Post Sugarcoats Thuggery Against Philadelphia’s Boy Scouts . From the article,
· The architect of the harassment against the Scouts, City Solicitor Diaz, is openly homosexual, as has been reported in the Philadelphia press.
· The Scouts built the building with their own money, and then gave it to the city in 1928.
· The Scouts had a lease “in perpetuity” with the city, an agreement the City Council broke.
· The Scouts bar openly homosexual Scoutmasters and members for moral reasons and for the sake of protecting young boys from possible harm, .....
· Philadelphia suffers from the leading murder and violent crime rate among top 10 cities in the United States. Most of it is being committed by fatherless young men.
As for the ongoing slaughter in the streets, Philadelphia had 406 homicides in 2006, courtesy of fatherless barbarians who could have benefited from character building offered by the Boy Scouts. .....
Over at City Hall, the City Council and the mayor are doing their part by blessing the city solicitor’s ambitious social agenda. If the Scouts are forced out of town, it might not make Philadelphia a more livable place. ...
But surely the rampant homophobia of an organization that won’t send boys on camping trips with homosexual men is the most pressing problem in Philadelphia today. Granted, if someone hangs a noose in a warehouse and a black guy wanders in and sees it, it might rival the Scout horror. But to even think that murders, rapes, muggings, assaults, armed robberies, urban decay, drug dealers, STDs, teen pregnancy, illegitimacy, and neighborhoods that resemble the Third World are an equivalent problem shows your lack of perspective.
