They used to let them use the Carrier Dome, but the homosexual pedophiles threw a hissy fit, and tossed the Boy Scouts out.
I sent a letter to the University, and they didn't respond.
When they call me for money, I tell them to get lost.

Outraged citizens crashed the e-mail system of the Philadelphia mayor's office after the city accused the local Boy Scouts chapter of discriminating against homosexuals and forced the organization to pay $200,000 rent for its city-owned headquarters.
About 150,000 Boy Scout-related e-mails were removed from the city's e-mail system, reported the Bulletin newspaper of Philadelphia.
"We were deluged," said Terry Phillis, chief information officer for Mayor John Street. "We pulled the messages off so they wouldn't take the system down. It had to be done to protect system integrity."
As WND reported, Philadelphia's city council voted to renege on a 1928 ordinance allowing the Cradle of Liberty Council to have its headquarters in a building on a parcel of public land "in perpetuity" for $1 a year.
Phillis believes there was "an active campaign to let city council know they were against what happened."
The city told the Scouts they must either adopt the city non-discrimination policies, pay the market value rent of $200,000 a year or give up the building space.
The Bulletin said the e-mails criticizing the city's decision threatened the computer system despite a sophisticated filtering system designed to prevent overloads.
A city council man who supports the Scouts, Frank Rizzo, said he will answer every e-mail he received.
"I received more than 1,000 e-mails just Sunday," he told the Philadelphia paper. "... I believe I have an obligation to people who write to me. I treat it just like it was a letter."
City officials in San Francisco and Boston have made similar decisions to displace the Scouts because of the group's behavior code.

Dems raise money from the gay community to buy votes on election day. This explains the strange bond between gay activists and the “urban black leadership”.
Frank Rizzo?? Now, THERE is a name from the past!
Must be one of his descendents?
Starange to write it, but Philly could use another Rizzo.
It is his son..
The willful ignorance of liberals on this issue would gag a maggot.
I really admire the Boy Scouts for standing firm on their policy of not admitting homosexuals either as members or as scout leaders. This is a wise policy that protects boys from sexual abuse. Speaking as the parent of a Boy Scout, I can say that I am truly grateful that this organization puts the safety and the morals of the boys ahead of considerations of political correctness or “inclusion.”
The city of Philadelphia should be condemned for trying to force a private organization to change a policy that harms no one but protects many.
when I first read your post i started laughing, then realized I had mis-read. Thanks for my first laugh today

Damn. Bet those black demorobots hate that name. - and him.
I remember how Frank used to make me laugh with some of his strange remarks:
"The streets are safe in Philadelphia -- it's only the people that make them unsafe."
Come on, that has to make you laugh, even today!

You were nicer than I would have been. I would have told them to homosexualize themselves....in different words.
Shut it down again and again and again and again.
They MIGHT get the message
one for the scout list
Would any sane parent send their son on a camp out with known homosexuals? This is a flagrant attempt to destroy the Boy Scouts. The citizens of Philadelphia need to vote these Marxist scum out of existence.
Scout Supporters and Scout Parents are doing their duty to send a message to Phillie; Honor the 1928 aggreement and LAY-OFF the Scouts!
Thats just short of 10 million bucks that the good homos, queers, and other citizens of philly could pony up to honor their prior legal obligation under the lease.
Which is the exact figure that the city itself put on the property.
Somehow, though, I do not believe they want any part of doing anything legally.
Mugging is more the liberal style.
If there is a defense fund for the Cradle of Liberty Council, I want in on it. Hopefully the pervert groups will also be named co-defendants.
