No reason for any Conservative, Christian or value-driven Patriot to gave an inch...

Better to lose and be right.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry said emphatically Saturday that the Boy Scouts of America shouldn’t soften its strict no-gays membership policy, and dismissed the idea of bending the organization to the whims of “popular culture.”

Sigh. What could have been. I realize he had his flaws and the pain of the then-recent back surgery kept Governor Rick Perry from his normal ability to articulate well, but imagine a man of such Conservatism (and unapologetic Christianity) serving as the Commander in Chief.

Perry gets it right. Morally straight has the same meaning it had 100 years ago when the Scouts were founded. Powell knew what he was doing, which is why the Scouts grew to be the largest organization of boys and young men in the world. Now the homosexual activists want access to this group for their own interests, which are first and foremost sexual in nature. Kind of like an all you can eat buffet. This needs to be fought like the cancer it is. For the sake of the boys.

“Gayness” is such a warping and misdirection of what God created masculine relationships (and selfhood) to be. It would turn Boy Scouts into a farce.

I hope Rick runs again for President. I think he will find a more attentive electorate.

We really missed the boat this last cycle. What could have been..

I wonder if Intel and other companies will now withdraw funding from girl scouts unless they allow heterosexual boys to share tents with teen girl scouts.

I like Perry but in the last election, his debating and oratory skills really killed him. Maybe he can take the next four years to strengthen those skills and run again in 2016.

The last time the Boy Scouts tried to be politically correct, it was a disaster. In the early 1970s, they decided to “urbanize” Scouting, when they were caught up in shades of Sesame Street and The Outsiders. Hey! It was “trendy!”

They not only made the least popular edition of the Scout manual, ever, replacing outdoorsmanship with urban sociology and liberal agenda items; but they made the mistake of inviting a herd of “inner city yoots” to one of their major eastern reservations for summer camp.

The yoots rioted, vandalized the heck out of the place, threw their mattresses in a large creek, destroyed the kitchen equipment and trashed the food. As well as slashing the tires of the buses that took them to camp.

So yeah, it’s been about 40 years since their last really huge foul up.
