President Donald Trump brought his bombastic politics to a Boy Scouts event Monday in West Virginia, drawing cheers from the children gathered at the event and prompting comparisons between his rousing rhetoric and Nazi youth rallies from some liberal activists and journalists.
The president, the first sitting U.S. commander-in-chief to address the group since George W. Bush, used his speech to slam the "fake news," demand loyalty from administration officials and advocate for the overhaul of federal health care. He spoke to about 40,000 people at the Boy Scouts of America 2017 National Scout Jamboree.
"As the scout law says, a scout is trustworthy, loyal," Trump said, before adding, "We could use some more loyalty, I will tell you that." As he spoke, the crowd chanted "U.S.A" and applauded, prompting some critics of the president, who has the lowest approval ratings in modern history, to compare his rhetoric to the Hitler Youth, a wing of Germany’s Nazi party.

Would that be the same Hitler youth that would beat people up for opposing their point of view? The same youth that was trained to hate Jewish people? The same that vandalized and looted Jewish business on crystal night? The ones that thought some races are better than others. The ones led by a vegetarian, nonsmoker? This all sounds so familiar.
So, what was objectionable about that speech?
He celebrated the Boy Scouts and urged them to work hard.
He gave them some good advice about keeping up the momentum on their careers, instead of stopping to rest on their laurels.
There was absolutely nothing about that speech that was in the least objectionable. There was one minor dig at Obama, but he was just chastising him for never having attended the Jamboree, which he never did.
To say there was something wrong with this speech is to say there is something wrong with the Boy Scouts. If that’s the way people want to go, have at it.
“I always suspected that was a common pigressive perception of the Scouts”
Was once preparing our troop to march in the Memorial Day parade, having them lineup and stay in formation as we walked across a school soccer field.
A college kid was driving past the school at the time and felt the need to yell “FACISTS!” as he passed.
Not paying attention to his driving, he proceeded to rear-end the PECO truck stopped at the light in front of him.
Instant Karma.
They were fine with the dear leader songs imposed on school children for Barack. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm, Barack Hussein Obama!
FYI:
Shortly after the George Zimmerman verdict, AP reporter Cristina Silva, as noted late last night (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog; HT Breitbart.com) tweeted “So We Can All Kill Teenagers Now? Just Checking.” A short time ago, Colford sent me an email and posted a comment at my home blog as follows: “Clarification, please: Ms. Silva was a temporary AP staffer who hasn’t worked for AP lately. Thanks.”
LOL
I knew they would say that when I heard of the speech.
so predictable
any never trumpers out there wanna chime in too ?
Maybe Trump is making the BOY SCOUTS GREAT AGAIN...at least I hope...
Precisely.
Cheers, ‘Pod.
The more I hear people say that Trump is remotely comparable to Hitler, the more I have to laugh and shake my head at the crybaby antics of these people. Seriously, if he was a genuine fascist dictator, wealthy, educated, dissenters would be seen dead either taken out by government officials and killed, or dead in mysterious accidents. Michael Moore, Al Gore, etc. wouldn’t have a chance. Even more, all the hatred towards Trump proves that they don’t and probably never really cared about the issues they claim to care about.
They went there.
It’s what happens when you reject the Holy Spirit; and call good evil and evil good.
To me, the new owners who paid $1 for Newsweak paid $1.05 to much.
[The Boy Scouts today are so NOT Hitler Youth.
Either the author does not know the Boy Scouts, or they really haven’t read about The Hitler’s Youth.]
Or
1) They don’t care about facts AND
2) They don’t care about truth AND
3) They’re dedicated to spreading as much leftist agitator propaganda as they can
The overwhelming majority of posters were offended and/or ridiculed Yahoo and Newsweek. There were scattered leftist idiots, of course. But very few on that one.

They are sowing for destruction. Happily, I might add. Never in my life saw a politician so mesmerizing (to fools) and as antichrist as Obama. Wish I never had.
While many are just liberal liars, some are obviously quite deceived. I believe it is supernatural, for pretty much the exact reason you gave. Therefore, no argument, no facts, no truth, no logic can turn them. They have bought into the Father of Lies and most seem unwilling to turn away from it.
Frankly, I’m shocked it happened so fast here in the country. Yes, they worked on it for decades and decades.
I’ll tell ya what - that is one hilarious story right there.
Wish I had been there to witness it.
They are insane, lying trolls.
Nothing more can be said of them.
