Q: How about a merit badge in vegetarianism? A: Its out there. Its your choice. We raise a lot of vegetables down here in Texas. We like for people to eat vegetables. Where's the merit in that?
Q; And instead of a shotgun-shooting merit badge, how about a gun-control badge?
A: Now youve stepped across the line. Remember, you are talking to a Texan, you limp-wristed, loafer-wearing leftie moronic piece of media scum.

This book On My Honor has two other great things; a complete listing of college scholarships for eagle scouts and a neat website to lave your scouting stories. www.onmyhonorthebook.com

Speaking of fatherhood, Gov. Perry was in San Antonio signing copies of this book Tuesday.
It happens that Tuesday was my daughter’s birthday. I skipped the book signing to take my daughter out for dinner at one of her favorite restaurants.
Sometimes being a dad involves tough choices, but this was a no-brainer for me, even though I bought the book in advance and would have loved to thank Gov. Perry for writing it, and even though my daugher is a card-carrying Liberal who had just early-voted in the Democratic Primary that very day!

Vegetarian......Navajo for piss poor hunter !
Just my opinion of course but......show me a real true vegetarian and I will show you a grey pale unhealthy woman. Show me a male vegetarian and I will show ya a guy looking to get laid by a female vegetarian. Same guy that will sneak too the drive up at the local burger joint to and from home !
Perry’s interview is impressive regarding the BSA. I am an Eagle Scout as well, May of 70. Best thing that could have ever happened too me as a youngster. Skills taught, learned, experienced and observed carried me through life

You just know the guys at the NYT want to get out there camping with young boys ~ the interviewer self-identified his ambitions in that regard.
Perry should have cold-cocked the puke for trying to rope him into that sort of stuff.

The executives at the NYT are a bunch of homosexuals. The same is true of the magazine, Scientific American - homosexuals took it over and it’s now more of a LEFTIST propaganda rag.

Q: Its a shame the Scouts are alienating so many American kids when they could be a force for equality and civic unity. What about the Boy Scout merit badges? Do they ever update them?NYT self-parody alert.

. . . show me a real true vegetarian and I will show you a grey pale unhealthy woman. True story. When I was a kid back in the 60s, there was a family in our carpool who were sandal-wearing, shaggy-haired vegetarians. We didn't call 'em hippies, that term didn't really have currency yet, but they were scruffier than beatniks - and not as cool either.
Anyhow, they MADE their two kids (who were my age - early elementary school) be vegetarians too. Those were the sickliest, thinnest, palest kids you ever saw. Every bug going around school, they caught it and were sick for ages. They just hung around on the playground, didn't run and wrestle with everybody else.
Another kid in our carpool was our pediatrician's daughter. Pediatrician was a good friend of my parents, and he agonized with them over whether he should speak to the vegetarian loony-tunes about how they were ruining their children's health. Don't know what ever happened, that was above my pay grade.

Which has been fighting the A.C.L.U., to keep gays out of the scouts. Why do you see that as a worthy cause?
I was just looking at the hundred-plus merit badges online and was surprised that the Boy Scouts havent introduced more relevant projects than coin collecting.
I know they have a dog-care merit badge, but why not a child-care badge?
How about a merit badge in vegetarianism?
And instead of a shotgun-shooting merit badge, how about a gun-control badge?
What a repulsive loser.

Homosexuals LOVE innocene.
Just like heterosexual males - they too like INNOCENCE and “untouched females”. So homosexuals like “untouched males”. Some draw boundaries on age and some don’t. The same is true of heterosexual males. Homosexuals by percentage, have less problems raping or indulging with minors than heterosexual males - by percentage within their segment of the population.
