We had a couple of strange boys in our troop. They were confused and now would be considered "gay". We knew nothing about homosexuality. We were tolerant before the work became political. ACLU is intolerant and ACLU is bad for the USA.

I'm glad someone finally pointed this out about the Boy Scouts. We had all sorts of boys in our troop. The BSA were "tolerant" before there was even such a word.

"... The problem with the code of character that Scouts must adhere to is the idea of honor, the idea that an individual is accountable before God and his fellow man to uphold his duty with integrity, service, and selflessness. For if one is subject to moral laws higher than himself, and his honor is bound up in duty to those laws, the supremacy of the individual must meet its defeat.

"Boy Scouting is a bold resistance to the rising individualism of the age. Scouting teaches self-government, not selfishness. It should come as no surprise that the Boy Scouts are hated by the most vocal of the individualists whose moral agendas have no compatibility with Scouting: atheists and homosexual activists."

You're right. The ACLU and the other moral relativists are working to release the bonds of the evil that is within each of us, rather than working to keep it in check. It is important that we regain control of this, and soon.
