The Marina should be privatized

The Colon Cowboys are determined to get at those young boys.

The Scouts should demand reimbursement for the value of the rip-rap, plus interest.

The subversive left and its support for the queer agenda, will backslide into the tarpits of history. The left continues moving to the left, which will eventually put them over the cliff. I am optimistic that their rabid radicalism will wipe them out soon enough.

Amen brother. I am also uncomfortable with cases that decide on How the government provides services as opposed to whether the government should be involved at all. Let the government privatize the marina and the Boy scouts parents would benefit from lower taxes and would not need to demean themselves. I pray that this case doesn't entrench government service delivery.

But if the marina were private, it could decide it does not wish to associate with the Scouts, just as the Scouts do not wish to associate with homosexuals.

The city cannot do this, because of the First Amendment.

Since then, as a condition for free occupancy, the city has required tax-exempt users of the marina to enter into a formal written pledge: Access to the facility cannot be predicated on a person's "race, color, religion, ethnicity, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, political affiliation, disability or medical condition."

I wonder if they require people who drop their boat in for the day or rent berths to be non-discriminatory too.

If it were private this would not even be an issue.

Being an Eagle Scout myself, I'm glad to see the little Sodomite was expelled. My suggestions are; relocation of the Sea Scouts to the Florida Panhandle area, finding a benefactor to pay the fees at their present dock, building a new berth on private land.

I hope the Supremes back the Scouts, but obviously the good people of Berkeley and the California courts are deluded, have entirely too much time on their hands and far too much of the taxpayer's cash to spend. It's sort of reminescent of the TSA, but I digress.

Not accepting perversion as normal and right is "invidious discrimination."I think the California Supreme Court are a bunch of perverts themselves !!!

The vessel serves as the equivalent of a BSA troop.

Well, that is not quite right.

The vessel serves as their mode of transportation and the activities of the Scouts center around the vessel. The writer is confusing the word "ship" with "Vessel". In Sea Scouts the word "ship" has two meanings, one being a 'ship' in the traditional sense of the word, the other being synonymous with the word "troop". A group of Boy Scouts is termed a "Troop", a group of Sea Scouts is termed a "ship".

Thats what I said. taxpayers should not have to pay for things like this. No subsidies and lower taxes.
