Scott Walker backtracks on reaction to gay Boy Scout leaders
Politico ^ | 07/15/2015 | Adam Lerner

Posted on 07/15/2015 3:01:13 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Scott Walker stumbled over his own prior comments Wednesday, saying that when he called on the Boy Scouts to reinstate a ban on gay leaders because it “protected children,” he meant the ban protected them from media scrutiny.

“The protection was not a physical protection,” Walker said Wednesday at an event in South Carolina, according to The New York Times. Rather, the Wisconsin governor continued, he was referring to “protecting them from being involved in the very thing you’re talking about right now, the political and media discussion about it, instead of just focusing on what Scouts is about, which is about camping and citizenship and things of that nature.”

The actual homosexuals, yes.

The number of their supporters/endorsers/empathizers?

Many...including the government and media.

Television shows and movies depicting homos as “fun loving”, “cute”, “innocent”, effeminate, etc. have done much to gain them many supporters who are blissfully unaware of the realities of homosexuality.

Ask an 18 year old what AIDS is and its primary vector. They couldn’t tell you.

Ask a hetero supporter of homos if they’ve ever been to or are aware of what happens at the Folsom Street Fair...

Ya, well Trump won’t even utter the word GAY or LGBT. He’s not going there because he agrees with their agenda.

What about protecting young scouts from bad examples of misplaced sexual attraction?

Thought Scouts were big on good example.

Thought they were big on healthy body and misplaced sexual acts are demonstrably unhealthy

Homosexuals should not be unjustly discriminated against, but you boys should not be subjected to unhealthy lifesyles at a young age. It is unjust too.

Nope and the BSA was infected with PC back in the late ‘90s and formalized in 2000 when they introduced “diversity” in the Wood Badge course...

The infestation is quite thorough...many long time Scouters I’ve worked with are PRO-homo...and most of those, that I can tell, are heteros...they’ve been indoctrinated.

I have about 4.5 months left...2-3 Scouts working on Eagle and helping a friend doing a Wood Badge course. It’s early enough to let another friend I was helping with our 2016 Camporee know that I’ll be dropping out so that he can find a replacement.

I will not be renewing my membership under any circumstances. The BSA is dead to me.

Yet another flip flop in a long line of many flip-flops.

How many does that make it now?

His first reaction was the right reactions. Kids aren’t safe.

Parents, get your boys out of boy scouts and your girls out of girl scouts, and if you trust your local people in your rural area, for example, then never, ever send them to a big gathering.

The best idea is just get them out. Don’t send money to that corrupt regime.

I’m not linking to politico or to salon or to any of the other libtard sites.

If those sites have to be excerpted, why post their articles?

What else did Governor Walker say, if you know?

First and foremost it’s about giving young boys male role models.

I lost count with this guy on flip flops. Must be very disappointing to his supporters that his campaign launch has basically gone down in a fizzle.

How many around here are not employed or pensioned by the government? Not many at all, I’m nearly absolutely sure. It’s been increasingly obvious since around 2004, that private sector people aren’t welcome here.

And yes, that has everything to do with the obscene socialist propaganda against an American-born candidate by those who pretend to favor big spending Republicans for the sake of Hillary.

We can make much better use of our time than chatting with gangs of civilian government employees and civilian government pensioners.

Of course it’s about protecting the children. For crying out loud it’s like male adults having unfettered access to teenage girls. Somethings going to happen after a while and it’s not going to be good.

This is not the same BSA I was in all those years ago.

I was also in the BSA. I rose to the rank of Life and my brother made Eagle.

The changes in the BSA are reflected in the official themes of their Jamborees, the national gathering of scouts held every few years. These themes were once patriotic and God-centered: "Strengthen Liberty" (1950), "Forward on Liberty's Team" (1953), "Onward for God and Country" (1957), "God and Country" (1960). More recent themes have been "Celebrating the Adventure, Continuing the Journey" (2010) and "Go Big. Get Wild" (2013). The theme for 2017 is "Live Scouting's Adventure."
