I'm a former Boy Scout. I'm disgusted. Apparently the Boy Scouts are harassed when they don't permit homosexuals as adult leaders, yet they are harassed when homosexual child abuse is revealed.
Yeah. Better protect the perverts!
Clearly, the real goal is the destruction of the Boy Scouts of America. They are an icon of everything the Left hates. They have a clear, defined moral code. They teach children something other than collectivist propaganda. They're successful at what they do, and they're popular.
The very term "Boy Scout" implies integrity, honesty and selfless service to God and country. If there are principles that the Left hates more thoroughly than those, I am unaware of them.
They want to destroy the organization, from within and without. Period.
This Phelps fellow would have been a scoutmaster at 18...that's pretty unusual.
The very same evil lawyers suing the Boy Scouts for refusing to allow open NAMBLA homosexuals as scoutmasters.
Youth Boy Scouts can become adult leaders when they turn 18. Many do this and become Assistant Scoutmasters.
I'm sure there's some lawyers doing it just for the money.
Unless those cases went to court, they are only allegations. An accusation isn't the same as a guilty verdict. We have no idea what's in those files.
That pretty much sums it up.
This would be a good time for the Boy Scouts to publicly state that, in spite of their best efforts, occasionally a faggot slips through, and this is why they do not allow KNOWN faggots to join their organization. Now, since they have reasonable cause to suspect the sex deviates' activity that will occur if they are allowed to join, they have legitimized their position, and a reasonable court could find that the ACLU/NAMBLA/Faggots-R-Us/etc. do NOT have to be allowed to join, and it is NON-DISCRIMINATORY as it is in self-defense. Case closed.
Ping to the list (ugh)
The response would be that not all gays are pedophiles. It still wouldn't be seen as a protective measure. The Boy Scouts just don't discriminate against the CORRECT people. *sigh*
***They want to destroy the organization, from within and without. Period.***
You've got it!
And they use multiculturalism to TEAR THIS COUNTRY apart.
Although that's probably the response, the mere attempt to justify deviates being allowed to join would be damaged significantly by public perception, and the court would be faced with the battle of competing expert witnesses arguing the point, ad nauseum, and coming to some compromise that would be SHORT of forcing cut-off's of public funding of the Boy Scouts, I believe. (depends if it gets past the the 9th Circus Court of Appeals, which surely would be where the ACLU would bring the case to get to the 9th Circus).
One has to be 21 to be a Scoutmaster, but can (as of 1993) be an Assistant Scoutmaster at 18.
I would hope so but some in "the public" worry me. I truly hope the BSA finds a slick "gotcha" lawyer.
It would also be a good time to mention that 100% of the boys were abused by homosexuals.
First the catholic church and now the boy scouts!This is just a concerted effort to trash the boy scouts and extort money with the usual help from the courts!
People don't sue, lawyers sue.
They go trolling for plaintiffs.
