And we have to ponder just why it is the ACLU and homosexual community is just so darned anxious to require the Boy Scouts to let gays have overights with young boys.

Tammy Bruce addresses this matter in her book The Death of Right and Wrong.

Liberals couldn't defeat President Bush so they have to pick on someone smaller now.

ANOTHER reason why it's a good thing the grown-ups are in charge again in DC.

"W" needs to throw some weight behind the Scouts and out an end to these rediculous assaults on a fine organization.

I've used Scout-taught lessons my entire life and helped me with some basic skills as a single father. Cooking, sewing, first-aid, along with other helpfuls like knots, swimming, safety, the list goes on and on.

Voting against the resolution were Democratic Reps. John Dingell of Michigan, Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Lynn Woolsey of California.

These three clowns need to go.

A perfect example of why gay men should never be allowed within 10 miles of a Boy Scout troop happened here in Louisiana back in the late 70s. A man in his late 30s or early 40s know to his audience as "Mr. Wonder", hosted an afternoon TV kiddy show. He had also gotten invoved with the local Boy Scouts and was by himself taking small groups of them on weekend camping trips.

Well,lo and behold, some of these 9, 10 and 11 year olds started coming home after these weekends and reporting to their parents that Mr. Wonder was having some of these boys sleep in his sleeping bag with him and some had been fondled. You can only imagine the outcry in the community and the ferocity of the reactions some of the dads had. Some were personally out looking for him to inflict a little "southern justice" on him.

When the story broke, Mr.Wonder disappeared, literally. He vanished. Everybody, including law enforcement, believed he had left the country and high-tailed it to Brazil because there is no extradition agreement. But the reality is that he's never been seen again. There were stories for a few years that Interpol was after him but nothing ever came of it as far as I know.

The operative word here is "nonbinding" resolution. It would mean something if they did something. Pandering political opportunism unless there are tangible followthroughs.

I'm surprised Bagdad Jim McDermott was among those that voted against it.

But... only 391 voted for it, so maybe he wasn't there when they voted

said Hayworth, who was an Eagle Scout.

Once an Eagle Scout, always an Eagle Scout.
