This is part of a co-ordinated MSM attack on the boy scouts.

The basic reason for this attack is that the scouts promote love of God, family, country, and moral and ethical living.

Efforts to destroy the scouts focus on making it expensive for them to continue by denying them use of public facilities. This is an attack on their income.

They also successfully resisted a fag takeover.

Harrassment of BSA will not end.

in order for them to leave the BSA alone would be if they had an anal sex merit badge and made the badge an eagle requirement.

This sounds like what politicians like to do, go by the letter of the contract to get away with what the benefactor wouldn’t have approved of.

By the sound if it, he gave the land so the kids could do their scouting activities on it, and the BSA just blew off his wishes. Warning to anybody else who wants to donate to the BSA.

The soon-to-be-dead Seattle P-I (Pravda on Puget Sound) has also been running this story - on page one, of course. The leftist media hates decency as we all know.

My father had a farm in Pennsylvania that he was going to give to my brother but gave to the Boy Scouts when my brother died. I don’t think any of us have ever regretted it. I don’t care what they did with it, it was a gift.

Again, more greenie spin: Scout councils defend logging of their lands

Over the past 35 years, the council has repeatedly logged the property, collecting hundreds of thousands of dollars. Some of the money helped pay the mortgage on council headquarters in far-off Spokane, a former council board member says.

This is horrible. If the Boy Scouts had any sense of decency they would ask the government to pay their mortgage. Where do they get off doing it themselves and using their own darned resources to pay their bills? They should be ashamed of themselves.

I’ll give you ten-to-one odds that Kamb is of the same sexual persuasion as Bwaney Fwank.

What's wrong with the Scouts using THEIR land to grow renewable lumber? Is it the non-obstructionist, capitalist flavor that the liberals are choking on? Or is it the fact that a group of Scouts is demonstrating responsible stewardship of the land and still making a profit? Or is it the fact that it is a group of SCOUTS making the money?

Something tells me that if the ACLU was logging a private site for profit, the Lefties wouldn't have a thing to say.

Good grief. Logging the property. That’s horrible! You’re supposed to let all the trees mature, die, and rot, and then have a good, hot forest fire. That’s the envirowhacko way.

No doubt about it NP. Taking down the Boy Scouts is second only to taking down our nations churches.

A google search of "lewis kamb" and "gay" yields lots of hits. If it's gay, you'll find Lewis Kamb on it. No question about his bias on this issue.
