The ACLU has argued that government sponsorship - which includes funding - of the Boy Scout troops violates the constitutional guarantee of religious freedom because the Scouts swear an oath that includes affirming duty to God.

Guess the ACLU has no problem with portraying themselves as nothing but a cult of devil worshipers.

The Boy Scouts are doing the right thing, but it's not what their enemies wanted. They were supposed to cave; kick God out while welcoming homos in.

Sever the ties, shut the aclu up.

Something must be done to stop the terrorism on Americans being conducted by the aCLU.

Actually, it's for the best. The scouts should never have been funded with public monies.

California-based Scouting for All, a national non-profit educational and advocacy organization, reaches out to gay youth and is trying to get the Boy Scouts to rescind its policy against gays and atheists.

What a revolting development! Is there a web site that takes donations for the BSA? As a former Cub Scout, I will happily give something back to the organization that provided some guidance and fun as a youth.

It may be reaching the time when Christians come out of this evil society, governed by godless organizations such as the ACLU. Churches need to study the pattern of the city of Ave Maria, FLA, a Catholic city in the making. There are many dying towns in our agricultural heartland that could be repopulated with Christians who are tired of the ACLU running their schools and their city governments. A few hundred modern day settlers could go to these communities and establish Christan churches and schools. Think of the money that would be saved with no public school taxes to pay and very little crime and no city government to speak of. We really need to separate ourselves from Godless people who drag us down spiritually and economically. We owe it to our children to nurture them in a much more supportive environment for the growth of their faith.

Rabbi Robert Scheinberg of the United Synagogue of Hoboken, where the troops meet, objects to the Scouts' anti-gay policies

Which policy is that? The one where responsible adults don't want homosexuals spending the night in small tents with little boys? How unreasonable!

Sadly, the Girl Scouts of America on the other hand is a puppet of the ACLU, NARAL, and Planned Parenthood. amoing other things, they have Planned Parenthood speakers at national meetings. Just today I had a girl scout come to my door to sell cookies. I gave her a couple bucks 'for herself' (so she wouldn't be sad) but I told her that I could not buy any cookies.

The ACLU is focused on half of the First amendment. They are hot to quote the "establishment clause", but they fail to acknowledge the rest.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The mere fact that the ACLU is PAID with taxpayer money for civil rights cases is a violation of the second part of the First Amendment. The law finances an attack on the free exercise of religion with the ACLU attack dogs taking taxpayer money to make the attack. Congress made that law and it is a direct violation when that money is used in this fashion.

What we need is for the government to stop subsidizing all these frivolous ACLU lawsuits. The GOP needs to grow some balls and do something.

Has anyone actually ever sued the ACLU for violating their civil liberties?

Who cares?

America loves lawyers and will do anything EXCEPT change this system so this kind of nonsense doesn't happen.

The left found it could use lawyer worship to get it's way.

People will cry and moan, and then just used to it.

Then, the ACLU will move on the next victim.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

This legal terrorism by the ACLU against the BSA is as good as ANY reason for modern day civil warfare as I've ever seen. Just like the Confederates at Ft Sumter, NC. We need to fire a few cannon rounds and lay siege to the ACLU headquarters.

My family was Scout family. We were told by our leaders
that Scout Groups should be organized from natural play
groups in the neighborhood and to meet in one another's
homes. This worked pretty well except the jewish children
would not speak up when we celebrated Christmas and other
holidays and parents got upset when we sang Christmas Carols. Communication is important from the parents because
leaders want their Scouts to be compatible and to learn to
get along.
The group began to fall apart at age 13 when the boys
began to feel that Scouts was "baby stuff". Our boys grew up to be well educated professioals and polite to others and with outdoor skills they would not have had without Scouts.
More effort needs to be made to get along, among the
parents as well as the boys.
