This is why I say "Rumsfeld for President!"
The Boy Scouts do so much good for teens, then the ACLU comes slong and wants to drag everyone down to their level of mud. I hope Rumsfeld ignores any directives against the Boy Scouts and this becomes an issue that turns against the ACLU and their left-wing shenanigans.
Hoppy
So why doesn't Bush just issue an executive order saying that the Boy Scouts can keep meeting on military bases? If the ACLU wants to take this to court, let them.
The ACLU really inhales immensely!
The Boy Scouts were getting in the way of the homosexual agenda and that made the ACLU mad. Now it's get even time for them.
