No Duhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dan De Quille]

Having become accustomed to baseball games at home in Los Angeles, I observed many differences at the Metrodome. Among them was an absence of foul language from the fans – I felt I had taken a time machine to the 1950s, so family-friendly was the atmosphere.

Here's another telltale clue about the Libs commitment to "tolerance" and "inclusiveness". They suffer from failure of the imagination; they can't really believe, in their hearts, that there can be any negative consequences from such a commitment.

Well, I'm not a liberal, and I don't have any problem saying what Prager says. The vast, vast majority of parents don't want homosexual behavior modeled for their impressionable children - and for their teenagers, whose sexuality is just developing. Apart from the serious and very real dangers of homosexual molestation in the Boy Scouts, parents don't want homosexual men kissing in front of their kids, they don't want a homosexual scoutmaster telling their boys that some man he sees looks 'cute' or 'has a cute ass' or 'gets his blood circulation going,' etc., etc. The truth is that homosexuality is highly influenced by environmental factors (as well as by actual molestations). Parents have every right and reason to keep homosexual scoutmasters away from their kids. For the very few who want otherwise, there are plenty homosexual men who would be quite willing to mentor their teenage sons.

Liberals boycott the Boy Scouts ....

I've been a Scouter now for the last 10 years. I'm active at a level that brings me into contact with volunteers from numerous units besides my own, and my local Council's professional staff as well. And I'm here to tell you that there's plenty of liberals in the BSA, folks. If we all only joined organizations whose politics and policies we agreed with 100%, most of us would be spending our evenings and weekends sitting home watching TV and never going out.

As well, there's certainly enough conservatives who disapprove of the BSA because "don't ask, don't tell" isn't conservative enough for them.

In light of the experiences of the Boy Scouts of America, where they spend $50,000 every month on attorney fees (to kick the molesters out) and settlements (to molested boys), it is astonishing to me that Big Brothers/Big Sisters has issued a nationwide directive to all its local chapters, requiring that homosexual "Big Brother" applicants cannot be turned away due to their sexual preference.

They have always been very careful to avoid letting a heterosexual man be a Big Brother to a teenaged girl. The risk of sexual abuse was too great. Common sense ruled. But letting a homosexual man be a Big Brother to a teenaged boy is okay, I guess.

If some joker decided to focus on me when I just want to watch a ballgame, I'd give the crowd something to see, and it wouldn't be a kiss.

Who thinks up these things?

Prager Ping

Liberals are the kind of mice who simply scrunch their eyes and shake their heads and the world becomes some very vague utopia in the fog. Liberals are the ultimate hypocrites.

How could it be that in the state of libertarian Gov. Jesse Ventura and Sen. Paul Wellstone, perhaps the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate, such discrimination could take place?

Sorry to go off on a small tangent, but does anyone know if Ventura has actually made Minnesota any more libertarian (like, in an economic sense)? Or is it still same old same old over there?

[onedoug]

Prager is dicussing this on his show again now.

"The answer is that many liberals engage in self-deception regarding homosexuality. Their rhetoric of "tolerance" and "diversity" has trapped them into losing touch with their own deepest values and intuitions. Liberals boycott the Boy Scouts because the Boy Scouts want to provide heterosexual scoutmasters as models for their boys. But when actually confronted with homosexuality, most liberals do not react with the acceptance they seek to impose on others"

It isn't self deception. Not in all cases, anyway.

Left-wing tolerance" and "diversity" rhetoric is NOT about "tolerance" OR "diversity" : it's about creating "discord" for the purpose of "controlling" the masses.
