This is nothing less that a single battle in a religious war that has been going on for two hundred years. It is the God-hating secular humanists who want to redo the world in their bizarre image. They are sick people who want to destroy Christianity. This is a hate group.

As I understand, the local councils are all self-funding anyway - so they should simply tell the national council to cram it, and start a new national council.

No can do. The BSA has the words "Boy Scouts" copyrighted.

Someone at the federal level THREATENED them. I’m thinking NLRB.

Wow. I totally mis-read this. I thought they were dropping sponsorship because they allow gays in, not keep them out.

RE: Wouldn’t be surprised if the homo nazis are putting pressure by threatening to drop their shares in they don’t bow before the gays.

Idiots. If they drop their shares for the sole purpose of spite regardless of earnings, profits, revenues and sales, there would be others who would scoop it up. NAMELY ME for one.

Boy Scouts still don’t allow gay scoutmasters. The liberal activists will torture every conservative “homophobic” group to within a inch of its life.

When a majority of the media execs, and leaders in Washington are homo’s, it’s not as hard to bully people around and wrap you in red tape.

girl scouts are already co-oped by the lesbians years ago.

In railroad locomotives, that’d be General Electric, unfortunately. (CAT currently owns Electro-Motive Diesel, which used to be GM’s locomotive division.)

As far as giant mining dumptrucks, you have Bucyrus (bought out Terex in 2009), Komatsu, Hitachi and Liebherr.

Biggest competitor as far as bulldozers IIRC is Ingersoll Rand.

Lots of other manufacturers of “genset” diesels too.
