Actually, Edwards wouldn't because he is a morally bankrupt scumbag, but I get your point.
Jerri,
I bet you are a good and kind person and I admire your willingness to stand up for your city, but this is the wrong site to be siding with the sodomites.
FRegards,

I hope NOT.
Probably because in 1928 Philadelphia was widely known as the cradle of liberty and independence. Now it's known only for murder and corruption, but it was not always thus.
The Scouts are 100% correct in their rules to prevent homosexuals becoming leaders. Of the molestation’s of boys, the majority are done by homosexuals, in a far disproportionate percentage to their percentage of society in general (<10%).
There are just laws, and there are unjust laws. This is an unjust law. And BTW, the City of Philadelphia is breaking an AGREEMENT based upon this bogus law. So its ok for cities to go against their word is it Hmmmmm? The only compromise is for the city to back down and honor its previous agreement (which predate - grandfathered, this “law”).
the boy scouts offer an alternative outlook on life that is pretty bleak IMO in Philly...
its all according to the plan......kill off the middle class, and have one huge peasantry.....it makes things cleaner for totalitarianism you know....
The bell was prophetic. It cracked just like the city.
I stopped biking there a few years ago. Even though I live in the Philly suburbs, I’d like to entreat all of you:
DO NOT VISIT PHILADELPHIA.
Don’t spend one single cent there. Don’t buy ANYTHING that’s made within the city limits. Don’t attend any sporting or social events there—look in the surrounding (GOP) counties instead. It may mean that I have to stop it with the TastyKakes, but maybe my weight will drop. These leftists need to be taught a lesson. As far as I’m concerned, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania ENDS at the Philadelphia county line and what lies beyond are hostile lands.
I’ll say one thing for Philly: The cheesesteaks at Tony Luke’s on Oregon Avenue are awesome!
Of course, I’ll bet the guys hanging out there support the Scouts.
If memory serves, the ACLU defended NAMBLA from a $200MM lawsuit brought on by grieving parent whom had their son raped and killed by a NAMBLA member. Anyone else remember this?
“There are just laws, and there are unjust laws. This is an unjust law.”
Because you say so, apparently.
“And BTW, the City of Philadelphia is breaking an AGREEMENT based upon this bogus law.”
If the agreement had been to bar blacks, would the agreement stand? Of course not. Civil rights would trump $1 rental agreements. You undoubtedly find this to be a flawed comparison, but many others do not. So the disagreement continues.
I think this situation is unfortunate, my father was an eagle scout, and he loves the organization... but the city can’t allow you to discriminate and simultaneously receive public tax dollars.
“DO NOT VISIT PHILADELPHIA.”
All the major US cities I know of are liberal, so what are you supposed to do? There are only so many trips you can take to the dairy farm.
“Philly law does not take precedence over Constitutional law. “
I don’t think the courts will support the idea that charging market rates to rent is an unfair burden to expressive association.
The BSA is one of the last remants of our sane society. They are attacking it with all the armor they can. Anything christian moral, is evil in their eyes.
Amazing
Anything with christian content has to be destroyed. This is an attack against every American past present and future.
“I bet you are a good and kind person and I admire your willingness to stand up for your city, but this is the wrong site to be siding with the sodomites.”
Plenty of Freepers, including myself, have gay friends and don’t see them as the menace that many here do. I don’t think it’s particularly a liberal idea to coexist peacefully with your neighbors.
Personally though, it’s more aggravating for me to witness so many bash a city they know little about.
The food, the music, the nightlife... it’s all great here. The architecture is fantastic... the history is all around...
Every city has blighted areas. Are they all hellholes?
