Why is it that liberals need to destroy institutions they want to join? If they have a such problem with the Boy Scouts, why don't a group of like minded parents just start the "Gay Scouts" of the "We don't believe in God Scouts"?

Is it any wonder that parents don't want their children to be alone in the woods with individuals that may look at them as a sexual object? Just like I will not let my young daughter go into the woods with male girl scout leader, I will not let my young son go into the woods with a gay scout leader. If it is a choice to take a chance on my children's innocence or to hurt someone's feelings, guess what I am going to decide.

As for the atheist - To be a Boy Scout, one must live according to the Scout Law (around since 1905), a collection of 12 statements that define the a boy in the Scouts. A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. To be reverent means to possess a belief in God.

Why do liberals want to destroy organizations that do not echo their warped view on society? Hate. They hate seeing something work that they do not control. They hate seeing values taught they can not control (like in public schools). But most of all, they hate seeing that they may be wrong.

Comments please! I feel a LTTE coming up!

Concerned about the assault on conservative values. Contribute to Terrell's campaign against Landrieu in Louisiana:

If the conservative agenda is to have a chance of succeeding and if conservative judges are to gain Senate approval, we must preserve a Republican Senate--which is in greater jeopardy than many realize.

For those who understand why the Louisiana election is crucial to retaining the Senate in the face of possible Republican defections by Chafee and McCain, please see the article just posted on:

The BSA is the rock in the stream. The Left has taken over or pushed aside all other American institutions-- universities, mainstream churches, schools--- but the BSA hasn't changed, hasn't caved, hasn't budged. So on the Boy Scouts they vent their fury.

"The Boy Scouts are at it again."

.....and thank God they are, Mr. Atkins, you drooling, liberal twit.

People want their sons in Scouts to learn and reinforce traditional values.......and those do NOT include your slavish devotion to the cause du jour such as homosexuality or atheism.

You see, Mr. Atkins, MOST boys in America (let alone their parents.....................oh......forgot us, did ya????) don't subscribe to homosexuality nor atheism.

So, Mr. Atkins, you drooler, get bent.

My email to the writer of the article...
He is a "writer and lawyer"!! We are doomed..
Semper Fi


Greetings!

Your's was the most twisted, biased and dishonest assessment of a situation, as I've seen in years..
The "young man" you're defending --- is an Eagle Scout by fraud..

He passed the physical acts required to achieve the necessary merit badges -- but failed miserably to achieve the primary TRAITS of Scouting: TRUTH, HONOR and TRUSTWORTHINESS.

Each and every time he repeated the Scout Oath --- He lied.
Each and every time he swore allegiance to the flag of the United States --- He lied...

Truth, Honor and Trustworthiness may not be values that mean much to you --- but they are among the foundation stones of the Boy Scouts..

You're going to have to deal with it...... Perhaps a little ice on that would help..

Those with personal beliefs or patterns of behavior that are inconsistent with Scouting -- should avoid the Boy Scouts.
If it is the activities of Boy Scouts that attract atheists and homosexuals -- then they should build their own "private organization" and participate honestly...

The desire of atheists, homosexuals or any other deviant or perverse personalities to change or destroy those unlike them -- is getting more than tiresome..
Most Americans acknowledge and tolerate the fact that atheists, deviants and perverts exist..... We just don't wish to bend our beliefs to suit them...
Is that so difficult to comprehend?

If this article is an example of how well you research and analyze the FACTS, and your ability to present a TRUE, FAIR, LOGICAL and INFORMATIVE report, perhaps you should consider another line of work.... Perhaps propaganda is more your speed.... You've failed at journalism...
