Send this URGENT alert to all your friends.

The anti-family movement is pressuring the Boy Scouts to surrender. To give up their honor.  To accept unnatural behavior -- sin -- and abandon their morally sound membership policy which bars open homosexuals from holding leadership positions.

According to a recent statement by Deron Smith, director of Boy Scouts public relations, “... the BSA is discussing potentially removing the national membership restriction regarding sexual orientation. This would mean there would no longer be any national policy regarding sexual orientation..."


The proposed policy shift would place the moral welfare of 2.7 million boys involved in the institution at risk.

Top leaders of the Boy Scouts will meet on Wednesday to make a final decision -- to surrender on principles or stand strong.  

With all urgency, please sign your online petition here.  Urge the Scouts to stand strong.

Please consider taking these additional actions:

1. Write a Facebook post

Tell the Boy Scouts to stand strong by posting a message on their facebook page here. For example: For God and country, do what is right.  Boys need moral and virtuous leaders. Stand firm on moral principles.  Don't let the homosexual movement bully you.

2. Tweet this message

Post the following tweet:
To the @BoyScouts: Don't give up your honor. Don't change. Keep your moral policy as is.  #BoyScouts  http://dld.bz/cdhfH @tfpsa

3. Send a personal email

You can also send a personal email to the following email addresses:
-- Mr. Wayne Brock, Chief Boy Scouts Executive
Wayne.Brock@Scouting.org, feedback@scouting.org, nationalsupportcenter@scouting.org

4. Make some calls

Contact the board members who will be casting their votes on the issue directly.
Ask them to vote AGAINST any policy change that would allow open homosexuals to lead young, impressionable boys.

I think they should just change their name to The Heterosexual Boy Scouts of America.

So evil for adults to “warp” little boys’ thinking-—and turn Christian Ethics (Good and Evil) upside down.

It is a vile “Lie” to think Sodomy is ever “Good”. It is a Satanic/occult/pagan Ethical system. How evil to erase Natural Laws from our Legal System (embedded in our Constitution) to “teach” and condition (brainwash) little kids that something so vile and insidious and destructive to their bodies-—can ever be “Good” and a “Right” and you are supposed to take “PRIDE” is such dysfunctional, vile behavior?

They are insane and evil.

Evil Leftists who want to destroy the idea of male and female in their “Radical Egalitarianism” which dehumanizes human beings. Lust is always evil and homosexuality is an immature lust and idolatry. You never encourage evil.

You seem only to be promoting this “tfpstudent” thing.

It would not be hard to imagine that you were only here to promote that site.

Have you thoughts on this?

It isn’t trivial if the poster is only here to advertise a product.

Product may be the freakin’ bee’s knees but ripping off advertising space is scummy as hell.

If this happens I would say between 60 and 90 percent of its membership would quit immediately.

But not to worry!

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

Just hand over the keys to the fags and re-form to another organization. It’s the word “boys” that attracted the degenerate molester homos to the BSA in the first place...

What if some pathetic wanker has latched on to this issue just to promote his blog-site-drivel?

Shall we enrich a wanker for guessing correctly what we might be enthused over?

What side are you on here gunner?

Blogpimps are getting smarter.

They will now hide behind and re-word articles about

They want hits and could give a damn about the topic.

Do not fall for this, note the posting patterns.
