Here we go again. :^(

I wonder how many of those folks would want their sons going on overnights with homosexual scout leaders in charge. sigh...

Here are a some links to get information on how to help the boy scouts:

Support the Boy Scouts

Scouts Alumni Association

Scouting Legal Defense Fund

Also, please take a moment to send an email to the editor of the LA Times to protest their yanking of funding for needy Boy Scouts to go to camp. Letter to the Editor of the Los Angeles Times Thanks.

To cut out the Boy Scouts is in OPPOSITION to diversity.

These kinds of people preach love and inclusion - unless you happen to believe in wholesome, Christian and conservative values. In which case you are portrayed as evil and bigoted.

Boycott the ignorant morons.

"For us it has to do with our core values," she said. "As a company, diversity is at the top of the list, and diversity means no discrimination."

No discrimintion means. . .indiscriminate, which means without discrimination and without discernment.

Liberalism kills common sense and a vocabulary that supports it.

We need to make Liberalism obsolete. . .and return to rational thinking.

For all those who give at the office to United Way - hope you will check and see if you can pull your support and give to your own charity; or mark your donation FOR the Boy Scouts; United Way is off our list, Red Cross, Fireman's Fund and others, safe from the insanity of Liberalism are. . .ON

I don't understand business support of homosexual agendas. They aren't likely to produce the next generation of customers. I will contribute to Boy Scouts this year. They were good for me in my youth. They're good for the youth in the town where I now live. I fail to understand why anyone who has families would not support oppositon to the invasion of homosexual philosophies. (The little girl down the street was named Gay. A movement of sodomites shouldn't ruin the name of innocents.)

I found a public relations e-mail contact on HGTV's website: eyarborough@scrippsnetworks.com

I think E.Yarborough might like to hear from us, as well.

Well, looks like I won't be watching HGTV any more. It's so disappointing that these companies prefer to support individuals engaging in unnatural sexual behaviors over those promoting decency and morality. The term "diversity" has become a synonmy for "perversity."

Thank you for the email link. It is so critical that freepers take the time to write their opposition. It is more important than taking time to comment to another like minded individual. I pray many will take the time to support our Boy Scouts...only a grass roots effort will save them. Write today! and let's boycott all advertisers related to the shows.

diversity means no discrimination

What does it mean when you prefer not to protect children from sodomy rape? Would that be discrimination against the children?

I have written to several institutions, Scripps-Howard among them, with a protest and notice that any transactions I would have done in future with them are cancelled.

There are only two sides to this issue: You're either in favor of protecting children from sodomy rape, or you're not.

Take a look at this. This is what protested the Boy Scouts in San Diego.

This is the future and if you say anything about this thing, you will be called a bigot.

If anyone thinks that this should be in charge of young boys then I must have awakened in an alternative universe.

No more listening to Art Bell.
