That list needs to be balanced by totaling the litigation bounty a change like this will generate.

There are winners and losers and those who pay and those who get paid.

And, finally, after the smoke has cleared and the tears have dried, there are the real winners: those who designed this operation as a step toward winning the war they wage.

They appear to have won this battle, but a true win will depend upon which way the ever more radioactive fallout from this blows.

It is early, too early to tell, but I think the winds are changing.

They are either in denial about the organization or ignorant. Some prefer to be ignorant; then they are not accountable when confronted with issues that go against their worldview.

Now that open gayness is no longer part of the scouts' core values...

Huh? What are you talking about?

When was open gayness part of scouting's core values?

The scouts just became a toxic organization.

There is no “win” for them.

The future is set for failure. No father, no mother will allow her son to be endangered by recreational sex politics or to become a pawn for recreational sex politics.

There is no substantive future source fo new VOLUNTARY recruits.

All those that think the BSA will go under - I think the libs have planned this for a long time, and they will move in and fund the organization as the churches desert it. The result will be a BSA that no longer teaches boys to be “morally straight” - they will redefine it into PC feel-good mush and millions of boys will be misled. Bang goes another source of Godly influence in the world. Satan wins a round - yeah, we know he loses the war, but people will be hurt nonetheless.

Those that are no longer associating with the organization need to make the break clean - no more money, no more use of facilities, don’t buy the popcorn. Try to starve ‘em out before the libs prop ‘em back up. Else there will be another Girl Scouts organization out there promoting evil in the name of innocence. Switch support to one of the church-based alternatives that are popping up as we speak.

Hate it for the kids and the millions of Scout leaders and former Scouts out there (I was never a Scout and I have only raised daughters, so I don’t have a tie) - but this will soon be a zombie organization that is spreading evil instead of good like GSA has become. Salt that loses its flavor is good for nothing.
