The left have one goal and that is to co-opt conservative organizations and drive traditional values out of the public square. If you allow bigotry to be defined down to being anything that a left winger disagrees with then we are lost. I'm going to avoid doing business with companies that allowed themselves to be bullied in to not supporting scouts through the tyranny of political correctness.

Good riddance...

and if the Boy Scouts yield to the homosexual agenda, then it will be good riddance to them.

I have no problem paying for my own children to be in the Scouts. The money is to help poor kids, without fathers- mostly.

The homos are hurting the less fortunate- not people they are intending on hurting.

We will just start a new group, if they destroy this one.

Builders - build.

So what.

We’re watching. We can boycott companies who will not stand for traditional values too.

Why are corporations so afraid to stand up for what is right instead of worrying what will impact their bank accounts? Oh, looks like I answered my own question. When right and wrong are what someone with the most money says it is there’s a problem...

The BSA will be fine. One would rather be self-sufficient and poor rather than take the money and get raped/molested by degenerate faggots.

The Homosexual Mafia seeks to force acceptance and affirmation of its unholy union in every realm, including the bible (refuted here ), like as they sought to force their way into Lot's house (Lot now represents the church?). Thus we also need the arm of the Lord.

Scouting was created to grow boys into self-reliant, morally upright men. The Communist Liberal Progressives want to either corrupt or outright destroy the scouting organization and the culture it traditionally promoted. If the scouting organization will not stand up for its original values, then it has indeed outlived its usefulness and some other group will have to be formed to replace it.

There was a time when blackmail was illegal.

"...They include IBM, Levi Strauss and Company, J.P. Morgan, American Airlines, Medtronic, Portland General Gas and Electric, Hewlett Packard, Textron, Fleet Bank, CVS/Pharmacy Stores and Carrier Corp."

Really? It's one thing to promote perverted sexuality between adults, it's a whole other thing to be pushing promoters of sodomy on the Boy Scouts.

They have a right to their twisted opinion and I have the right not to purchase or use their products.

Screw the gay activists (although they would probably enjoy it). If they want gay scouts, they can start their own FSA or QSA. Why can’t they do that?

The homosexual-rights group Scouting for All lists some of the corporations that have refused to fund the BSA’s national organization. They include IBM, Levi Strauss and Company, J.P. Morgan, American Airlines, Medtronic, Portland General Gas and Electric, Hewlett Packard, Textron, Fleet Bank, CVS/Pharmacy Stores and Carrier Corp.

Greed, specious reasoning, corruption, lack of integrity are all associated with corporations that have refused to fund the BSA's national organization. They are all Democrats, ehhh?

Maybe it is time to draw a line in the sand and see who the bully's are. These companies apparently do not care about, or see any connection between pedophilia and homosexuality.

They clearly do not understand what is honor to God and country. They are willing to compromise the safety and well being of our children because they are afraid of losing the support of Democrats and the strong homosexual lobby. So be it.

I did not know Romney was one of their supporters. He did not deserve to be president.

Just called CVS—

They offered NO Christmas Cards with their options for photo cards that you can upload your photon online etc...they were ALL Happy Holidays- NO option for Christmas Cards..NONE...I was going to call them and tell them that I was no longer going to be a customer due to this lack of an option, so I got mine at Walmart....but I never got around to calling them...I just did call them now...(1-888-607-4287— I waited for the options and said “agent” got one within 5 seconds!)

now I am off to call the other folks that will no longer get a penny from me...

thanks for posting this...

Companies to add to a permanent boycott list, if they are not already on your list:

Intel, Emerson, Verizon, 3M, Bank of America (also involved with TARP), Wells Fargo (also involved with TARP), Pfizer, Valero, UPS, U.S. Bank (also involved with TARP), Eli Lilly and Co., GE, Monsanto, Medtronic, PNC (also involved with TARP), Nationwide, Abbott, General Mills, Alcoa, Caterpillar, Illinois Tool Works, Allstate, Dow Chemical, IBM, Levi Strauss and Company, J.P. Morgan (also involved with TARP), American Airlines, Medtronic, Portland General Gas and Electric, Hewlett Packard, Textron, Fleet Bank, CVS/Pharmacy Stores and Carrier Corp.

If you don’t have a permanent boycott list, why not? I’d suggest GM because of the shocking corruption of their bankruptcy, all the TARP banks, and all the above anti-Scouting companies (after verifying that they have dropped support for BSA). Every purchase should be considered a political act, and all of my purchases are.

If the scouts decide to allow, as a affirmative policy, homosexuals to work with scouts I will return my Eagle badge, resign my membership in the Eagle Scout Association and discontinue support of scouting. This is not intended to be a cry and go home act. If BSA allows homosexuals to act as adult leaders that's their prerogative and I support that 100%.

I simply believe that the core principals of scouting will have to be radically changed in order to accommodate the homosexual agenda. That agenda is not consistent with my beliefs and I will not support or be a part of an organization that so compromises it's core values as to completely change its character and mission.

By definition scouts will have to be taught that homosexuality is an acceptable life style and is equivalent to heterosexual lifestyle in order to foster and preserve respect for homosexual leaders and scouts. This will be in conflict with the teachings of a large number of charter organizations (churches) that teach homosexuality is immoral. As such there will be incredible tension between charter organizations that allow homosexuals and those that don't. In the end, scouting will become just another organization with no moral compass, lost in the wilderness of diversity and political correctness.

The list includes Portland General Gas and Electric. So if you live in Portland and you want electricity or gas, you have no choice but to support the homosexual agenda? Yeesh!

With that ‘logic’, not letting a grown man be out in the woods with a bunch of little girl scouts is sexism.

MODERATOR—— FR might want to consider keeping the request to call or Email the BSA at the top of one of your right hand columns and keep it locked (not sliding down) there for a few more days.. Thx
