Wonder how many pieces of silver it took for Wayne Perry to sell out America’s children?

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.

Sheesh, I'm off line for one day and the BSA goes from being one of the most honorable institutions to a PC sell out organization.

Going to be interesting to see their revenues drop like a rock. Wonder what their new motto will be? Suggestions?

[[I think most scouts will compromise, because their membership is more important to them than their principles.]]

Membership in A new group of scouts “True Scouts of America” as someoen suggested, woudl be just as improtant to these kids once it’s established, up, financed, and goals set etc- only htis new group would stress principles andm orals which the boy scouts of america seems ot have lost- one owudl think that because htey have lost htese ideals, that kids and parents would be looking for osmething more wholesome for hteir kids-

This is going to make some interesting waves at the World Jamboree. Some countries aren’t quite so homo-friendly as America is.

Personal story: I quit the Boy Scouts in 1954 when I was invited by several members of my troop to participate in a homosexual “party,” organized by one of the Scoutmasters, while on a camping trip.

I was 13, and had no idea what homosexuality was, but when the practice was described to me in glowing terms by one of the participants, I knew I did not want to have anything to do with it or them.

I really don’t care what people do in the privacy of their bedrooms, but recruiting young boys to “join” the homosexual lifestyle is way beyond the pale.

BSA has committed suicide, IMHO!

Too bad we don’t have the ID and compamies that the destroyers work for. Because then we could boycot the daylights out of them.

As a christian and a deacon in my church, this policy change has created an untenable position for me. Since I am being forced to choose between my faith and participating in an organization that no longer reflects my values and no longer maintains it’s stated principles, I am left with no choice but to resign my position within the Boy Scouts and disassociate myself.

Effective Immediately, I will no longer support the Boy Scouts of America with either my volunteer hours or with my funds. I resign from both my position as Assistant Scout Master and Committee Member. The next scout meeting that I attend will be to publicly and before the troop resign and take off my scouting shirt.

They’ll have to remove the “morally straight” clause of the pledge now.

A couple staunch gay-rights supporters have risen to key leadership positions in BSA’s national leadership and are pushing for the change.

Yuri Besmenov was a prophet. America's "demoralization" is complete. We are ripe for the fall.

When confronted, the FedEx manager admitted that when he saw the handouts being printed in the shop that he contacted the hotel to tip off BSA staff so they could respond.

Somehow I see in my mind a pimply faced Nazi youth.

This what happens after generations of children are sent into godless government owned and run socialist-entitlement schools. And.....Christians and conservatives let them and continue to allow it.
