A couple thoughts:

As an Eagle Scout and a Catholic (my troop was sponsored by my church, but not financially supported) I wish the Catholic Church had stones like the scouts, we wouldn't have the problems that we currently do with child abuse;

Second, any day that the scouts want to go completely private I (and I'm sure many other former scouts) would be glad to direct to the scouts any and all charitable contributions that I currently make to other organizations.

As a boy, the scouts taught me self reliance, confidence, and consideration for others. I must have missed the merit badge on hating other people that these ACLU types are so worried about. What do they physically strong, mentally awake and MORALLY STRAIGHT means anyway?

You make several excellent points.

Regardless of the efforts of the liberal left, the BSA will not cave to the hate filled attacks disguised as diversity. The homosexuals and their allies hate the fact that we have a moral compass and live by our words.

They despise us for our religious convictions, and refuse to acknowledge that have more compassion and tolerance than they ever have.
