So if their main organizational drive is FB, then yes they would go to FB.

And here is an example where they did go after a liberal church (because of their sermons not prayers, but close!):

It looks like they make delving into the background of offered quite standard in their approach. Again, their scrutiny of the these groups was not the problem.
Each group deserves to be looked at when applying for Tax Free privileges.

The problem is the manner in-which they politically profiled Tea Party groups.

A Scout is reverent. He is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties and respects the convictions of others in matters of custom and religion.

So given you and your family’s obvious bigotry and hate towards other peoples’ religious beliefs, a la your ranting about “evangelicals” and “fundamentalists”, what were you doing in order to get this? Lying? Crossing your fingers?

Oh, that’s right. You’re LGBT, so you don’t actually have to believe what you say or act in a manner consistent with your principles.

And what I find most telling is this: you could have founded your own organization for gay youth and gotten all that sweet, sweet corporate lucre while nominally pretending to help children.

But you didn’t. Instead, you went after and attacked and sued the Boy Scouts to harass and punish them and, in the process, to DENY far more children the opportunity to be Scouts and have access to those resources.

You don’t give a damn about kids. You only cared about your petty, vindictive antireligious bigotry and hate. And as a result, places like your Wilmington, your Philadelphia, and your Newark are cesspools without opportunities for kids to learn anything other than gang-banging.

Are you proud of yourself, Ted B?

And I happen to be a holder of Scouting’s “God and Country” medal—which is much rarer than the Eagle badge—which I think makes me more knowledgeable of religion’s place in traditional Scouting than you.

I don’t attack religion, as a former Scout I criticize it’s unwelcome recent intrusion where it doesn’t belong.

Scouting was not a religious organization for 90-years until it was hijacked….

LMAO.

The Boy Scouts of America maintains that no member can grow into the best kind of citizen without recognizing an obligation to God. In the first part of the Scout Oath or Promise the member declares, ‘On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law.’ The recognition of God as the ruling and leading power in the universe and the grateful acknowledgment of His favors and blessings are necessary to the best type of citizenship and are wholesome precepts in the education of the growing members.

What were you doing when the Scout Oath was being recited, Ted B? Lying? Crossing your fingers?

Oh, that’s right. You’re LGBT, so you don’t actually have to believe what you say or act in a manner consistent with your principles.

Ya’all have a great holiday weekend

You’re welcome.

Ok…that was genuinely funny, Vince. Good find.

To those who didn’t click through to his link, it’s a Kickstarter parody of a guy who’s developed an app to determine whether or not you’re a racist.

As I said, it’s pretty funny.

Ironically enough, this is one of my favorite satire sites.

Scouting was not a religious organization for 90-years until it was hijacked….

The Mugabe Regime may well be the most corrupt presidential administration in US history.

He decries what liberals have done to society, but he endorses and supports liberalism and antireligious bigotry, such as his fellow LGBT bigots screaming and attacking corporations for funding the BSA.

Perhaps if he recognized that the BSA does a tremendous amount of good, especially when compared to the promiscuous bigoted liberals who are attacking it, he might see the problem with his pronouncements.

The simple fact is this: the BSA is allowing bigots like Dan Savage and Joe Jervis who see children as sexual objects to set their morals and values.

And corporations are stupid enough to allow bigots like Dan Savage and Joe Jervis who see children as sexual objects to dictate their giving.

In those days DuPont Chemical, Hercules and the other Wilmington-based corporations covered most of the operating expenses of the entire Council and their summer camps gratis. The DuPont family also contributed both facilities and substantial cash. Now all that support is gone.

And Wilmington is clearly the better for it.

There’s your lesson: LGBT bigots and pandering to them do nothing to improve a community and quite a bit to destroy it.

That is because LGBT bigots have no interest in WHY the Scouts exist; they just want to destroy them and their values.

I know most of you would rather not hear from me ever again and don’t care for any of my links.

Finally – Smegmasnatch got something right! Miracles never cease.

Have a nice weekend.

That’s Memorial Day Weekend to you, buster. Show some respect to our fallen heroes.

Oh, wait – libtards never do. Silly me.

I have to admit, it’s kinda nice living in Vince’s head, rent free.

Got to admit, there’s a lot of space up there to stretch out!

You’re welcome.

It was only in the late 80s and the 90s that it became an issue as the Fundamentalists and Evangelicals took control….all to the detriment of the program and the Movement.

Cause and effect might be bolstered by some facts.

As I read this, (1.) the BSA was taken over by the Fundamentalists and Evangelicals in the Bush 41 and Clinton years.

(2.) The takeover of the BSA was detrimental to the BSA program and the Movement.

(3.) The Fundamentalists and Evangelicals made homosexuality a major issue of the BSA.

Now, while this Fundamentalist and Evangelical drive to make homosexuality in the BSA program and Movement was occurring, was there any increase in the homosexual world to confront Fundamentalists and Evangelicals in general? That is to say, was there a heightened gay voice or response to the Fundamentalist and Evangelicals during this period that was not associated with the BSA?

My curiosity is piqued. Since Fundamentalists and Evangelicals are being fingered as the “cause” of the decline of the BSA program and Movement, it there any concomitant activity on the part of militant (fundamentalist) and activist (evangelical) gays in promoting their program and Movement to snare all sorts of people in the trap of homophobia, including the BSA?

So far, this alleged take-over of the BSA does not present enough fact to be accepted as a thesis statement to explain how the gay issue resulted in the decline of the BSA.

I have heard elsewhere that activists, with activist gays among them, stuck their fingers in the BSA and made charges that the BSA should not receive federal funds and tax exemptions because of their emphasis on religion, being morally straight and other parts of their oath and belief system that irritated atheists, gays and professional malcontents.

I don’t make that a direct cause and effect statement. I merely pose the issue as another point of view.
