As counterintuitive as it may sound for an organization with such a wholesome and all-American reputation, it seems that secrecy and heavy-handed tactics are the order of the day at the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) meeting that will decide whether the BSA will change its century-old policy to expand its membership to include open and avowed homosexuals.

Repels mosquitos but attracts lower forms of life.
Conservatives are reluctant to “destroy the village in order to save it.” Instead, I think they tend to rely on help from above. Supporters of the heterosexual boy scouting organization would not have been willing to highlight sex abuse by older scouts and scoutmasters in order to show the dangers of putting them in overnight camping situations because of the discredit it would have brought to the entire organization.
Unfortunately the left has no similar reluctance to burn the village to the ground if need be to gain their objectives.
Wonder how many pieces of silver it took for Wayne Perry to sell out America’s children?
Conservative boy scouts and their families and htose conservatives who fund the boy scouts shoudl immediately break away, and begin their own group- name it somethign else, and pledge to never cave into gay pressure again- Bet they woudl have a lot of families signign up and pulling hteir kids out of the corrupt boy scouts-
Name the organization True Scouts of America.

Not IF parents and donors pull their support from thje group and begin their own- send al oud clear message that they will NOT be bullied by the homosexual agenda- There are enough conservative groups and donors that parents coudl start a new organization that bans immoral behavior of any kind as the supeme court has ruled a private organization does infact have the right to do so- Hopefulyl there will be a mass exodus fro mthe boy scouts of
America to send al oud clear message that higher ups do NOT get to decide for everyoen what theirm orality values shoudl be
They aren't going to be able to support an expensive bureaucracy when non-corporate donations decline. I don't think the corporate donations will increase until the issue is settled regarding gay scoutmasters. I expect corporate donations to continue to decline, because the pressure will be unrelenting to authorize homosexual scoutmasters.
The lifeblood of the BSA are the 1 million volunteers. Assuming the # of volunteers drops by 40%, how does the BSA expect to effectively continue? Get 70% more output of the remaining volunteers, or go to homosexual groups for assistance?
[[When is the last straw going to be the last straw?]]
Germany- Ovens- Gas Chambers- even then there wasn’t enough to break the camel’s back- They did a test here i nthe us asking people to witness what they htought was extreme abuse, and to hit a button when they saw too much but ot refrain if they htought the person was dealign with it ‘ok’ and a few other tests where their morality was beign tested, and time after time the people refraiend even after they said they would pre-test- The show started off by sayign somethign along htel iens of “Think that what happened in Germany woudl never happen here? Think again”
People are shockinglyu capable of tolorating EXTREME abuses to others, and fall into the trap of htinking it could never happen to them even thouigh they see it happenign to everyoen aroudn them- They fall into a mentality of self-preservation which demands they ‘not get involved’ even though they proudly proclaim before the event that they ‘would never’ do such and such- but when it comes down to it- they follow right along with all those before them that simply complied and paid with hteir lives for it- We always htink ‘someone will stop this at soem point’ but noone ever does-
The gaystapo may think they have won this round, but wait until the individual troops insist that they abide by the same "morally straight" part of the scout oath as normal heterosexual boys.
After a long battle the Boy Scouts of America finally succumbed yesterday to a terminal case of O’Sullivan’s Law.
O’Sullivan’s Law states that any organization or enterprise that is not expressly right wing will become left wing over time. The law is named after British journalist John O’Sullivan.
One of the reasons for this is leftist intolerance versus right-wing tolerance. Right wingers are willing to hire openly leftist employees in the interest of fairness. Leftist tend to be utterly intolerant, not allow non-Liberals near them, and feel justified in harassing right wingers at every opportunity. The result is that over time conservative enterprises are slowly infiltrated by leftists while leftist enterprises remain the same or move even further left.
Leftism is in and of itself a form of decay, an entropy of the spirit and intellect. It’s what happens not just to nations but to television shows, churches and universities as the energy given off by the big bang of their inception slowly ebbs away. Rather than expend vitality towards originality and creation they become obsessed with introspection, popularity and lethargy.
An enterprise can stave off O’Sullivan’s Law if their creators keep it in mind and remain vigilant. Any organization that grows lackadaisical about its original values will eventually fall prey to this malady.
For example, the Annenberg Foundation was started by a Republican but it didn’t take long before O’Sullivan’s Law had them handing terrorists money for educating kids. The ACLU, the Ford Foundation and the Episcopal Church all fell to O’Sullivan’s Law.
And now, at long last, the BSA.
R.I.P.
Boy Scouts of America
I guess “morally straight” will have to be removed from the Scout Oath.
The same can be said for the military. By allowing gays to openly serve, allowing women in combat, pressure on Christians to "keep their Christianity in the closet" - all combined will result in godly, Christian people to leave the military and far fewer to enlist, thus "abandoning" our once great, GREAT military, turning it over to the dictates of the commie/marxists who desire nothing less than its total control and ultimate demise.
Sound depressing, don't I?
It applies to all licensed mental health professionals. Any such counseling could result in a loss of the professional license.
Saw that (see post 41). Frankly, this is on the edge of a free speech restriction, but then, I'm opposed to State licensing of professionals in principle. Third-party certification and insurance can fill that role just fine.
I hope there’s a mass exodus, too. However, I just don’t think it will happen. I think most scouts will compromise, because their membership is more important to them than their principles. I hope I’m wrong, but we’ll see.
No.. you're being realistic. Conscientous parents will work to dissuade their kids from joining the Scouts and the military and the populations of both will gradually but markedly shift to a more homosexually oriented one.
I would recommend boys and teens to get involved in church youth activities and as for the military... stay away from that hot mess.. go to college or learn a trade instead.
I agree... we’re in a very dark time now.
Glad I’m nearing the final quarter-turn of life.
Based on their official statement, the Mormons are compromising with moral corruption. So what if an open homosexual isn’t having sex? That’s not the issue. The issue is open advocacy for homosexuality. This isn’t about
sympathy for a child who is struggling with same-sex attraction and helping them overcome homosexuality. It’s about normalization of homosexuality.
That’s the same reason why I would never allow an unrepentant homosexual to join my church. An unrepentant homosexual cannot be a Christian, because they believe they aren’t sinning. So what if they don’t act on it. If they advocate acceptance of homosexuality without condemning it as sin, they aren’t Christian.
Once these folks get their foot in the door, it’s only a matter of time before they want to serve as leaders. It also has a chilling effect on free and open speech. In churches, it starts with pastors who don’t want to discuss homosexuality or sin for fear of offending someone, and once the unrepentant homosexuals are in leadership positions, it reaches open acceptance of their sin.
One cannot be both morally straight and an open advocate for homosexuality. Have no doubt that that is the ultimate agenda here. Homosexuals will not be satisfied until their sexual sin is completely normalized and any dissenters are shouted or litigated out of the public sphere.
Going to be interesting to see their revenues drop like a rock. Wonder what their new motto will be? Suggestions?
You’re absolutely right. Moral people on the right believe in fairness and tolerance. We want to be nice to people who disagree with us. However, it has been proven time and time again that immoral people on the left do not extend the same courtesies to us. They will use every dirty trick in the book to force their will on us. Every compromise just pushes the ball further left. Oh, they might play nice at first, but just wait until they gain the upper hand. Then their total lack of tolerance and fairness is exposed as they try to squash anyone who disagrees.
