You sound like an idiot. You figure the Boy Scouts of America is a profit-making organization?

So therefore, every non-profit organization in Philadelphia should get free land from the city.

Your statement is a non-sequitor.

It’s now been established on the thread that the boy scouts built this building with their funds, and the City gets plenty of benefits from the Boy Scouts.

Yes, the Boy Scouts do deserve public help. Such as allowing the boy scout troops to use schools for meetings, etc. The benefits to the community in reducing juvenile delinquency and building up solid citizens more than pays for the minor costs involved, which is less than the maintenance of a park or two.

“So therefore, every non-profit organization in Philadelphia should get free land from the city.”

Did or did not the city of Philidelphia, in 1928, sign a written contract agreeing to the arrangement?

It matters not a wit how ill-advised the “bargain” may have been, or with some now appears to be. Contract law is binding on all parties — even the PC variety.

For 79 years the arrangement worked well for the city’s image, and thus to its advantage — including that of attracting morally-upright families, thus increasing the cities tax base. Otherwise, the contract would not have been agreed upon in the first instance.

The arrangement was never questioned until the sodomites took control of Philidelphia, in similar fashion where they have acquired control of every other city and organization — through the silence and inaction of “good” men.

Ironically, the purpose of the Boy Scouts is the formation of character, so to bring about a citizenry of good men, whom may rise in their adulthood to sound leadership — precisely the reason why sodomites desire the destructioon of the BSA. Good leaders must needs be moral men, not weak, easily manipulated, gutter trolls.

Liberals have no use for men of reason and moral character. Let’s not help their cause by advocating tax envy. The contract ought stand a court challenge.
