The Lockheed Martin Corp. is cutting ties with the Boy Scouts of America because the group does not allow gay Scout leaders, officials told the MDJ on Wednesday.

“While we applaud the mission of the Boy Scouts and the good things they do in our communities, their policies that discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation and religious affiliation conflict with Lockheed Martin policies,” said Lockheed spokesman Gordon Johndroe.

The reference to “religious affiliation” has to do with the Boy Scouts’ ban on atheist members.

Forced on them by the thug ‘administration’.

That said, LM should have been nationalized a long time ago. They build nothing that is sold commercially anymore, might as well be part of the relevant agency that needs their junk.

For those of you shocked by that comment: recall that the Navy built their own ships for centuries, and the Army made their own rifles and artillery.

It’s plain old Fascism is what it is.

Where the folks at A&E television apparently would prefer “a man's anus” ... the folks over at Lockheed seem to prefer “a boy's anus”. I find that disgusting and offensive. Lockheed should be ashamed, but ... I imagine the perversion prevents them from being so.

Say "Hello" to your new Scoutmaster.

PS

That reminds me....need to get my son into BSA right away, he’s been asking.

Least I’ll know he’s safe.

I would love to believe that some great awakening awaits us, but I believe this is one of the last gasps of civilisation. The Bible predicts worse to come.

Apparently, it’s mainly the decision makers.

[txmissy]

This crap is getting old.

[mrsmel]

It’s the old old parable about who the crocodile eats last.

[onedoug]

For stuff that would have gotten them arrested 40 years ago. Who says nostalgia for the old days is always tainted?

[Venturer]

Sounds like Obama may have “pressed “ Him a few times.

Sure he is a “presser”.

I can see his lisp in that picture.

[Hoodat]

wait you mean they aren’t satisfied with the cave-in to allow homosexual scouts but not leaders?

'Leaders'? Don't you mean 'recruiters'?

[oh8eleven]

Time to add Lockheed Martin Corp to the boycott list.
Damn. Just when I was going to do my Christmas shopping.

[pleasedontzotme]

Uh, he worked for Bush. Note the western White House sign behind him.

[dfwgator]

The Bushes love the gays, as well.

[Gene Eric]

So Lockheed is endorsing sodomy?

[sheik yerbouty]

The Deviant in Chief has probably threatened the status of their contracts....

[Hoodat]

Now who am I going to buy my fighter planes from?
