They are upset because the Boy Scouts don't help them cope with their sexuality? ... what part of "morally straight" do they not understand????

(Miami Leftists Say Scouts Are Anti-Gay)

And the Buy Scouts are dedicated to raising moral young men. Where's the conflict?

...the local Boy Scouts of America affiliate failed to abide by an agreement requiring it to help gay youths cope with their sexuality.

Did the Boy Scouts fail to do anything or fail to help gay youths in a manner proscribed by local gay groups, i.e. openly allow gays into the Boy Scouts? I suspect the latter since it gives the UW a convenient out while giving the BS a black eye.

Yes, they are - an amazingly subtle machanism for funding the most obscene liberal causes one might imagine! We give directly to March of Dimes and Salvation Army! We avoid United Way, Combined Federal Campaign, et.al., like plague since discovering where at least a portion of their money goes (it ain't pretty!!).

United Way chapters in university towns and big cities (RAT cesspools) have blackballed the Boy Scouts. The United Way chapter in my neighborhood still supports the Scouts. However, I will not donate my money to them. The United Way is an unneccessary middle man. In fact, the United Way administrators "earn" their living by being middle men. We ought to donate our money directly to the charities of our choice instead of wasting our time and earnings with the United Way.

The United Way will cave on this issue if participants in Miami Dade take a stand and cut funding to the United Way, both through individual contributions and through any city or county grants that UW is receiving.

This was successfully accomplished several years ago in Winston-Salem, NC, partly through the leadership of conservative Republican Alderman Vernon Robinson, who is currently running for Congress in the 5th district.

Even though Winston-Salem is smaller and different than Miami, there are lessons that apply to Miami/Dade. The fact is pressure will cause the United Way to reverse course, if Conservatives show their principles and backbone.

The first step is to begin to rally the troops. Bump this thread and ping anyone you know in the Miami area!

Point of order…Homosexual propaganda 101as seen in the Lib Media

ANTI-Gay assumes anti-person…the BSA is NOT anti-person only anti-immoral-behavior.

The Boy Scouts "dealt with their sexuality" quite appropriately...they told the gays to stay away from other boys by getting the hell out of the Boy Scouts!

The grant serves primarily to pay the salaries of scout leaders in low-income areas including Little Havana, Liberty City, Homestead and Hialeah. About 4,200 kids, most between ages 6 and 17, will be directly affected by the cuts, she said.

The liberals are eating their own. The pink-tights and feather boas contingent of the Lib-Dem Party has strongarmed the UW into taking away funds earmarked for the children of inner city minorities--the Democrats' most loyal voting block.

United Way in Dade ends Boy Scout funding

Well, then I certainly hope that the decent, traditional American families of Dade end their United Way funding. I know I will never give a dime to those disgusting scumbags.

Have a great day,
LH

Yes, the United Way IS like this all over America.

I first found out that United Way strongly supports Planned Parenthood and lesbian dominated Girl Scouts programs a while back and made sure that nothing that ever gets my monies goes through the United Way.

The term "United" Way actually referrs to all that is pc.

This is very bad for those poor boys in Miami, Florida.
Here's a idea to fight back the NOW control communist United (anti-American) Way in Miami.
Since, U.W. gets over $200 MILLION OF TAX money(Grants) from Congress & the White House, let's contact our elected officals and DEMAND that the Boy Scouts be funded, or else _______ ?! reduce the gov't funding to U.W.
What do you all think ?. It is Florida, Home of Gov. Jeb BUSH, the brother of President BUSH. The Congress is control by the GOPs(Both house's). hmm?
Okay, what about this ave , since U.W. is a NFL Partnership
, let's email,fax,call,etc..The Miami Dolphins players, and community relations, aand demand they HELP the poor Boys in the Boys/Cub Scouts ? Remember alot of these MEN/FATHERS
were former Boy Scouts.
Byy the way, here's the BS line from Miami HOMOsexUall leadership:

Yup it is. Liberal intolerance of traditional lifestyles and values. Boycott the United Way and support your local Boy Scouts directly.
