Berkeley California, wish it could be plucked up and dropped and added to the shore of Cuba
Let's hope they win! Berkeley is such a rotten liberal *&^%hole, and like all liberal-run cities, takes out their twisted frustrations on little kids' organizations who don't like queers.
Lets hope the US Supreme Court show more commonsense that the California Supremes.
To allow homosexuals to be counsilors to young boys is just plain nuts and invites sexual affairs with the kids. Of course ebtry into the boy scouts is a homosexual pedophiles dream and it would seem Berkely is all for it.
It's so much better for these kids to roam the streets and get into trouble. [/sarcasm]
Beserkeley won't tolerate people who are trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
Soon to be another win in the Scout Column.
The Dale case upheld, but only by a 5-4 vote, that the Scouts had a First Amendment right, "freedom of association," not to allow homosexuals to be adult leaders.

Who were the justices on each side? Any possibility of a change to 6-3 (e.g. O'Connor)?
Sea Scouts are a great group. If you have preteen-teens who like sailing and/or would like to learn seamanship I strongly advise you sign them up for sea scouts. Have fun and piss off a liberal. What more could anyone ask for?
Bezerkely being well......BEZERKELY.
Pacific Legal Foundation announced today that it has appealed to the United States Supreme Court to review and reverse the California Supreme Court’s decision allowing the City of Berkeley to discriminate against the Berkeley Sea Scouts, because of their affiliation with the Boy Scouts of America.
<< What's the bag limit on Berkley city officials? >>
I hear it's Open Season.
How many times do the Scouts have to take this SAME ISSUE to the SC???
Go Congressman BillyBob!!!
The city of Berkeley has a decades-long history of social activism which simply gets worse with time. The late SF Chron columnist Herb Caen, no conservative he, made Berkeley a national laughingstock in the early '70s when he reported the city council had on its meeting agenda a plan to allocate a certain percentage of spaces in the city marina to "low income boat owners." Berkeley and San Francisco are socalist petri dishes for the rest of the nation to observe.
Venturing is one of the BSA's "traditional" programs. There is a Venturing Oath:
As a Venturer, I promise to do my duty to God and help strengthen America, to help others, and to seek truth, fairness, and adventure in our world.
And a code:
As a Venturer, I believe that America's strength lies in our trust in God and in the courage, strength, and traditions of our people.
I will, therefore, be faithful in my religious duties and will maintain a personal sense of honor in my own life.
I will treasure my American heritage and will do all I can to preserve and enrich it.
I will recognize the dignity and worth of all humanity and will use fair play and goodwill in my daily life.
I will acquire the Venturing attitude that seeks truth in all things and adventure on the frontiers of our changing world
Venturing has the same membership standards as the Cub Scouts and the Boy Scouts (except for the membership ages and the fact that Venturing is co-ed). If you would like to know more about Venturing, and see if there is a Ship or Crew in your area, start here
