YAY!

Scouting Ping and a great one!

The Boy Scouts win!

[SmithL]

The 1st Amendment wins in Philadelphia!

[ProtectOurFreedom]

ALL RIGHT!! Turn back the tide of the radical homos. Just think of all the good that the Scouts can do with almost a million bucks!

[Secret Agent Man]

Good. F abusive government on every level. It should come out of the govt workers’ pensions.

[calex59]

Yep, left wing a**hats trying to suppress the 1st amendment rights of everyone except other left wing a**hats.

[tcrlaf]

Philly taxpayers on the hook for $900,000, plus legal expenses, for pimping the gay agenda.

And NO ONE will show up at the council meeting to complain about this complete wasting of taxpayer dollars by radical Democrats. Wouldn’t want to be known as a BIGOT after all, would we?

And you wonder what’s wrong in America, today?

[DemforBush]

Huzzah! Three cheers for Judge Ronald Buckwalter!

[little jeremiah]

Pingout tomorrow!

Good news for the BSA. On a side note, I, as a BSA chartered org. rep, answered a BSA poll on whether I would recommend other organizations become charter orgs. and I said NO! And it was because of the PC crud that would give the charter org. a media outlet to corrupt the purpose of the BSA and turn a troop into a recruiting tool for atheists, perverts and people with allegiance to secular humanism.

[Lancey Howard]

Great news. Screw Philthadelphia.

The Democrats running the place tried to intimidate and browbeat and extort the Boy Scouts into signing up homos to take little boys off into the woods, and the Boy Scouts, figuring this was not a good idea, told the Philthadelphia Democrats to go play in the street. And now Philthadelphia must pay, big.

It’s always nice to see a sunbeam of sanity in today’s America.

So bend over, taxpaying Philthadelphia voters, and pay up - - you are getting exactly what you deserve.

wonderful news. and the scouts gave the building to the city. i guess no scout’s good deed goes unpunished by liberals.

The local Cradle of (illegal discrimination) Liberty Council has tried to walk a fine line between appeasing the city, the United Way and other supporters and the Irving, Texas-based Boy Scouts of America.

In 2003, it enacted its own nondiscrimination policy but was forced to repeal it when the Boy Scouts of America ordered it to conform to national rules. The chapter later enacted a statement that says it doesn't tolerate illegal discrimination.

But it does tolerate illegal discrimination against the Boy Scouts of America 1st Admendment to the tune of $800,000.00. Ouch!

[FroggyTheGremlim]

A scout is:

• Trustworthy,
• Loyal,
• Helpful,
• Friendly,
• Courteous,
• Kind,
• Obedient,
• Cheerful,
• Thrifty,
• Brave,
• Clean,
• and Reverent.

And apparently financially-astute!

We had the National Meeting in Philadelphia in 2003 (note the year). It was a circus, with all of the protestors and news media outside, and the hosting Council, Cradle of Liberty, in the midst of enacting its own policy not to discriminate against gays - a policy in violation of the BSA policy, and which Cradle of Liberty was forced to repeal.

Those were the minuses.

On the other hand, at the Southern Region Banquet, I sat back-to-back with a Scoutmaster from Tennessee who had just completed 75 years as Scoutmaster with the same Troop. My table included the curator of the Norman Rockwell works at the BSA National Museum, and the Eagle Scout about to go to the South Pole as part of the bi-annual London Geographic Society program that always takes an Eagle Scout. One of the speakers was the Eagle Scout helicopter pilot shot down in Iraq and kept as a POW, whose badly beaten face had been on the cover of TIME or Newsweek. One of the Scouts awarded a heroism medal had been on a houseboat that exploded, and despite shattered legs and a broken arm, swam to shore and back several times, dragging unconscious people from the burning wreck (fuel had leaked on the water).

Scouting will survive. It's not a program; it's a movement. A world-wide movement.

A real slap in the face to the same-sexers and a blow to their quest to access little boys. Finally, the homo agenda suffers a defeat.
