Senate Supports Boy Scouts

This is certainly great news.

In the reporting of this story tomorrow, you will hear little about how the Senate has voted 98 to 0 to allow U.S. military bases to host Boy Scout events. — That means even the most liberal senators in the country oppose the ACLU, which want the Boy Scouts banned from all federal property and has sued to make that happen.

The ACLU has been after the Boy Scouts for a long time, pretending to be concerned about their stand on openly homosexual scoutmasters and their pledge. The ACLU is really against anything positive and good in this country, from what I can tell.

This is a stunning rejection of the extremist group and a huge victory for fair play in America. The ACLU has been trying to destroy the Boy Scouts ever since that organization decided to ban openly gay Scout leaders and require an allegiance to a higher power.

Yeah, that's what I said. [g] Bill O'Reilly and I don't agree on a lot of things, but we certainly do on this subject. The ACLU has become the Anti-Christian Liberties Union (no, I didn't make that up).

As a private organization, the Scouts have a perfect right to do that, as no one is forced to join. The ACLU contends that the Scouts are discriminatory, therefore have no place using any public facility for anything.

Now clear-thinking people know a vendetta when they see it. And that's exactly what this ACLU jihad against the Scouts is. So the U.S. Senate has made a statement. And we should all applaud that statement.

Of course they have a right to make their own rules. The ACLU's claim that because of their pledge to God they cannot use public facilities is just ridiculous. I'm certainly glad the Senate sees that.

It's obvious the Boy Scouts help society and give children an opportunity to have fun and develop character. The greater good is served by helping the Scouts, even if you don't subscribe to their philosophy.

Too bad that the "greater good" is the last thing on the ACLU's agenda. I have a son who will be an Eagle Scout this year, all he has to do is his community service project. I have seen first-hand how the Scouts develop character and produce better members of society. Wouldn't it be nice to see organizations like the ACLU actually interested in such things?
