The recent decision of Big Brothers-Big Sisters of America making it mandatory for local chapters to accept homosexual volunteers makes no sense to any thinking adult or concerned parent. I am also very disturbed the Springfield News-Leader is endorsing this decision.

It always astounds me how the media, in it's perpertual state of idiocy and hatred of all things Christian, will never fail to infer that the problem was because the offender was a priest, and not because they were a homosexual pedophile disguised as a priest.
Puhleeze, madg. Men who are sexually attracted to sexually mature males (as in Boy Scouts situations) are either homosexual or bisexual. In the Catholic Church, something like 1/3 of the priesthood is homosexual, and we have the very preditable epidemic of teenage boy molestation. Homosexual websites are full of pictures of 'the youngest available or legal' boys, homosexual magazines are full of advertisements for sex with teenage boys, New York City's teenage prostitution problem is 90% homosexual, the Catholic Church's molestation problem is 90% homosexual and 90% teenagers (boys). Who cares how a man identifies himself? When he goes after sexually mature males, he's got homosexual tendencies - and has absolutely NO place in the Boy Scouts.
The vast majority of people understand that men who like to hump the rear ends of other men have a mental problem.
And your point is? Gary has done much research and public Catholic activism against the homosexual agenda, and I have worked closely with him in fighting the homosexual agenda at PSU. His writings are factual and well researched. He is a research mathematician at a gov't research lab at PSU, and has his Masters degree in Theology. Merely naming his source, does not discredit Bryan's position.
Then why do you keep standing on the caps key? You've been yelling at Bryan ever since you posted up.
Do whatever you like, Bryan. Like I said, I cannot take you seriously any longer.
That's called an expression of contempt and is argument ad hominem, directed to other persons on the thread. I don't think you had any other conclusion to your discussion in view, and IMHO it's your way of trying to find the exit after you've shot your bolt and worked someone over with a six-inch social razor. I refer more to your posting manner than to your substance: we still have to examine Poppy Dixon's cites and quotes.
I also recall vividly that the exact same technique you're using was used by StopDrLaura.com, of finding a critical, Laura-bashing article by a liberal activist (I didn't say gay, but in Poppy Dixon's case I'll bet $50 on it, just to be sporting), and then quoting them as "authoritative".
In the case of Laura Schlessinger, the principal source of dirt for polemical attacks on her character was her ex-boyfriend, who provided the hatchet writer salacious details of her liaison with him (I think that's called third-degree "kiss and tell" and is a castrating offense among gender-fems, when the tell-ee isn't named Laura Schlessinger). This slugbait ex-boyfriend then went on to post nude pictures he had taken of Schlessinger on Bartcop. I guess any level of personal betrayal can be choked down and used without scruple, if the Cause is being served.
Michael Signorile's gloat in his Advocate article "Takin' It to the Streets", is an appropriate benchmark for what we're really dealing with here:
"Two months and 14 million–plus hits since its March 1 launch, StopDrLaura.com has become one of the most impressive weapons in the American lesbian and gay activism arsenal. Like a cyber machine gun, it has hit its targets with precision: the people and institutions involved in the creation and distribution of homophobic radio talk-show host Laura Schlessinger’s planned syndicated talk show for Paramount Television. The moment people’s names and numbers went up on the Web site, their phones began to ring incessantly, their fax machines began to churn, their E-mail accounts filled to capacity, and all were forced to realize that something was very, very wrong out there — something they each had a role in precipitating...."
--"Takin' it to the streets," by Mike Signorile, the Advocate, 2000
But the larger point here is not to cavil at how low Laura Schlessinger's enemies stooped to find the mud to throw at her because she expressed her opinions powerfully in a public forum that reached millions, but to marvel at the precision with which your multi-newbie attack on Bryan for posting Reisman, and Reisman for opining ag'in' your interest, replicates the Laura-borking template used in 2000.
Interesting that the archived StopDrLaura web page doesn't seem to preserve the link to the hatchet article I refer to. It's gone -- the sneers about her professional credentials, the backbiting about her radio career, the salacious details about her affair, the links to the Bartcop photos. Nice cleanup job on their part.
Poppy Dixon and Avedon Carol aren't blowing me away as standup professional resources, madg. They aren't even good sources of salaciousness -- that old photo of Reisman as a featured act on a children's show? What's that supposed to prove, that Reisman once had a job working for Bob Keeshan? And? What am I to infer? That she's a "nobody" because she had a humble job, forty years ago? I know a hatchet job when I see one, even when it doesn't have a lot to work with.
The thought has crossed my mind that the principal inducement for the Leftstream media to cover the Church's pederasty scandal is that it afforded them a chance to attack and damage the Roman Catholic Church. They'd do anything to attack the Catholic Church and its magisterium. That is the "culture war" Pat Buchanan talks about.
He's a man with homosexual attractions.
Homosexual men are sexually attracted to teenage boys. They should NOT be in the Boy Scouts. If heterosexual molesters presented such a great risk, the Catholic Church scandal would have been about heterosexual molestations. It wasn't and it isnt'. Finally, Boy Scouts doesn't have to worry about heterosexuals who would molest teenage girls, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO TEENAGE GIRLS THERE!
There are more than three hundred, just in the northeast. (and 80 in Boston). The point is, homosexual men have attraction to sexually mature males (including teenage boys). In the Catholic Church, homosexual men should NOT be allowed access to such boys.
Polycarp, from her interactions with homosexual priests in her diocese, and those abused, estimates that approximately 1/3 of homosexual priests are molesters (are willing to sexually involve teenage boys). I believe that the number of priests actually removed is only a small fraction of the total number of homosexual priests involved, given that only a small fraction of those molested have likely come forward. I do not blame all gay priests. But, madg, say, you let heterosexual men be Girl Scout leaders. Some girls would be abused (though at a far lower rate than in the homosexual case). That alone would be enough reason to bar heterosexual men from being Girl Scout leaders (as they, with common sense, are). I've seen a number of surveys in which 70% or so homosexual men over the age of 21 admit to having had sex with boys under the age of 18. The Catholic Church needs to decide - a queerized priesthood, or one that's safe for teenage boys. As long as it remains heavily homosexual, teenage boys will be at risk. Homosexual men can do whatever depraved things they want to do in the bedroom. They have NO business around my sons, either in the Church or in Boy Scouts (or anywhere else).
It's completely and perfectly appropriate to warn teenage boys to be wary of the sexual advances of homosexual men. Boy Scouts does this as part of their program to reduce the incidence of homosexual molestation in the scouts, and it's been quite effective.
