Merck's charitable foundation has stopped giving money to the Boy Scouts of America. The Merck Foundation says the Boy Scouts' exclusion of gays from its ranks and leadership positions conflicts with giving guidelines and the company's nondiscrimination policy.

The foundation says it will reconsider giving money to the Boy Scouts if they change their policy on sexual orientation. Merck CEO Kenneth C. Frazier was a scout in his youth. He received the "Good Scout" Award from the Philadelphia Cradle of Liberty Boy Scout Council in June. ...

Doesn’t Merck also use body parts from dead babies to manuacture or test pharmaceuticals?

Years ago when United Way, under pressure from Levi Strauss stopped giving to the BSA. With my late stepdad being a former Scout Master, naturally this got under my skin. I haven’t given to UW, nor worn a pair of levi’s or dockers since.

This is why I don’t give to any foundation or group like the United Way. I give directly to the BSA.

Merck has never given a friggin dime that ended up in our town. Merck is a discriminary organization. Look where the money ends up. Not in our county in Michigan.

So, I can presume Merck CEO Kenneth C. Frazier is a faggot? What kind of company wants to cut off the Boy Scouts of America because the Boy Scouts think it’s a bad idea to let homosexuals take little boys off into the woods?

It is a pretty sad state of affairs when an organization like the Merck Foundation so clearly demonstrates its lack of common sense, and it's willingness to put young people at risk by mindlessly supporting highly questionable and risky behavior.

Homosexuality and pedophilia go hand-in-hand. Is the Merck Foundation that ignorant? Just what aberrant behavior is the organization planning to support next? Merck clearly cares not for the safety, mental, and physical health of the people.

If the boy rape mob wins, the Scouts should sell of property and shut down. Give the money to another Christian organization.

An child’s organization that makes way for the homo rape of boys in the woods within tents, is not a public service and opposite of Christian service.

They will get sued out of business by victims if they don’t close honorably. They should try to hold on as long as possible but liberals are hungry for that boy butt.

Six to one that none of these anti-BSA whinners have never taken the BSA Youth Protection Training.

Makes me happy to think people like Wal-Mart are busting Merck’s ass with generic medications.

I’m keeping catalog on who is coming down on the Boy Scouts. I will not engage in any commerce with whoever does.

We may not be individual giants, but together with a common Conservative cause, we can be the Titans of Liberty. Hell, there are at least 150 million of us big and small.
