You might think that SCOTUS rulings are meant to protect only liberals, and when the rulings don't go there way they just ignore them!

Proud dad of 2 Eagle Scouts, and 2 future Eagles!!

Proud mom of one 2nd Class scout and one Star scout(both future Eagle Scouts) bump!

These idiots do not realize the Boy Scouts are going to put the Queers back into the closet of Shame where they belong.

[Rustheman]

Amen!

Great article.

Sodomites don't reproduce, they recruit ... what better recruiting ground than daily exposure to and overnight camping trips with young boys.

As a former scout (Cub and Boy Scout) this story infuriates me. Why should we even have to worry that our kids are being assaulted (figuratively and literally) by these perverts? Can there not be one area of our society that these faggots leave untouched?

They insisted that the Scouts cannot be allowed to escape the District's anti-discrimination law, and the hefty fine was right and just.

These Washington crackpots are dumber than dumb. The Supreme Court has ruled that the Boy Scouts has the consitutional right to preclude homosexual men from being scoutmasters. Their actions are blatantly unconstitutional.

I will assume that you're a former scoutmaster, and not a former straight.... ;-)

The Scouts remain a prime target. They are loathed by the Left for resisting reeducation on sexual morality and for transmitting a cultural framework, stressing God and country, that was supposed to be marginalized by now.

The Left is marginalizing itself on the scouts issue. The scouts lost a couple of % in membership as a result of the issue, and scouts is growing rapidly in many areas. Let's see, as a parent, which do I want for my sons - an atheist, pro-homosexuality organization, or a Godly organization which stresses traditional family and traditional family values? Hard to choose, hard to choose...

Writing for the majority, Chief Justice William Rehnquist declined the invitation to instruct a private organization on what it does and does not believe.

Because, unlike four Supreme Court justices, Rehnquist believes in the freedom of Americans to associate with whom they want - and to be able to choose who will take their teenage sons on overnight camping trips.

Good catch! I am and always will be a heterosexual, white, Scottish Christian male adult of 58 years and counting! BTW - I was also a District Commissioner while assigned by the Army to Germany.

The homosexual agenda was first attempted to be rammed down the throat of the military. And even with the pervert-in-cheif Clinton promoting it, it didn't work. So the queers aimed their sights on an easier (or so they thought) prey. These sexual predators must be fought off like the animals they are.
A big 11 year den leader, cubmaster,cubscout bump. And a 3 year chartered organization representative, patrol adult advisor boy scout bump.

Their actions are blatantly unconstitutional.

The motto for the addition to our house was: "It's only temporary until you get used to it."

It's similar in cases like this. Decisions of the DC Human Rights Commission are "Constitutional" unless and until contrary USSC decisions are applied to the specific case in question.

Eventually, fatigue or oversight allows one of these decisions to get by without challenge, at which point the USSC decision becomes irrelevant.

We had to fight a huge battle in our town, led by an active homosexual man and a liberal Jewish rabbi, to force scouts to accept this man as an assistant scoutmaster, or to be forced from use of the public schools for meetings. The queerites cannot leave anyone alone. They are the most intolerant people in the world. They will not rest until they can snuggle up to your teenage sons. - But with scouts, they have hit a big rock, and now they are angering many many parents in the country. The more they attack the scouts, the more people are turning against them. They are not only immoral and intolerant, they are extremely stupid.

Scouts has a long term fight on its hands. As I said in another post, homosexuals are only succeeding in turning Americans against them with their relentless and intolerant attacks on the scouts.

While our local cub pack faltered breifly in recruiting new members, our School Night for Scouting on Sept.10 signed up 16 new scouts, bringing us to a total of 48.
