He's probably afraid they would be too great a temptation.

What Senator Duane does in the privacy of his bedroom is his business, but using his public office to discriminate against the Boy Scouts for disagreeing with his views is a betrayal of public trust.

Just as he has a right to his point of view, the Boy Scouts (a private, non-profit organization) has the right to theirs.

Being a merit badge counselor is a great way to support Scouting with little time output.

Who would have ever thought they'd see the day when a Senator condemns the Boy Scouts of America and calls for them to be banned from their Govenor's mansion. It's almost unbelievable. And to think that these people are wondering why they can't seem to win the heart of America.

Keep it up democrats- it just means more victories for us.

When I had a job that "required" us to make a donation each year to the United Way, I always designated mine for the Boy Scouts of America.

The question is whether an organization's discrimination is unfair. The Supreme Court has ruled it's not.

No the Supreme Court ruled that the Boy Scout's discrimination was legal. Whether or not the discrimination is fair or unfair depends on one's point of view.

Very good post! Scouting has a lot to offer boys, I gained a lot from it.

I'm almost at my limit with faggots and muslims demanding I adhere to their beliefs with full acceptence and my blessings. BITS is on it's way. I am not prescient, but our citizens can only take so much.

We can't always get what we want...Duane. The Boy Scouts are far more important than your petty psycho-sexual issues.

Respect the Boy Scouts traditional beliefs.

I bet he doesn't complain to muslims about their beliefs!

I want gay sinators kept out of the executive mansion. How's that? Go do the "bone dance with Mr. Sphincter"---(credit Jim Quinn)---somewhere else, you pervert. How's that?

My son receives the Arrow of Light tomorrow and moves up to Boy Scouts. I'm hoping the snow is not as bad as predicted here in NJ.

The job has gone so well in Afghanistan that it looks like they'll be able to send Afghan Scouts to the World Jamboree.

Thanks. I had no idea.
