Trump shows the Boy Scouts how to start a political fire
Washington Post ^ | July 25, 2017 | John Raby and Kevin McGill

No knot-tying demonstrations. No wood-carving advice. President Donald Trump went straight to starting a fire in a speech at a national Boy Scout gathering.

Parents, former Scouts and others were furious after Trump railed against his enemies, promoted his political agenda and underlined his insistence on loyalty before an audience of tens of thousands of school-age Scouts in West Virginia on Monday night.

“Is nothing safe?” Jon Wolfsthal, a former special assistant to President Barack Obama, wrote on Twitter, saying Trump turned the event into a “Nazi Youth rally.”

The Trump speech to the Boy Scouts was an unqualified success. The Scouts loved Trump's speech and cheered enthusiastically.

The Washington Post responded by calling the Boy Scouts Nazis and throwing a hissy fit.

Obama missed their 100th, to raise money for the DNC...

Coming from the administration that had the IRS and EPA go after political enemies, has the NSA SPY on Trump and elected politicians for political dirt and encouraged illegals to VOTE.

F*CK YOU

Trump shows the Boy Scouts how to start a political fire>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

You mean like Obama did with ACORN , Black Lives Matter,
and Homeland Security Youth Corps?

The difference is that Obama was using his initiative to take America apart.

President Trump is lighting his fire to bring America together.

Go for it President Trump...LIGHT THOSE FIRES!

Of course the dregs in the Washington Post are not allowed to talk about the substance of President Trump’s inspiring speech to the Boy Scouts. Nor would the Post mention that Obama did not bother with the Boy Scouts, except to force them to renounce part of the Boy Scout pledge to be “morally straight.”

The speech was a resounding success. Are there too many small minded leftists in the BSA these days?

Now all the BSA have to do is get rid of the homosexual influence in their hiring and troop leaders. Until then, I have no use for BSA or GSA . . . none.

Keep comparing Boy Scouts to Nazis and you will win more votes. You Dems are out of touch with both reality and the American people.

The socialist-democrats and MSM/Hollywood perverts are furious that thousands of young boys will fight back against pedophilia and homosexual rape. Even after that POS tillerson opened the the door to sexual predators to invade the ranks of the boy scouts, there is still a bit of rule of law and decency in their ranks.

Rich coming from leftist Democrats who turn every event no matter how inappropriate into political theater without a qualm. One of the most disgusting things I have ever seen was Paul Wellstone’s funeral and Democrats drove every nauseating bit of that.

Boy, isn’t THAT the truth. It was so apalling and the Dems just lapped it up. Not a smidgen of decency.

My grandfather worked for the Boy Scouts of America back in the 20’s and 30’s. Led a big Jamboree to Europe in 1933. I’m sure he would be horrified at the dems of today, infiltrating the Boy Scouts, etc.
Horrible.
