Eric Holder: If Gay Adults Are Fit for Military Service, They Are Fit to Lead Boy Scouts
CNS News ^ | 06/13/2014 | Susan Jones

The Attorney General of the United States told a homosexual advocacy group on Tuesday night that the Boy Scouts of America "preserves and perpetuates the worst kind of stereotypes" by refusing to allow homosexuals to serve as Boy Scout troop leaders.

"Today, courageous lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals routinely put their lives on the line as members of America's armed services," Holder told Lambda Legal Tuesday night. "And if these men and women are fit for military service, then surely they are fit to mentor, to teach, and to serve as role models for the leaders of future generations."

In June 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5–4 ruling, said the Boy Scouts had a constitutional right, as a private organization, to exclude homosexuals from leadership positions.

Almost nine years later, President Obama came into office, pledging to repeal the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. In December 2010, he signed a bill passed by the Democrat-majority Congress repealing the ban on homosexual men and women serving openly in the armed services.

Holder received a warm reception Tuesday night at the Lambda Legal reception, where he promised that the fight for civil rights and "LGBT equality" remains a "top priority," not only for the Justice Department, but "for me personally."

> Little boys can’t defend themselves against rape, douchebag!

That’s the homo’s wet dream. To be a Boy Scout troop leader and live out their twisted fantasies of raping little boys out in the middle of the woods in tents far removed from their parents.

The boy-scouts are not a military organization, they are a Religiously guided Boy’s organization designed to instill moral values.

Having been a boy-scout I can tell you I would not share a tent with an openly Gay scout, nor would I be comfortable Going on a camping trip with a Gay scout master.

Open and unrepentant sinners are not suited to teach moral values.

Holder gets away with this crap because gutless cowards refuse to stop him.

WE put those gutless cowards there and if we do it AGAIN, the rapes will be on our hands. There is no excuse.

The Butcher of Waco has never struck me as anything other than cold, cunning and calculating, hardly the characteristics of a moron.

Even IF your initial assertion is correct, you are comparing Apples to Oranges, Mr. Holder.

The Boy scouts are a private organization. The military is not.

They were declared “fit” only by law. Some laws are absurd, turning truth itself upside down. I recommend we all obey the law but keep private matters PRIVATE.

“Holder is an IDIOT!”
Well having no moral values of his own holder obliviously doesn’t know or remember the first thing about the Boy Scouts.

You don’t pick open and unrepentant sinners to teach moral values to impressionable young boys.

I don’t care whether they risk their lives in their own sodomite bedchamber or on some battle field.

Gays are mentally disturbed people who should be prevented from serving in the military and certainly are not to be thought of as positive role models for children.

Holder has had many failures of logic. This is one.

Like permitting openly heterosexual males lead Girl Scout camping trips, what could possibly go wrong?

Libtards live in an imaginary universe. Does coconut head have any children that he has raised. Using his logic pediphiles can serve in the military also... let them babysit HIS KIDS...
Like all lib hypocrites they isolate their kids in private schools and double standard everything else... the goal is to go against everything that built this country and sustitute libtard theories for reality.. Libtards are like vomit in the wind. They create problems that blow back on people who dont agree with their twisted political logic. Holder shoudl focus on FAST AND FURIOUS, VA, IRS, CIA CHIEF OF STATION LEAK, SINALOA DRUG CARTEL AND WHY ILLEGAL FELONS WERE RELEASED... No one ever accused him of being smarter than a squirrel.... a political scumbag...

I suspect Holdem is a frustrated rump ranger and just itching to get in the ivy patch with a few young males.

They’re fit to keep shut about their filthy perversion and stay in the closet.

Well, it is easier to recruit for your team if you get them early in life...

That’s critical for dead enders. They have no natural way to reproduce. They are forced to either recruit or adopt- which is why the pressure has been applied to the BSA and same sex marriage. Pedophelia is the bridge.
