It's an attempt to control and impose values on others.

I couldn't join the scouts, being an agnostic. Big deal, I can't join a convent, a black fraternity, a women's gym, or any number of groups with a set criterea. Boo freaking hoo.

Liberals see scouting as a throwback to a Norman Rockwell diea of America. They are correct, more or less, but I can't see why that is a such a bad thing. I guess the whole 'mom and apple pie' atmosphere makes them gag.

They've offended me to my very core...I'm a mom, and I still bake apple pie (from scratch)! I guess they figure they can do without my vote!

BTW, you're absolutely right. Mom and Apple Pie still count for something in flyover country. It's called common-sense values. You'd think the last election would have taught these people something. Instead, they insanely go about making the same mistakes. I hope they continue to, and lose election after election.

I remember back in the Clinton reign, Hitlery was trying to re-define "family."

She said, "Not every family is Ward and June Cleaver." In other words, a nuclear family is an anachronism, and a corny one at that.

Liberals hate and ridicule traditional values.

Bingo! There are those who want nothing more than for there to be rot behind the wholesome image. In their world mom is a drunk and the apples were sprayed with malathion. Believing this makes them feel better. It's a cheap and easy way of being an "intellectual." And so the Boy Scouts can't just be a club for kids to get together and camp, they must be tool of would be theocrats. When I was in the scouts I just kept my mouth shut and pretended to believe in God. It was all voulentary and no one was harmed.
