Well its 3:00 pm and I'm still free. Not only that but the Lawless page is down.
Ok, I have been doing my best to avoid old man Webby, I really have. Yeah so he thinks bad parenting and alcohol was the main factors in Joey's rape conviction, so he has been trying to hunt me down all over metroplex talking to people who have nothing to do with any of this. So he collaborated with Lawless in an effort to throw out dirt on me, so he lurks on this blog daily, hoping that we jump back into his Webb. So he tried to make fun of me as an air conditioning man whom he assumed I was.
I was still going to let all that go, until he had to throw out his latest article on his rare reporter (what he means by rare is common sense and moral decency). Now, I'm not a big fan of Rick Perry, I think he is a dolt and I thought that way before his presidential run. And I'm not going to get into the gay vs. anti-gay war. Everyone has a right to believe what they want, and the Boy Scouts are a private institution and they get to make their own policies. Welcome to America. So, with that as my disclaimer, against my better judgement.....lets get caught back into the spider Webb:
IRVING, TX -- Ignorance and fear can play an amazingly
influential role in halting progress, and the nation recently saw that played
out once again at the highest level of political influence on a charitable
organization. A bit dramatic don't you think?
In the face of mounting conservative public opposition, Boy
Scouts of America announced it would delay making a decision on striking down
its anti-gay policy targeting scouts and leaders.How do you know they didn't just delay the ruling? An affirmative vote,
originally scheduled for Feb. 6 by the Irving, Texas-based national group and now
delayed until May, would have allowed local troop sponsors to decide on whether
to accept gay scouts and leaders.
It's no coincidence that the Boy Scouts announcement
followed on the heels of anti-gay Texas Gov. Rick "I'll never step down
unless I can be president" Perry saying that he would oppose such a policy
change. it might be, how do you know? Perry, a former Eagle Scout who published a book in 2008, "On My
Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting For,"
probably can be credited with derailing the vote. It would be nice to have a little more evidence to support this other than the title of a book he wrote 5 years ago
That's a shame because Perry you mean your hypothetical reason?, more than most people,
probably knows that anti-gay discrimination often targets people who might not
be gay. On no, here it comes Perry has fought rumors that he himself is gay yeah he just went there, welcome to the bottom of the barrel ever since he went to
Austin as a state legislator representing Haskell County in 1984. In fact,
Perry was the subject of "Head Figure Head: The Search for the Hidden Life
of Rick Perry," a book written by former openly-gay Texas Rep. Glen Maxey,
which alleged to document the governor's closeted gay life. but it could never be substantiated so no responsible media outlet ever said anything about it
What's even more curious about Perry's stance is that when
he was a scout in Haskell County omg, we can drop even farther now? he was involved in an incident of an alleged
appearance of impropriety. One night on a camping trip when Perry was about 10 young boys on a camping trip, where have we heard that before?,
he apparently got cold and crawled into a sleeping bag with an older scout to
get warm. When the scout leader discovered the pair the next morning he
reportedly scolded the older scout for allowing Perry to sleep with him. The
older scout said he took the brunt of the scolding because he was told that as
the older youth he should have known to wake the scout leader rather than
allowing Perry to sleep with him.
Presumably, Perry and the older scout might have been
expelled for their behavior under today's scouting policy,the scouts have always had that policy and God forbid what
might have happened to them had they been involved in some common child
experimental sex game. Common? What kind of sick perverse world did you grow up in? I guess we can all be thankful that there was no booze involved because then they would have been open season to be raped by the scout leaders.
The sleeping bad incident came to light when a Huffington
Post reporter researched rumors about Perry's alleged secret gay life during
the governor's unsuccessful bid for the Republican Party's presidential
nomination in 2012. The reporter dismissed it because it quite rightly meant
nothing, and so should you except that it possibly scarred the young Perry's mind and instilled a
sense of fear in him about the perception of being branded as gay. so he really is gay, but this scared him straight and he has been living a lie ever since?
Friends of Perry from of his scouting days -- some of whom
remain in close contact with him still -- swear that he has has never engaged
in off-color jokes about LGBT people or practiced anti-gay discrimination in
his political offices. Yet every chance he gets, Perry comes down on the side
of the debate with the likes of anti-gay zealot Robert Jeffress Perry is pretty far right, that would be consistent with his political platform, senior pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Dallas, who from his appearance ought to
understand something about the threat of being wrongly perceived as gay. Did you just make fun of his appearance because he looks effeminate? You are doing wonders for the LGBT agenda, let me tell ya
Effeminate straight men often become the targets of anti-gay
hate crimes, according to organizations that track hate crime violence. Often? Do you know what the word often means?
According to the organization's website, the Boy Scout's
mission is to do duty to God and country, obey Scout Law, help others at all
times, stay physically strong, mentally awake and morally straight. Scouts are
encouraged to be trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind,
obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
Obviously, none of that mentions sexual orientation, unless
someone wants to try and argue that "morally straight" means not gay,
which hopefully no one would be dumb enough to attempt such a debate. they didn't really invite you to a debate, but I think that is how they are reading it Instead,
discrimination of any kind would appear to be violating Scout Law. What where? I don't read discrimination anywhere in it? They don't allow girls in as well, those nazis. How does something that is not there "appear" to be there to you?
It doesn't help the cause for eliminating anti-gay
discrimination in the organization that everyone realizes the Boy Scouts are
likely only considering a policy change because of the fear of loss of
corporate funding, which increasingly requires commitments to equality for all
people. thats probably true, but facts are always good to back this up
Rather than listening to a governor whose motives are more
likely based on politics and personal gain rather than fairness, it would
better serve Boy Scouts leaders to listen to the words of someone like
President Barack Obama.So you don't think Obama is motivated by politics and personal gain even though up until the last year he was anti-gay marriage? The president you should capitalize President, show respect noted that all young people should have
the opportunity to learn and prosper as part of the scouting tradition.
It's hard to imagine anything more deplorable than the
thought of scout leaders and the scouts they mentor targeting and excluding a
youth from a troop because they view them as unacceptable for presumed
homosexuality or whatever reason. so this is the worst thing that can happen to a human being, rape murder so on takes a back seat to this? The earlier children are taught to live and
let live the better it will serve them in later life, and it's never to late
for someone to learn that lesson either. that's a pretty weak ending, but whatever
