The left wants to destroy any institution or tradition based on Judaeo-Christian foundations.

Sorry Barry, you’ll never be a Boy Scout because they don’t accept homos. Thank God.

Queers will NOT have “access and opportunity” with my children. That could only come from a degenerate.

Somewhere I read that the LGBT population is only 3% of the population yet they commit 33% of sexual crimes against children. I’m willing to bet that the figure is watered down and that the percentage could be higher in respect to pedophelia.

Perhaps we should.

We’ve obviously lifted the ban on low IQ presidents - what with Jimmuh and now the bat-eared b*stard.

Dear President Obama,

I would appreciate an opportunity to take your daughters camping one weekend. I think it would be a very enriching experience for them. You and Michelle would have a relaxing weekend to yourselves while they're gone.

I swear, on my honor, as a heterosexual male, nothing will happen to them. You don't need to waste any taxpayer money by sending Secret Service agents along.

Sincerely,
ArGee

I'm sick about this whole thing. If it passes, I think I'm going to have to go on media blackout like I did after 0's election. What scares me even more than gays in the Scouts are the rainbow merit badges for diversity, tolerance, peace through feng shui, and whatever the hell else the libs can come up with.

I'm currently slated to attend two Scout fundraisers in the next month. If this passes, I don't know what I'm going to do.

I feel the same way.

Admitting and recognizing sodomists isn’t my idea of the BSA; rather it’s going the same way as our infiltrated military.

I really hope BSA has the courage and strength to stand up against this imposition.
Parents want at least one wholesome place where their kids can learn something and be safe.
Scouts should always be prepared. Is BSA prepared for the massive drop in membership that will result if they acquiesce?

As things stand now, for the BSA to admit homosexuals will be the end of the BSA, with the Catholic church, the Mormon church, and several other major churches letting it be known that if they agree to this, they will immediately lose over ONE MILLION Boy Scouts, and any number of church meeting areas.

Likewise, the BSA will lose enormous amounts of money, because their donations will completely dry up, in that liberals are not big on giving to charity, just for the sake of doing so; and corporations are fickle at best, giving only for tax purposes.

On the plus side for the BSA, they will get a bunch of pedophile lawsuits, and any concern for Scouting will go out the window in favor of supporting Democrat politicians. They will have effectively turned the Boy Scouts into a leftist Jugend organization.

If the Scouts lift the ban on queers Obama will be volunteering to be a camp counselor.

Tolerance is one thing, forced tolerance is another thing altogether. It's Tyrrany.
Without the right to say NO!, other rights are pointless.
We all know that the imposition of gayness has nothing to do with rights, tolerance or equality, but everything to do with the willful destruction of yet another old Christian institution.
If they want boy scouts for gays, start a separate organization and see how many signs up without coercion.

Everything that comes out of this man’s mouth is an abomination. I can’t even look at a picture of him or hear his voice because it makes me physically ill.

AT&T are in charge of the pressure. The way I understand it, they,along with Bass Pro Shops and a few others found on an easy google search, are pressuring this withthe threat of withholding money/funding. whoever’s in charge of them is the authority, and, of course BSA who if they wimp out on this are too beholden to financing to be moral leaders.

Big difference. In the military they have to still be discreet or run the risk of getting fragged or blue on blue.

Hmmm... There’s a target on the “freedom to associate” under this regime. Because having the freedom to associate includes the freedom to exclude. *ESPECIALLY* when not excluding puts predator and prey into the same room.

Is anyone noticing the real money quote in what Obama said?

“I think that my attitude is that gays and lesbians should have access and opportunity the same way everybody else does, in every institution and walk of life,”

The reference to "every institution" almost certainly means churches. Every church that teaches Judeo-Christian morality will be in the feds' crosshairs. Mormans and Catholics will be first, but they will come for all of us. Probably first lose tax exempt status and be sued repeatedly with the collusion of the feds. Arrests for hate crimes may follow.

I am trying to rejoice about this (Matthew 5:11-13), but I am too sad for my son. He loves Scouting, and now that will be gone.

Amazing.

I feel the same way!

The phony news networks gush over the intelligence of this simpleton who regurgitates the most boring nonsense!
