My Eagle Scout medal is displayed on the wall in my living room.

I feel so conflicted about whether I still want it there.

Are you seriously taking the distraction/demoralization that easily?

While the sins of abuse must not be ignored, and should likewise be prosecuted to the fullest extent possible, this Obama/Netflix expose is intended to diffuse the impact of Sound of Freedom. You see, the #ing Rats just like nasty biotches, are pretty good at deflecting. Anticipate an accounting of Church abuses.

Don’t piss on the majority of Scout leaders that volunteered their free time to encourage and guide young males into adulthood.

This is an angle that occurred to me as well. We're up against evil, and evil never hesitates to devour its own, in this case, politically empowered pedophiles.

How does this abuse differ from drag queen story hour? I don’t intend to watch the Obama mockumentary.

You did your job, and you earned the medal. There is nothing for you to be ashamed about.

I don’t know how I missed all that jazz in my youth, 3 years of scouts, 2-3 trips a year, Meetings every Wednesday night . I missed all of it. All my friends did too.

Unfortunately, whenhave you have groups of young people that need teaching or guidance, some percentage of the adults who show up to participate will be Pedos. You can try to screen for it, but some will always fly UTR. Likewise, you will also have those that just look the other way because its easier.

I’m confused. Netflix which seems to celebrate the desecration of our youth find this issue troubling?

Boys Scouts could just say that they are cutting edge program and we’re first to the party based upon the programming choices media outlets and public demands of many within the Alphabet Army.

They just need to change the angle which the viewers perspective when looking at this story.

Problem solved.

IOW, the same bunch that gave us “Cuties” is not doing this expose for a good reason.

Some people write articles trying to figure out why the membership numbers of the Boy Scouts keeps dropping. They should simply change their name to the Gay Scouts. Since the lesbians are running the GSA, they should re-name themselves the Lez Scouts.

I’m sure this latest headline posted here on FR will attract more members!
