NEW YORK (AP) — When it comes to gays and the Boy Scouts, President Barack Obama and the youth organization he serves as honorary president have agreed to disagree.

The White House on Wednesday said Obama opposes the youth organization's recently reaffirmed policy of excluding gays as members and adult leaders. He has no plans to resign as honorary president, White House spokesman Shin Inouye said.

“He has no plans to resign as honorary president, White House spokesman Shin Inouye said.”

If he wins the election in November watch him resign from the honorary president of the Boy Scouts within weeks and make a huge public spectacle out of it.

Over-the-top O'bambi "hating" troll calls Prexy the "n" word

There are so many things wrong with 0 that there's no need to stoop to that level.

Cut the “gay” crap. The issue is about homosexuals. In this case, male-on-male sexual attraction. Why should that be forced upon the Boy Scouts?

I just wish that Obama would come out of the closet already everyone knows he’s bisexual

There's no such thing as a "bisexual". Ubanga is a flat out homo on the down low.
His wife and kids are just political props.

Now both party’s nominees support homosexual scout leaders.

They both also support the sodomization of our Military, ENDA legislation and marriage-by-another-name.

In other words, no difference.

It must drive the Dems crazy that the BSA does not use Gov funds.
I remember a while back there was some kind of gov attempt to force Gay
compliance over a building that was rented by the BSA.

I'm surprised that Obama and Co. has yet to claim the BSA uses public roads
and didn't build that jargon to enforce NAMBLA regulations on the BSA.

Hugo Weaving is one of my favorite actors in spite of “The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.”

My first thoughts on reading Mister Anderson’s over-the-top posts were that he was a plant to generate anti-O’Bambi “FReeper” quotes such as his “n” word rant in order to smear Conservatives and Free Republic.

Apparently the mods agreed.

I guess the left will never stop attacking Free Republic, so we must be ever vigilant.

Thanks again, Covenantor!

I like Hugo Weaving also, and am glad that he didn’t get stuck being known only as “Agent Smith.”

I believe that he is too versatile an actor to become typecast. No matter what he does, I always believe him, LOL!

Over-the-top O’bambi “hating”

I’m probably and over the top Marxist Kenyan hater too. That’s why I read once in a while and post very little. I don’t want a ZOT for hating the homo Kenyan Commie. Instead I just read the FR love fest for him and watch the Romney haters who will vote for Soetoro. It’s entertaining, for about 15 minutes, that’s all I can take. maybe after the elections I’ll be back, or maybe not. It depends on how vigorous the Barry love fest gets on here.

I read many of his past posts. It’s a shame he lost his cool and used the n word. I see no other reason he would have been zotted. The N word has no business on FR and IF he did say it, the zot was well deserved.
