Daily Kos: Boy Scouts America's Version of Hitler Youth.....
Weasel Zippers/Kos ^

Posted on 05/15/2009 9:24:34 AM PDT by JDAM2007

US' own Hitler Youth- Daily Kos

In todays NYT, there is an article about the boy scouts explorer program which takes scouts (boys and girls) between 14 and 18 and trains them in so called law enforcement activities.This proram now has over 35,000 members and semms to be concentrated in the border areas.

My immediate reaction on reading the article was to think of the Hitler Youth movement in Germany of the thirties, and to this end I checked into Wiki and compared the two groups.

Boy Scouts of America founded Feb 8, 1910

Pretty sure that makes it around well before the Hitler Youth.

And we’re supposed to live in the same country with these people?

It’s time for a national divorce.

Return sovereignty to the states, eliminate all extra constitutional federal laws, and let people live with their fellow kooks without affecting others.

This foolish thinking has been around for a long time. I remember telling my parents this very thing -- when I was very young and very stupid. That was decades ago. I'm no longer young, and I may still be stupid -- but I'm not that stupid.

I believe that Hitler was also afraid of our Boy Scouts, probably because of what he was trying to do with German youth for his own warped worldview. I think this should make us suspicious of what Kos has in mind... These fears tell us much more about the mind of the fearer than the feared.

Hitler disbanded the boy scouts and forced all scout members to join the Hitler Youth. This shows you how much the left lies, and how little attention they pay to history. This is all about the Scouts being against queer scoutmasters.

The Russians make similar accusations in the mid-80’s. Radio Moscow stated that the Girl Scouts were prostitutes going rom door to door to raise money for the American War Machine.

Here is further empirical evidence that Liberalism inverts reality. It begins by rendering its victims incapable of distinguishing between good and evil (moral equivalence), and finishes by reversing their perception (self-hatred).

Daily Kos and the NYT represent an arm of Barry’s brownshirt legion. Furthermore, I find it ironic that they want to berate the Boy Scouts and ignore Barry’s attempts at brownshirt indoctrination. Typical of the far left; how quaint. Not.

Remember all of this is based on the Boy scouts ban on openly gay scout leaders. If that policy ever changes, then they will love the Boy Scouts and everything they do. All will be forgiven if they ever go PC.

Just goes to show you how little Kos readers know about history.

Hitler wanted Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Boy Scouts, arrested after Germany invaded Britain.

Scout Oath
On my honor I will do my best
To do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
To help other people at all times;
To keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

Scout Law
TRUSTWORTHY
A Scout tells the truth. He keeps his promises. Honesty is part of his code of conduct. People can depend on him.

LOYAL
A Scout is true to his family, Scout leaders, friends, school, and nation.

HELPFUL
A Scout is concerned about other people. He does things willingly for others without pay or reward.

FRIENDLY
A Scout is a friend to all. He is a brother to other Scouts. He seeks to understand others. He respects those with ideas and customs other than his own.

COURTEOUS
A Scout is polite to everyone regardless of age or position. He knows good manners make it easier for people to get along together.

KIND
A Scout understands there is strength in being gentle. He treats others as he wants to be treated. He does not hurt or kill harmless things without reason.

OBEDIENT
A Scout follows the rules of his family, school, and troop. He obeys the laws of his community and country. If he thinks these rules and laws are unfair, he tries to have them changed in an orderly manner rather than disobey them.

CHEERFUL
A Scout looks for the bright side of things. He cheerfully does tasks that come his way. He tries to make others happy.

THRIFTY
A Scout works to pay his way and to help others. He saves for unforeseen needs. He protects and conserves natural resources. He carefully uses time and property.

BRAVE
A Scout can face danger even if he is afraid. He has the courage to stand for what he thinks is right even if others laugh at or threaten him.

CLEAN
A Scout keeps his body and mind fit and clean. He goes around with those who believe in living by these same ideals. He helps keep his home and community clean.

REVERENT
A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.

Scout Motto — Be Prepared

Scout Slogan — Do a Good Turn Daily

_________________________________________________
Of course, the Daily Kooks hate Scouts. God, good deeds, and good living, centered on individual responsibility and courtesy to others ...

Here is a hint, Kooks ... when an organization pops up that does the bidding of the government, and includes children singing songs to their Dear Leader, pledging oaths to that leader, and organizing voters and the census, then you can start the real comparisons to Hitler Youth.

The Soviet Union and Hitler's Germany were both convinced that the Boy Scouts was a US paramilitary training organization.

No surprise that readers of the Daily Kos share the twisted worldview of those two states. Same goals as well.

Gee, Daily-Kos, I'm an Eagle Scout. By your il-logic, that automatically makes me the Commander of a Death Camp.

But I'm not personally insulted by your infantile remarks. If anything, I pity you all. You won the Presidential Election, you control both Houses of Congress, polls suggest that your golden-calf-god is loved universally both here & around the world.

Yet, you're miserable and full of hate for anyone that doesn't share 100% of your opinions. No truer statement applies than, "Sucks to be you."

Preparing us for another attack on the Scouts, and prepping us for the coming National Service Corps in their snappy uniforms- it’s in the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, which got signed into law.

I don’t see how Obama could allow the Scouts to exist, with all his plans for Volunteerism and all.

Remember Red Dawn- Your son is a member of an elite paramilitary organization, and so he is under suspicion....But he’s an Eagle Scout!

The Daily Kos also thinks:
fireworks are too much like bombs
puppies are too much like rabid wolves
apple pie was Hitler's favorite
and
Eva Longoria should change her name

As practically every country has its own Boy Scouts, does that mean that every country has it’s own Hitler Youth?

Why single out the United States? After all, you in the left like to claim that all countries are equal and no country is better than any other.

One of my Parish priests grew up on Van Gogh street in Amsterdam. One day he went to his Boy Scout troop meeting with his father and the Hitler Youth had taken over and told him there were no more Boy Scouts. They just turned around and went home. He was friends with Anne Frank.

Nope. They are drug dealers relying on the addictive properties of their Thin Mints.

Or the Hitler Youth movement in Canada of the forties.

He's got it backwards. The Hitler Youth was modeled on the Scouts, not vice-versa.

If you take a look at the origins of Scouting and it's British founder Robert Baden-Powell, the Scouts were founded to train boys in preparation for military service, specifically in the skills needed for military scouting (ie, reconnaissance).

Exactly. The Boy Scouts are a paramilitary organization, have been from the get-go.

I was just an Explorer, but my son made Eagle Scout two years ago and he and I learned a ton on the hikes.

The troop is where I learned how to ski on one of their ski trips.

My son learned tremendous leadership skills and how to shoot rifles, pistols, etc., and how to survive in the wilderness, year round, even in below-freezing weather, without shelter.

The Boy Scouts are one of the greatest organizations ever.

These filthy creep liberals hate it because they hate God and anything good.

They are evil incarnate.
