founded on."
