From the article:

It’s only a matter of time until the BSA is forced to capitulate to sexual extremists’ political demands and allow homosexual adults – men who define their identity based upon carnal appetites for other males – to take your boys on overnight camping trips.

Once that happens, Trail Life USA will be the life raft for the multitudes. Those who abandon the fast-sinking BSA ship will have a safe place to land.

How are they going to keep the same group that bullied the Boy Scouts into becoming the Boy/Gay Scouts from doing the same to Trail Life USA? Is Trail Life more tied to churches and thus has freedom of religion protection?

My suppositions:

1. The membership is different.

2. Learning from the BSA’s mistakes, Trail Life will not hire scads of professional “scouters” who are willing to sell their souls to keep corporate donations coming in.

I wish these people all the success in the world. They will be a candle in a very dark world!

By steadfastly refusing to become dependent on any donations. What happened to BSA is they got themselves in a situation where they had corporate sponsors they couldn't afford to lose.

Thank you very, very much! There’s a group right in my zip code. This would be awesome for my little man.

Scads? Wow, I haven't heard that word in a really long time. I need to bring it back into my vocabulary.

As a former Scout I welcome this, and have to say that I am deeply disappointed in Boy Scouts’ sell-out.

More power to this new group.

I welcome the competition.

Has Morris Dees and the S.P.L.C. labeled this a hate group yet?

Makes me happy. Thanks for the post. We need to develop godly young men in this nation who are not afraid to be masculine.

I send a two dollar check to the Boy Scouts. It costs them more to process it and deposit it than it is worth as a contribution.

3. Keep the power de-centralized so no one can infiltrate it at the top and take it over.

I wish I was a millionaire so I could contribute to the future of this group. I wonder if Rush would kick in a few million? He certainly loves our country and worries about its future.

Thanks for this.

I can’t express how heartbroken and yes, bitter I am that the Gaystapo has been able to infiltrate my beloved BSA. My son went from Tiger all the way to Eagle. I was a single dad and not earning very much as I raised him and the BSA gave him so many opportunities to see the world and experience so many wonderful things. I myself was a Webelos leader for a couple years.

Please don’t be offended anyone and God forgive me, but GOD DAMN the Somdomites for pushing their degenerate agenda on the BSA!

A $.20 check is even better.

They won’t become dependent upon corporate sponsorships whom subsequently got all skittery when the 1.5% started squawking that it was “unfair”...

With their homosexuality compromise, they simply ceased to exist for me.
