The Boy Scouts of America is considering dropping a longtime ban on gay members, according to a spokesman.

“The BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation,'' spokesman Deron Smith said in a statement obtained by FoxNews.com. "This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation, but that the chartered organizations that oversee and deliver Scouting would accept membership and select leaders consistent with their organization’s mission, principles or religious beliefs."

The BSA knows that the homosexuals use youth groups to indoctrinate youngsters.

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/local-news/20121017-boy-scouts-confidential-files-show-pattern-of-grooming-behavior-in-molesters.ece

the story came out after the release of files last year that related to the investigations of volunteers who were accused of abusing boys.

A friend of my wife was at a party and a woman asked about another woman who became a homosexual to which my wifes friend told everyone that she has no desire to ever see her now and she will not let her daughter ever go near the woman. My wifes friend stood for her beliefs as does my wife though sadly millions do not have her courage and conviction and instead would rather be sheep or cowards. Whilst people remain cowards on our side and not call the media , not send mail , call elected officials and that does not just include our own then the radical communist from the 60’s will win . Also when the he’ll is our side going to get groups like media matters etc and get organized and go after the corrupt media and the left , go on the attack instead of always Reacting to what the lunatics do

It does say in Scripture “From such, turn away,” but the American people won’t follow Scipture on much of anything now.

Another article about this disgusting detsruction of an excellent and worthy institution.

A comment I saw elsewhere:

---- went to a meeting tonight. Here's his words, since he doesn't have an account here I figured a 1st person report was better.

I am on the committee of our son's troop. In the wake of yesterday's announcement by BSA we had an unplanned meeting with our district representative. I had half expected a canned speech encouraging us not to jump to conclusions, hang together, etc., but I couldn't have been further from the truth. He essentially said that the local district and council just got wind of this whole thing yesterday when it broke on the news. His opinion was that although the BSA won't officially make a decision until sometime next week, the deal has already been done behind closed doors. (I say this not to discourage anyone from contacting BSA to voice their objections, just to set realistic expectations. I myself intend to call, and would encourage any of you to do so as well.) It seems that since the Supreme Court "victory" that BSA won recently, there have been many corporate sponsors that have decided to discontiue their support either quietly or with public fanfare. The career scouters at BSA headquarters probably saw that their jobs were in danger, and are deciding in favor of income preservation over principle.

Anyway, he seemed to think that it was the beginning of the end of the BSA, and that many units or sponsoring organizations would decide at this point that they no longer wanted to affiliate themselves with the national BSA organization.

I’m hoping that now the leftist revolutionaries are taking their masks off and their demands and acts of abominable treason will become more and more outrageous, that more people will realize that they have nothing to lose by speaking up and acting on their principles.

It’s going to get very bad on all fronts IMHO. Soon. ALready getting much more intense, everyone can feel it and read about it. And experience it.

The new BSA will become the Brown-shirted SA to fulfill Obama’s dream of the National Civilian Security Force he so desires!

They already have the correct color shirt with the only thing missing is the proper indoctrination and sodomization!

972-580-2330

is the number to call.

homosexual groups have been pushing it for at least 48 hours.

email the number to all your lists, talk shows, church groups, sunday schools, republican clubs, and any other list you can think of.

even post it on facebook.

There are a mere two corporate busybodies on the bsa board that are pushing for homosexual access to minors. (odd yes?)

again the number is:

972-580-2330

Pehaps local chapters need to start making their disaffiliation votes knows now.

That story seems more about damage control and preventing the mass exodus.

BTW the number to call is 972-580-2330

Quite a history, thanks. As reflected in the rest of society, the issue of the safety of young males in the presence of repressed or not repressed homosexuals (who are really also are pedophiles, boys only).

The part in the history of LBP about his interest in seeing the photos of nude male students, recalled to me why these photos were taken in those days. Students had photos made of them for medical evaluation of range of motion of the limbs, to assess spinal alignment (detect scoliosis) and polio development. This was done in males and females, and was part of medical training in orthopedics and pediatrics, and a standard of medical practice. Was done in the US from the 1880’s and recent scandal as to where the photos ended up.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_League_nude_posture_photos

Does seem odd an interest in the male photos only. From a time period of emphasis on classical education (Greek/Roman classicism) then the human form was glorified (not unlike the nordic/aryan propaganda of the nazis in film and photo) but also provided cover for the prurient.

It has indeed been a problem for scouting, and with girl scouting as well. What is most irritating is the “dumbing down” demanding agenda that this is normal— when it isn’t, even as they try to make some moral equivalence to rabid heterosexuality. Point missed is that both are wrong in childhood development, and the innocent are preyed upon. As a student of history, obviously cultural norms were very different in ancient Greece (and arguably led to the downfall of Greece and the Roman empire). Strange world we have to deal with to raise our children, and the statists are not “moral” at all.

AMEN! Everyone needs to study and digest your post on the perversions of Homosexuals! Now, they are bombarding kids from the youngest ages in public schools about how “COOL” being “GAY IS!”
Our wonderful Society is collapsing! and I am so thankful to have lived before this total degeneration of American Ideals and Culture!

How could such a group of mentally deranged creatures gain such power to dictate to the normal populace?

supposedly this issue was on todays agenda for the BOD. So far nothing has been released. The MSM has put out some propaganda trend pieces regarding panetta sodemizing the military and england forcing homosexual fetish based marriages, but nothing from the scouts.

any FR ears on the ground?

232 ... why these photos were taken in those days ...

This is why FR is so great. Thank you for that ray of illumination. With a handle and tag like yours, you must be a Virginian. Always liked the Virginia state motto. BSA may have dodged a bullet today. The months running up to the next annual National business meeting over May 22-24 at the Gaylord Texan Hotel in Grapevine, TX, should be interesting to say the least.

Yep, VA but lived a lot of other places, and worked with Brock when on an Executive Council (community based council of business leaders). Yes the upcoming meeting will be interesting. The real message to BSA needs to be— stop taking the money from corporatists who subscribe to the greater agenda that compromises Boy Scout values as originally envisioned. It is the incoming leaders from these outfits that think they will change the organization to their agenda (one wonders what their predilection is)- they need to be voted OUT, removed, contrary to the charter. Period.

It is a private organization, and should resist the “expansionist” agenda that requires more and more donations with strings. Tell verizon, et al to pound sand, and go private donation only— no united way, nothing like that— accept corporate that has no strings. There are enough legacy Scouts to support this, including Scouts who may have suffered assault. It would mean a smaller leaner organization which true Americans would want their children involved with for ALL the correct reasons, and with the expectation their child would not be compromised.

Just realized reading over the link, that somewhere in the Smithsonian is a photo of Wellesley freshwoman Hillary Clinton (but I bet not). Would be interesting from the perspective of “what in the hell did bill see in her?” Cause later a manlier woman was her look, and one unfortunate misguided child.

That all is personal, not political, but when trying to figure out why someone is such a failure (despite all dem PR efforts to tell us how great she is)- it could complete the picture. sad really, except it got an ambassador killed (him notably homo, too).
