Wow. THIS is bad.

Now they’ve got one foot in the boat and one on the dock, and the Gay Mafia is going to thrash them endlessly about the head and neck.

Far better to just NEVER EVER OPEN THE DOOR A CRACK when dealing with these people. How strategically stupid of the BSOA.

The fact that this is even being discussed should cause them to shed members

Who would ever have thought that the BSA would consider voting on leadership from a group of degenerates with such a hideous and obvious record of sex-offenses to openly enter such a fine organization for young boys? What a preposterous and ignorant notion.

The very fact that they are too chicken-bleep to make a complete and moral stand against faggotry in their organization speaks volumes.

This on-the-fence wavering is BS.

"We need more time for decision on gay membership"

It's really a no-brainer (and it is YOUR club) so, take your time!

Well, BSA, you have to choose:

1) An organization to provide a Christian-based ethical and moral framework to support boys as they become men

2) A camping club where anything goes

If you want to continue to exist as 1) this should stay “tabled” forever.

Surely, they know that if they admit gays they’re finished?

Why are some things blatantly obvious to some but not to others?

I will take that as victory at least for a while.

They are in a lose-lose here, and I would stop donating if they changed, as much as I would hate that.

As long as they dont change I dont care how they soft soap it in public.

It means they don’t want to change the rules but are afraid of the fang-tooth raging man-hating feminazis.

Expect the uglies to attack them anyway.

now is the time to go on the offensive and demand the resignation of the two instigators of homosexuals into the scouts.

Those two have no place in scouting.

That tells me that the homosexual lobby within the BSA is getting A LOT of pressure NOT to change the policy.

Now they are staging a “hudna” until they have enough strength to act decisively.

They know that they lost this battle but there will be many more and they intend to win the war against God.

This also shows us that the BSA leadership is who support the current policy were not strong enough to win this war. We still need to support thoes leaders in the BSA who are fighting the good fight. This is not over by a long shot.

Thanks to everyone who posted a letter on the internet, wrote a letter, made a phone call, signed a petition or anything in support of the the current BSA policies.

Not good.

Anything other than an emphatic “NO” shows that they’re caving.

I haven’t spent much time on this topic, is this gay thing for the gay boys or the gay scout masters that takes the kids to camp?

The Boy Scouts of America said Wednesday it needed "more time for a deliberate review" of its policy banning gay Scouts and leaders, delaying a final decision on the controversial membership guidelines that have dogged the private youth organization in recent years.



The fact that their leadership has to ponder on why it would be wrong to expose boys to sexual deviants says everything.

I don't have a child that could join the Boy Scouts but if I did I would not entrust my child anywhere near a leadership that was to afraid to speak up for their protection.


It's absolutely disgusting what we have become as a society when even the Boy Scouts doesn't know how to stand up for the children they are entrusted to protect .

THIS IS NOT MY AMERICA ANYMORE

Buncha BS. The queers knew they were gonna lose big time. So they convinced the powers that be to put this off for 3-4 months while the homos can crank the PR machine up to high. This is a must win for the fags.

I have to respectfully disagree with most posters.

From what I read and heard in the past week, letting the gays get their way was supposed to be a done deal - today's vote was just going to be a rubber stamp.

There was massive opposition from the rank and file, and significantly the Mormons quietly, but strongly, let it be known that would pull all their troops. Since Mormon troops and Scouts are the most numerous, it carried a great deal of weight, maybe even more than the gay corporate gold. I imagine the Catholics did the same.

The group that will vote on this in May is much larger than the Board and hence less susceptible to corporate black mail.

And, for today, the policy stays in place. I don't have to quit as Scoutmaster or pull my son out!

Only greed and fear of losing sponsors can explain this wishy-washy position. The clear weakness in needing "more time" indicates that the weakness is in the leadership of the BSA. The people making comments told them to stand fast, but greed and shakiness tells them to be indecisive until they figure out how best to counter the people who want them to stay on the side of God.

Are they pretending that there is no relationship between pedophilia and homosexuality? Or is their desire to please their degenerate sponsors to keep the money rolling in more important than the well being and safety of boy scouts?

Why are they afraid to make a decision to stand fast?
