The U.S. Military still has WICAAN Chaplins and Muslim Chaplins and both groups actively proselytize..
The Commander & Chief imo now that Clinton is gone...and war is on the horizon should 86 this crap

[DainBramage]

Why would they want branch into this? They already make crummy furniture.

[L.N. Smithee]

I have only one comment: "Whatever."

[Teacher317]

Good for them. If the courts recognize their right to form a private club, then maybe they will finally recognize the Boy Scouts rights as well... or would you all rather these, umm, alternative-lifestyles folks were in the Boy Scouts?

[joesnuffy]

Christian extreme-right domination of our culture."

Those dang founding fathers...and Puritans...and those dang Qakers and those dang Hugonauts and those 99.9% of those who made America an independent nation With their right wing Bill of Rights and their right wing Constitution and their Libraries full of Right Wing literature.. And their right wing missionaries and universities and right wing hosptials etc etc etc... The Pagans & Lefties will save us...from those nasty terrorists...and those who would destroy the soul of the nation and enslave the people... Tolerating anything...and everything except the very thing that founded "America" that they reject and call evil... Good is bad and bad is good and woe to anyone who calls good evil..and evil good..

"I give them 2 years before some parents files a lawsuit."

I really believe the parents themselves should be held accountable for buying into this crap and placing their kids in danger. No more hiding behind ignorance.

[Dead Corpse]

Now that is funny. Fluffy-headed BS.

Prime #1 reason why I don't often associate with other Pagans.

[Alex Murphy]

I give them 2 years before some parents files a lawsuit

...for compensation for damages incurred from sulphur burns, and allergic reactions to ingested/inhales non-food subtances such as eye of newt.

[MEGoody]

Great! I've been telling the whiners to start their own group for years. Maybe they finally got the idea.

[Steve_Seattle]

"balance of polarities"

I am actually heard this very point disputed by occultists who claim that homosexuality violates the polarities of nature.

[clamper1797]

I'm surprised they didn't call them the "Rump Rangers"

[AppyPappy]

I'm with you. See ya later.

[grcuster]

Time to give the Boy Scouts more money to fend off these leftist.

[moyden]

Could be their first merit badge.

[hunter112]

OK, that's enough out of you, now you'll never get your Warlock badge, you'll be stuck at your Imp badge for the rest of your life!

Yeap, that "Freedom of Religion" thing is just such a bother...

So Joe, you think they should get rid of ALL Religions in the Military, or just the ones you don't approve of?

[OPS4]

And the Judgement is coming soon, and the Lord will judge all who hurt the children harshly.And this group of Wackos and the like will hurt the children.

Ops4 God Bless America

[notpoliticallycorewrecked]

I have for years said that if they don't like the way BSA operates then they should start their own club. Sounds like they did just that. I'm just say that they are inviting diaster with their choice of "leaders".

[Lizavetta]

That's how I look at it. Don't like the Boy Scouts' rules? Start your own club with your own rules. Once they have their own "ways" that other buttinskis are going to inevitably try to change, maybe they'll finally see things from a conservative point of view, at least in terms of freedom of association.

The Spiral Path by Starhawk. Reference to Birth, Life, Death, Re-birth cycle.

This whole thing sounds like a liberal indoctrinaires dream. Gah!

Makes me want to start my own group of Ragnarok Rangers, Jr. Valkyries, or Frey's Forresters.
