War on Terror has been won? Borders are under control? Taxes have been straightened out? Freedoms restored?

No?

Then WTF?

Yes, what about the "CLOSE OUR BORDERS ACT OF 2005"

Nah, that would be too difficult.

This isn't a small matter. The Boy Scouts are an important organization for the youth of America, and without this legislation the Boy Scout Jamboree will be cancelled.

The Jamboree takes place on military bases, and the military provides logistical and other support which by accounting principles is deemed to cost money (if they were going to be on the base anyway I'm not sure if there is any REAL cost, but accounting is accounting).

The ACLU has fought to have this expenditure found in violation of the separation of CHURCH and STATE. Their argument is that since the Boy Scouts require duty to GOD, they are in fact a CHURCH (which is absurd) and therefore the Constitution FORBIDS (it doesn't) the Military from providing ANY AID to the Boy Scouts.

It is time to stop the war on people who have religious faith.

I'll close with this. In this day and age, too many people are looking for offense. But if we are going to all look for offense, it behooves us to offend the fewest people. The "religious" vastly outnumber the "non-religious", so if we are merely talking about offense and annoyance, I say annoy the minority.

If you want to argue that your tax dollars are being spent to support the Boy Scouts, I say that they are a worthy organization to be supported -- much more so than the ACLU or Planned Parenthood, both of whom receive large sums of Government (tax) money.

Strategery, Dead Corpse. Strategery.

This bill forces the leftists to come out against the Boy Scouts. Their doing so will result in a firestorm of criticism. Thus, they will lose support.

Try to look at the big picture. Stuff like this is what gets more peope on our side.
