The Cradle of Liberty Council has been fighting the good fight against the Philadelphia City Council since 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cradle_of_Liberty_Council_v._City_of_Philadelphia

BSA is in a "perfect storm" right now which reflects the larger cultural war in America. BSA is under assault from ...

1. Court ordered release of the ineligible (perversion) volunteer member files. This may well lead to more lawsuits against BSA. This is 1 strategy the anti-BSA crowd is using to financially break the BSA.

2. MSM is supporting BHO's agenda of crushing all things opposed to homosexual special rights. Look for BHO to resign his title of "Honorary President" of the BSA by FEB 2013 (BSA 102nd Anniversary is 2/08, Founder's (Lord Baden-Powell) Day is 2/22.)

3. In the past decade, the U.S. military has been forced by the ACLU to break its strong informal tie with the BSA because of BSA's religious declaration policy (under the guise of "separation of church and state"). Military bases can no longer charter BSA units on their property. The Army forced BSA off its Ft. A.P. Hill (VA) reservation after BSA's 2010 national jamboree. The Army started hosting the jambo there in 1980. It was held every 4 years.

4. Randall Stephenson, CEO of AT&T (and currently a member of the BSA's National (volunteer) Executive Board), pledged in 2012 to work inside BSA to change its membership policy to include homosexuals and atheists. Stephenson is expected to be selected as the BSA national president (volunteer) in 2014.

5. Pressure is increasing for more United Way chapters (~1,200 across the land) to deny funding BSA local councils (~200 across the land) because of BSA's discriminatory membership policy against open homosexuals and atheiests. ~70 local UW chapters have struck BSA from their eligible recipient rolls over the last 10 years.

6. As corporate America embraces diversity, more company human resources departments are re-writing their corporate charitable donation policies to exclude giving to non-profit groups which practice "discrimination". Zach Wahls, the 21 year-old Eagle Scout and son of 2 lesbians, founded the pansexual advocacy group, "Scouts for Equality" in 2012. He has been successful during the last 2 months in lobbying Intel Corp. and UPS to drop BSA from their approved charitable recipient list. And now, Merck Pharmaceuticals has done the same.

7. The 2nd largest Christian denomination which charters BSA units (packs, troops, crews) is the UMC. It is currently reviewing its relationship with the BSA. There is much concern that the charter organziations, i.e., primarily churches, are worried that they too may face lawsuits stemming from pedophile incidents within their sponsored units. They are concerned that they would have to acquire additional insurance to guard against potential lawsuits.

8. At some point in the near future, it would not be surprising to see the 4 mainline protestant denominations, i.e., UCC, TEC, ELCA, and PCUSA, sever their relations with BSA and stop sponsoring scouting units because these denominations are moving towards full acceptance of homosexuality in the church.

It won’t be long until a boy will have to declare he is gay just to get into the scouts. The first badge will be awarded when you provide observable proof to troop leaders, you are indeed gay.

Sarcasm...perhaps for the time being.

BSA is making the same mistake as republicans, instead of soem type of advertising - “We are scouts and we have principles, sometimes men with bad intentions have been leaders, they see young men as prey. They have many problems, when we try to exclude them the courts and many cities call us foul names, but we want to protect our young men and we know who are the primary problems.” (now how difficult would that be?)

Years ago when United Way, under pressure from Levi Strauss stopped giving to the BSA. With my late stepdad being a former Scout Master, naturally this got under my skin. I haven’t given to UW, nor worn a pair of levi’s or dockers since.

This is why I don’t give to any foundation or group like the United Way. I give directly to the BSA.

So, I can presume Merck CEO Kenneth C. Frazier is a faggot? What kind of company wants to cut off the Boy Scouts of America because the Boy Scouts think it’s a bad idea to let homosexuals take little boys off into the woods?

The Merck Foundation says the Boy Scouts' exclusion of gays from its ranks and leadership positions conflicts with giving guidelines and the company's nondiscrimination policy.

It is a pretty sad state of affairs when an organization like the Merck Foundation so clearly demonstrates its lack of common sense, and it's willingness to put young people at risk by mindlessly supporting highly questionable and risky behavior.

Homosexuality and pedophilia go hand-in-hand. Is the Merck Foundation that ignorant? Just what aberrant behavior is the organization planning to support next? Merck clearly cares not for the safety, mental, and physical health of the people.

If the boy rape mob wins, the Scouts should sell of property and shut down. Give the money to another Christian organization.

An child’s organization that makes way for the homo rape of boys in the woods within tents, is not a public service and opposite of Christian service.

They will get sued out of business by victims if they don’t close honorably. They should try to hold on as long as possible but liberals are hungry for that boy butt.

Six to one that none of these anti-BSA whinners have never taken the BSA Youth Protection Training.

Makes me happy to think people like Wal-Mart are busting Merck’s ass with generic medications.

I’m keeping catalog on who is coming down on the Boy Scouts. I will not engage in any commerce with whoever does.

We may not be individual giants, but together with a common Conservative cause, we can be the Titans of Liberty. Hell, there are at least 150 million of us big and small.
