The New "More Moral" Boy Scouts...

When the children get dragged into the political wars their parents wage, nothing good can come of it. Boy scouts, and girl scouts need to let the kids just be kids and stop trying to impose some political agenda on the organizations.

Didn't LJ drag children into the politics of this with her fake photo of kids where she associated them with Hitler?

And fine, show us all the examples you must have where people in this forum posted fake photos of Obama and associated him with Hitler.

Assuming you have an example, then how does that make what LJ said acceptable?

Maybe I'm missing something, but is this all about the Boy Scouts not accepting gays as leaders? Can you let me know how they impose this philosophy on the kids? How do they know about it? I sure didn't back in the day.

Did Obama impose his opposition to gay marriage on you and LJ when he first ran? Did you still vote for him? I'm not clear of the difference here. Is it just politics? Just asking...

It wasn't a "fake" photo...But carry on....

Perhaps you can clarify what you mean when you say "Obama IMPOSED his opposition to gay marriage when he was first elected." I must have missed that somehow.

Is this just YOUR politics?...Just asking.

Fake, as in misrepresented. One could toss a pig out of an airplane, take a photo, then post to show pigs can fly. That would be disgusting too.

I'm surprised you don't remember all the all pics of Obama posted over the years with accompanying characterizations of him that were unflattering based on the picture. But hey, it's all part of politics right?

If your child's scout leader is removed because he is gay, or a kids dad, who happens to be gay, is not allowed to be a part of the troop leadership, do you think that won't effect the kids, or teach them that discrimination is OK, even sanctioned by the organization?

As for the rest of your post, I made none of those claims. I never mentioned Hitler, and I'm archer, not LJ, so if you have problems with what she posted take it up with her. I was merely pointing out a very obvious point of hipocricy in the complaints about LJ's post.

Whatever you all think, that picture is scary, no way I would let my kid be a part of that group.

OK, you added "IMPOSED" to your message. No problem since it was shortly after your post.

Archer used the word "impose" in regards to the Boy Scouts. That is what I was referring to.

No actually it came from YOUR Message:

Now, since you love to throw around the word "liar" so much, I guess that makes you a liar...

You wanna keep this up? Let's go....

You said:

This is not unlike some of the pictures taken of Obama and used by conservatives to characterize him as arrogant, unpatriotic, etc. Nice to see some of you say that it is unfair to use a still photo in this manner. Will we see that concern extend to pictures of Obama, or Hillary in the future?

But that was after LJ compared the kids to Hitler which I pointed out. Why did you ignore it?

It's a fake photo in that it has nothing to do with what the photo showed. How hard is that for you and LJ to understand?

If you think it's OK for LJ to compare kids to Hitler (you still haven't commented on it), show me how others here did the same with Obama.

And feel free to show any fake or even exaggerated photos of Obama that I've ever posted.

You are scared of a fake photo? Please. You know it's fake just as if someone posted a photo in time of Obama or anyone else in the same pose.

I can't even believe I'm in this dumb discussion.

No, it was from Archer and I was responding to that...

When the children get dragged into the political wars their parents wage, nothing good can come of it. Boy scouts, and girl scouts need to let the kids just be kids and stop trying to impose some political agenda on the organizations.

You didn't see it?

And keep comparing kids who are Boy Scouts to the Hitler youth. It's working well for you.
