NavyDave Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Two interesting results I just read about. In San Diego the people got to vote on keeping a disputed Cross, a liberal judge changed the rules so that a majority rule wouldn't be enough to keep it in place it would take 75% of the vote. They got 78% The BoyScouts (A religious Group?) was the subject of a ban by a federal judge to keep the pentagon from providing land/funding for the jubilee. The US Senate voted 98-0 to keep the tradition in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is now nothing more than a political presence, out to preserve it's own identity. The people it helps come second to their political agenda.

Sarge Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Excellent. Now if only someone would sue the ACLU out of exisitance. A long drawn out expensive suit that runs them bankrupt,like the've been trying to do the the Boy Scouts Or better yet, just shut them down entirely.

Therefore, I'm really glad the ACLU is there to go after them. They truly are a great institution whom, without, this country would suffer dearly.

For offending your sensibilities? Anyway the ACLU is made out of lawyers, some even do work for the ACLU for free, so I doubt you could just sue them out of existence, assuming there is even a reason for a law suit.

No one has said the Scouts are bad, but if they want to be a private insitution and enjoy those rights, then they need to act like one and stop getting money from the government.

Baculus Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I can understand the opposition to the military-boy scouts connection. After all, we really don't want the scouts to be some para-military, "young Soviets" style youth brigade. But when I was in the scouts, I don't remember the military being pushed on us. Our troop leader, who used to revel us with stories of being dropped in the middle of Alaska and having to hike his way to his pickup location, used to be in the military, but he kept that separate from his scout duties. But, for the sake of civilian/military/government separation, perhaps it's best on principle to keep them separated. But on the whole, I don't there its a terrible thing.
