Let’s see....homosexual adult male, impressionable young boys.

What could possibly go wrong?

Guess the term “boy scout” has an entirely new meaning, not?

In any case, I no longer give a smelly Obama about them.

If the BSA were really “standing firm” against gay troop leaders, they wouldn’t have elected a new President who said he would have voted to ALLOW such leaders. Although Gates says he’s going to leave the issue alone, I don’t believe that for a second. The gay lobby is planting in-the-closet gay leaders who will come out and then squeal like stuck pigs when they are kicked out. (This just happened.) There will be an outcry every time this happens and eventually the BSA will be worn down and allow gay troop leaders. Count on it.

This is just the initial seep. The policy didn’t officially go into effect, and Trail Life didn’t launch, until 5 months ago.

Next year is likely to see triple that decline, if not much more.

Good! Cull the herd of the sicko’s and the rest will grow strong.
Let the Faggots form their own group - Gay Scouts of Amerika.

Birth rates are down too-——that may explain some of it.

“BSA sees 6% Decline in Membership...Stands Firm on Banning Openly Gay Leaders”

And from the article:
, one year after announcing the inclusion of openly-gay members

Why is the Christian Post running propaganda?

The headline implies...one would reasonably think there were a lot of BSA members and their families who were protesting the non inclusion of gays.

And that’s tremendous, because there is a low single digit percentage of gays in the population, as always has been.

And one would assume it is a tenth of that within organizations dedicated to formation of boys to men, that is for at least a decade until it is completely taken over as would appear to be the goal.

But not one year.

Here’s the first line:

“... one year after announcing the inclusion of openly-gay members”

Which is actually the cause of the decline, one would reasonably think.

Is the Christian Post an anti Christian propaganda outlet?

This is so insultingly blatant, it was difficult to read on.

The absolute truth. The current organization is just an insulting parody of the Scouts of my youth.

"Given the strong feelings involved among our volunteers on both sides of this matter, I believe strongly that to reopen the membership issue or try to take last year's decision to the next step would irreparably fracture and perhaps even provoke a formal, permanent split in this movement with the high likelihood that neither side would survive on its own. That is just a fact of life," Gates asserted.
Translation: We'd do it if we thought we could get away with it.

I had several people tell me they wouldn’t let their youg sons join the “gay” scouts. Back 40 yrs ago or so, I used to hitchhike across america to see the country. It never failed that around dusk some faggot would offer you a ride. Fortunately, I jumped out of a few cars and never got directly accosted by these deviates. If being homo is so natural, now why do they seek to draw young boys into their despicable lifestyle? Oh, that’s right, they can procreate on their own!

“Next year is likely to see triple that decline, if not much more.”

If so, or when, look for propaganda media to run with such a headline:

“BSA Sees Steep Decline in Membership; Stands Firm on Banning Openly Gay Leaders”

You know, to sway the casual headline reader into thinking the gay population takes up over a quarter% of the population and are protesting the BSA for not accommodating them.

Such twisted double talk and outright lying (omitting relevant information and facts) by the BSA...

The personal survey results conducted in 2013 showed by a 2 to 1 margin that the membership of BSA wanted to KEEP the “don't ask, don't tell” policy with regards to homos.

Then the Councils went and selected their delegates and in many cases (WLACC and other lib enclaves) denied access to these delegates by the membership so their voices/preferences could be heard and then supposedly, vote accordingly.

That the delegates then voted 2 to 1 in favor of changing the policy says just about all one needs to know.

The deck was stacked from within the mahogany halls of BSA National...

I do not understand how the BSA brought in a president who has publicly stated that all entities, not just the BSA, should allow openly gay leaders to lead children and people. He has publicly stated that he wants the BSA to have openly gay leaders.

This country has embraced the sick perversion of homosexuality as normal, that we go on to celebrate this sickness and promote it, and then we go on to create hate crimes or create an environment where people lose their jobs if they disagree with this sickness.

Homosexuality is a judgement on America and this president of the BSA is a tool to further the judgement.

This needs to be pointed out consistently - homosexuality will not bring judgement upon our country; homosexuality IS the judgement. Romans 1:26 starts with “For this reason” and continues “God gave them up to vile passions.” “..men with men committing what is shameful”; so this is a judgement upon our society.

It also continues and says that they give approval to others for more and more evil acts. We see this today with our legislatures accepting homosexual marriages and the teaching of it as acceptable in the schools.

Note also that Romans 1:32 points out that those who approve of such conduct are just as guilty as those who engage in it.

Get your children out of the BSA (and out of the public schools.)

I’ve often wondered .... Is same-sex attraction pedophilia to be classified as a type or sub-set of homosexuality too?

Or is it in a class by itself?
