40 A better option would be for decent people to retake control over BSA. It may take us a few years, and parents should go on all outings with their kids until then, but BSA is too valuable to give up just because of a temporary gain by these evil perverts.

While I like your fighting spirit, this fight is over. The communists have completed their 78 year "long march through the institutions" with today's announcement by the BSA. We are officially a post-Christian nation. The MSM, Hollywood, academia, Fortune 500 board rooms, not-profit-foundations, and churches have been undermined from within. The Millennial Generation is the "Lost" Generation. They just don't have "it" to recognize the truth. My generation, the "Boomers", stomped the accelerator during the 1960s to bring us where we are today. Hold onto your church and family, everything else will soon be gone with the wind.

The predators have always been there, but now they will flock there. I assume the parents keeping their boys there will be having an auction.

God bless you for manning the barricades for as long as you could.

Oh. LOL. That’s interesting. I wonder if men can be leaders of girl scouts. Seems foolish to me.

I was a blue bird when I was a kid. Only women were leaders.

Regardless, I think it is very foolish to send your boy camping with a homosexual man. At minimum you are asking the boy to hold him up as an example. That is flat out wrong. I wouldn’t want a lesbian as a leader either, but at least there is no risk she might be sexually attracted to him.

70 “Robert Gates, who is BSA president, told the group’s national meeting that the ban on gay adults needed to end, saying it was no longer sustainable.” What the hell is that supposed to mean? Not sustainable?

It means 2 things -

1. National BSA HQ in Irving, TX, needs Fortune 500 $$$ donations to keep the lights on. The Human Rights Campaign, founded in 1980, has completely penetrated the Fortune 500 board rooms.

2. National BSA will no longer be able to stand up to the threatened lawfare that the LGBT contingent will bring.

72 “It will, however, also allow units with religious ties to “continue to choose adult leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own”.”

Allow is the key word there. Very soon the board will decide that they will no longer allow them to choose their leaders.

It broke in the news last week that many churches are questioning their liability insurance carriers whether they have coverage against lawsuits brought by homosexuals who are denied the right to marry in their churches. The early prognosis is that the liability coverage will not cover the churches in these matters. The LGBTs may well choose to pursue this path against churches which charter scouting units but do not recognize homosexual marriage. Will be interesting to watch the Roman Catholic Church - the 3rd largest sponsor of Boy Scouting units in the U.S.

78 I just thought of something. I wonder if this cave is because they have been threatened the loss of tax exempt status.

Good thinking - like the churches who might stand to lose their 501(c)3 status if they continue to oppose the LGBT.

Come to think of it I guess I did know that. They are called “Den mothers”? But they don’t go camping with the kids, do they? I could see it with young kids but this day and age it seems foolish to do with older ones.

There is a Lucy Show episode with Lucy and Viv taking a bunch of scouts camping. Too bad we’ve lost our innocence what with teachers having affairs with students and all.

These days you can’t even trust your church. Welcome to the sexual revolution. It is only going to get worse. Whatever risks parents are willing to take with their kids, it is foolish to send your boy camping with a homosexual boy or man. You are asking for trouble. You might as well send your husband camping with Pamela Anderson or someone like that. It makes as much sense.

Catholic alternative.

We hold to a politically incorrect belief: Men are not culturally dispensable. Christian civilization requires that older men pass down their wisdom, virtue, and example to younger men. Young men are lost without their elders to train them.

Why didn’t they make it a 2fer....and eliminate “duty to God” in their oath?

I weep.

I’m not following...

Are you talking about non-homo troops camping alongside troops with homos?

If so, it creates a bit of a problem...straight leaders are going to have take turns keeping watch I suppose.

IMO, I don’t think there will be that many that come right out and admit they’re homo...they’ll do what most predators do, slink around, waiting for the right moment.

This is especially dangerous because the good leaders won’t really know who to be keeping an eye on...and then we’ll be accused of discriminating for doing so...so be it.

No damned homo is coming anywhere near any kid in my charge...under any circumstances.

Thanks, and to you as well.

There wasn’t any mystery to anyone at the District, Council or National level about where I stand on the matter either.

I’ll see these last few Scouts through and finish up my commitment to my friend, but that’s that...I just can’t compromise with these bxxxxxds any longer.

They just won’t listen to reason.

You are a good man and those Scouts have been lucky to have you. I hope you join the Trail Life group. I’m sure they could use you.

Okay. Accreditation, and all those kinds of things have never bothered me. The spiritual and moral safety of my children are more important.

Martial arts class. Not the babysitting dojo. One that when you knock on a door, they deny there is a martial arts class.

Thanks, it is/was mutually beneficial.

I think the hangover from this one is going to last a while...don’t know what I’m going to do afterwards.

Been looking at getting involved coaching youth mountain biking...don’t quite know yet.

It won’t be an easy break...lots of certificates and memorabilia to pack away...

After some time off, I’ll probably look into helping TLUSA out...there is a crew near here. Will have to discuss with Mrs. SZ.

While I like your fighting spirit, this fight is over.

The Soviet Socialists won in Russia's civil war, seizing power in 1917 and holding that power until 1991.

The National Socialists won in Germany's most violent elections, seizing power in 1933 and holding that power until 1945.

Obama's Socialists have won this round, but the fight is not over. Russian socialists ruled for 74 years. German socialists lost their power in a mere 12 years. We have a longer and stronger tradition of individual rights and responsibilities than either of those countries. If we fight for freedom, we can regain what we lost before our grandchildren or even our children suffer from our catastrophic blunders.
