Is Obama Creating a Pro-Gay Boy Scouts of America? (Flashback)
http://www.ammoland.com ^ | June 26, 2012 | By Chuck Norris

Dallas, TX - -(Ammoland.com)- A Boy Scouts of America national board member, James Turley, who is also global chairman and CEO of the accounting firm Ernst & Young, recently said he “will work from within to seek a change” to overturn the BSA policy that bans gay Scouts and leaders.

But is Turley working on his own initiative, or has the White House prodded him with perks and favors?

Is it a coincidence that Turley came out swinging against the BSA’s century-old policy to ban gays from leadership and that he has such close affiliations with the pro-gay Obama administration?

Is it a coincidence that Turley and his wife, Lynne, were just guests at a state dinner hosted by President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama in honor of British Prime Minister David Cameron at the White House on March 14?

Is it a coincidence that Turley was nominated to President Obama’s Export Council in 2010?

Is it a coincidence Turley was granted a seat on an investment advisory panel that met with none other than Vladimir Putin in Moscow in October?

Is it a coincidence that Turley has been a global cheerleader for Obama’s economic strategies and an economic ambassador of sorts to other mogul business leaders, as is clearly seen in his Bloomberg interview from the 2011 economic summit in Davos, Switzerland?

Is it a coincidence that Michael Mundaca, who was the assistant secretary of the treasury for tax policy from 2009 to 2011 and advised Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on all matters relating to taxation, recently joined the team of Ernst & Young?Is it a coincidence that, as the White House website explained, “Ernst & Young LLP will honor (the Obama administration’s Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship’s) youth entrepreneurs at regional Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year Award galas across the country, bringing important attention to the next generation of young entrepreneurs”?

Is it a coincidence that a couple of months ago, Obama reversed his position on marriage, extending the union to gay couples, and that Turley just came out of the closet in his position against the BSA’s position?

Is it a coincidence that in the same few weeks when Turley turned on the BSA with his pro-gay stance, Obama turned on the U.S. military and sent down a decree that the service branches must celebrate “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month”?

Is it a coincidence that Turley is in tight cahoots with the White House and that he is the only BSA national board member in 100 years to oppose its pro-traditional family stance?

Is it a coincidence that Turley just announced his resignation as CEO of Ernst & Young (effective June 2013) and that he now is offering the White House a parting pro-gay BSA gift in gratitude for all its presidential favors to him and Ernst & Young over the past few years?

These Turley-Obama cords, connections and correlations are only the tip of the iceberg.

Is it a coincidence, too, that on March 3, 2009, Obama became the honorary president of the BSA — a position proudly and publicly held and highlighted by all presidents since President William Howard Taft in 1910 — but that Obama’s induction was held behind closed doors in the Oval Office with seven or so Boy Scouts present and absolutely nothing noted in the White House daily briefing or any other official communication?

Is it a coincidence that Obama was unable to attend the 100th anniversary gala of the Boy Scouts of America in his own backyard (Washington, D.C.) Feb. 9, 2010, because he had to hold his first national news conference?

Is it a coincidence that as the honorary BSA president and a “constitutional lawyer,” Obama hasn’t had one minute in his schedule over the past years to defend or say anything about the series of lawsuits that have been levied against the BSA because of its First Amendment rights to stand against atheists, agnostics and homosexuals?

It is a coincidence that Obama will stand up repeatedly for the children of illegal immigrants (and grant them amnesty and taxpayer money) but that he will not once stand up for children in the BSA and the organization’s rights and freedoms to hold their own core values and beliefs?

For years, I’ve signed and sent out hundreds of Eagle Scout recognition letters. And I personally have known a host of Boy Scouts, Eagle Scouts and BSA leaders. These individuals epitomize the best of America. Indeed, the BSA is as integral a part of American life and culture as hot dogs, baseball and Grandma’s apple pie.

Even President John F. Kennedy proudly proclaimed at the 50th anniversary celebration of the BSA: “For more than 50 years, Scouting has played an important part in the lives of the Boy Scouts of this nation. It has helped to mold character, to form friendships, to provide a worthwhile outlet for the natural energies of growing boys and to train these boys to become good citizens of the future. In a very real sense, the principles learned and practiced as Boy Scouts add to the strength of America and her ideals.”

Hasn’t America reached a new low in its history when its president (and the honorary president of the BSA!) distances himself and his administration from the Boy Scouts of America yet invites groups such as the Secular Student Alliance to participate in its faith and college missions?

I’ll ask once more: Is it a coincidence that BSA national board member James Turley came out swinging against the BSA’s century-old policy to ban gays from leadership and that he has such close affiliations with the pro-gay Obama administration?

How does the adage go?

If two people think so much alike, you can bet that one person isn’t thinking. Or maybe a more fitting adage here might be this: You scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours.

Building up the next generation is not only why I fully support the Boy Scouts of America but also why I started my own nonprofit organization, KickStartKids. My wife, Gena, and I consider it one of the greatest missions of our lives.

From 'Communist Goals':

Got a bunch of folks to send mail yesterday and I’ll be sending calls to them later today so thank you. This is an outrage , the homosexual lunatics think that because they like feces and anal sex then they should push their way of life onto every aspect of this country. They could have gone elsewhere to buy a child instead if catholic charties but they did not , they could set up their queer boy so called scouts but they do nit , they could live with each other and get a lawyer for their retirment inheritence hospital visits but instead they go to te church and infiltrate them .

The biggest question is where the he’ll is our so called conservative talkm show hosts . Where are our those on our side except the family research council? Our side was infiltrated or our side became cowards on social issues infact just where the f are our frigging side who has a public voice . People like hannity and all the others ?
This agenda could have been stopped years ago but alas our side stayed silent our side could show their parades on tv , show how they go after business , store owners , attack little old ladies show them how they bully people and use their Nazi tactics.
Our side could mention thr diseases their sex at bathrooms dog parks etc but yet again our side witha voice stayed silent because they’re cowards so if any of our side is out there Reading this or have people Reading this as part of their job.
Shame on you , the majority of people around in this country would like to have kids grow up as other older peorple did they would like to know their kids are nit being pushed this crap it’s nit in schools it’s not in our faces all the time
yes shame on you cowards and people like hannity rush and all the others shame on not exposing these bullies and corruption

My take is parents will have to take their own kids scouting. They can’t do squat about that. Lots of us grew up without being in the boy or girl scouts. I can navigate and live outdoors with the best of them.

I think if we go back to the family type of atmosphere the deviants will have no way to attack this. Organizations, clubs, etc, anything that requires membership, are too big of a target for them.

They will use the laws in their favor.

For many more years than I can count I’ve regularly listened to Rush every time I could. Not so since the election. In all that tine I’ve listened to him for maybe a total of two hours. All he’s had to peddle is gloom and doom and that gets me even more depressed than otherwise, so I’ve suspended listening to him.

I would have to agree. A more decentralized form of the Boy Scouts would make it much more difficult for the Leftists to attack.

This is simply one more attempt by the coprophiles (ie male homos) to take control of another boy’s organization. From ancient times their obsession drives them seek other people’s young boys. It is part and parcel to the so-called gay lifestyle. Look it up. This is nothing new but a repeat of Sodom, Gomorrah, and Ancient Rome.

Rush should be talking doom and gloom, we aren't talking about homosexuals and the Boy Scouts because our idea's are winning, they are not we are in the process of losing. The time for fixing societal problems through the normal system (such as voting) have past, the best we can do there is slow them down. Whether Obama won through vote fraud or because he has bought enough voters should prove that voting them out isn't going to work anymore. Rush isn't as doom and gloom as he should be, he still for the most part thinks that we can fix the system be electing the “right people”

He’s just creating the new BSA - the Brown-shirted SA!

He has specifically said that he wants a “Civilian National Security Force.” Who better than the new BSA!

More militant than ever and looking even for fabulous!

In the case of BSA, help it operate independently of the financial manipulation. BSA would need to specify what that entails.

If the BSA goes homosexual it will receive all the funding it needs. It’ll probably end up on the government dole, too!

Great article and I did contact Scouts. It looks like a done deal. We’re really up against it and from within. It’s the same treachery over and over again.
