Scouts Sending up the White Flag
Lifesite news ^ | 6-8-13 | Anthony Esolen

Posted on 06/09/2013 4:56:56 AM PDT by lastmomstanding

Do not suppose that your enemies will be placated by your surrender. You will be pressured to accept openly homosexual scoutmasters, then “transgender” girls who say they are boys or the Prince of Wales or male aliens from Alpha Centauri 3, then girls generally for all your programs, as they’ve done in Canada, only to see their membership go the way of the Church of Canada, since no one will stand up for someone who stands for nothing. 


You have betrayed your friends to assuage your enemies. May they treat you more handsomely than you have treated us.

Then if this IS TRUE...WHY would any conservative, parent with integrity ALLOW their child to be a part of that organization, especially VOLUNTARILY !!!!

If you didn't know you didn't know. Under the previous policy if they "came out of the closet" they were expelled.

It's not the house's fault that termites burrow into the foundation.

Unfortunately true. It did not have to be this way. But BSA brought it on themselves.

Homosexual Agenda Ping

Freepmail wagglebee to subscribe or unsubscribe from the homosexual agenda ping list.

Be sure to click the FreeRepublic homosexual agenda keyword search link for a list of all related articles. We don't ping you to all related articles so be sure to click the previous link to see the latest articles.

Add keywords homosexual agenda to flag FR articles to this ping list.

Yes, the vote was secret, it was deceitful, and as sure as night follows day, homosexual Scout Leaders will be the very next step, or maybe transgenders or whatever they're called when they still have all the parts but dress up as females. Who knows. At any rate, keep your boys far away, and there are many good alternatives, on this thread:

And Now It Begins: Catholic Groups Rise Up to Replace the Boy Scouts. But read the thread and there are links to many other alternatives, non-Catholic ones as well.

Anyone wanting on/off any of my ping lists, freepmail me.

Already the homo activitsts are agitating for homosexual Scout Leaders.

It’s over, accept it.

We, meaning I, voted on delegates that knew the gist of the council thought.

My council was opposed to the change.

Our delegates were appointed by council. The rank and file had no input.

Can someone here maybe a former scout, tell me what does the phrase “openly gay scout” mean anyway?? These kids are minors and should not be engaging in sex at all. I’m being sincere what does it mean? That they can act out effeminate? Talk about how cute another boy is? Talk about their gay dads sex life? Wear makeup? Do they have a list of what “openly gay” behaviors are Ok and which ones are not?

What is needed is an alternative.

There is a segment of current membership battling for control, over the organization’s assets around the country.

There is a very strong membership segment, willing to sacrifice Scouting’s straight membership, for themselves in order to gain control over the organization itself.

If they continue with this, there should be a way for proportionally allocating the national assets of BSA and splitting it apart.

Boys of 16-18 develop strong sexual desires. If a scout developed an attraction for members of his own gender and let others know about it, he was openly gay whether any sex took place or not. The former BSA policy was DADT.

(These are the thoughts of a one-time Boy Scout and the father of two Eagle Scouts.)

OK THANKS, I really didn’t have anyone around here to ask. So if it’s like the repeal of DADT as in the military, didn’t they see that it hasn’t worked out very well?

Bible verses not allowed in this discussion

I'm sorry, did you forget to include "Admin/Moderator" in your tag line so we would know you had the power to determine what is allowed in the discussion?

“Those who think about the BSA as you do are a minority of a minority of a minority.”

As you may have noticed by now, YOURS is the minority opinion here, and you’ve been treated with a surprising amount of respect for your opinion, despite calling one of many posters here who disagree with you a coward.

Think openly gay pedophile scoutmasters aren’t next on the BSA’s A-OK list?

It’s all about destroying traditional American institutions.

Didn’t you hear Hussein say his goal is to “fundamentally transform America”?

I have the courage to defend Scouting while others run away in dismay and fear.

The minority refers to the majority here who are in fact a minority of a minority of Americans. They will be missed from the Scouting family but will not keep scouting from thriving.

I know a few ardent Christians who are moving ahead with starting their own “Scouting” organizations.

So they won’t be buying uniforms from JC Penney, and their sons (and daughters) won’t make “Eagle” (TM, Registered) Scout, but they will have had the COURAGE to stand for their principles without compromising their values.

Few here doubt BSA “Scouting” will “thrive”, but they don’t seem to be interested in Sexuality in Scouting, or facilitating pedophile scoutmasters.

Go figure.

There is a blindness here, scales over the eyes, that prevent seeing reality. The blindness is caused by an affectation with queers that blacks out, that will not allow, any other view. The baby is of no consequence. Throwing out the bath water is all that matters.

The continuation of Scouting is to be promoted warts and all.

One can only wonder why the Catholic church remains when it is a bastion of molestation

I’m half expecting someone to drag out Ace McCain’s 2008 “concession” speech and replace Hussein’s name with “New Scouting”....

“We have nothing to fear from ‘New Scouting’”....

Most have ignorance of scouting. The current program involves developing a cadre of strong leaders that are skilled in the methods for defending youth against the plague of queers and pedophiles. The Youth Protection Program requires biannual review and certification to be registered leader.

There is a constant attempt by churches, especially the large mega churches, to grow the congregation. It is in their interest to attempt to develop a scouting clone. That is a way to eliminate competition for the minds of those who are now scouts. The fact they are a church group doesn’t mean they will not attract the clever bad guys.

It is my belief that the bad guys responsible for the lawsuits brought by corrupt lawyers against the deep pockets of BSA should be sued into total abject poverty. Their entire assets and all future job possibilities in the USA should be removed and destroyed.
