Romney: The Boy Scouts should admit homosexuals

[Buckskin]

I think all scout masters who participate in boy scouts must be heterosexual.  There can be no compromise on this issue.  If boys who join are gay, they will learn in boy scouts to be straight. If they don't like it, then they can go join the girl scouts. 

 
Hairy. Agreed Sir. POWDERMAN. 

There has to be a standard.  Boy means man, not queer.

 
 
LOL! So you expect a guy running for president to go so far as to say that?  The president has no business in the business of the scouts, either way.

[Cuts Crooked]

.....and some folks SEEM to think homosexuality is a bad thing.

It's not optimal...

[Doublebass73]

I'm supporting anyone that can beat BHO.

So am I , even if it were the town drunk , even that would have to be better than the village idiot .

Amen!  I fully support anyone who can put Barry on the curb.

 
I agree.  And to tell the truth, I couldn't care less what either of them think about the boy scouts. We have much bigger fish to fry.  Those that dig up comments from 1994 are a lost cause imo...

Those who ignore or skip over the part where Romney reaffirmed this position in 2012 are a lost cause IMO.

dblbass. So whats your point?? Other than slamming Romney to make hussein look good?? POWDERMAN. 

[Swampman]

Romney's position on this matter is a moot point.......remember  the saying from a few years ago?  "It's the economy stupid."  It still is.

Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't you condemned hussein in the past for his support of homosexuals? If so then why are you giving Romney a pass for doing the exact same thing?

[Swampman]

Because we like him.

[Buckskin]

Maybe you didn't read the first portion of my post. "And to tell the truth, I couldn't care less what either of them think about the boy scouts. We have much bigger fish to fry".
 
 
It's either Romney or Obama, ignoring that fact is ignorant. And not setting aside petty issues with the logical choice is in my opinion irresponsible.  It's getting down to crunch time, and if we don't do something about this debt, the US as we know it is pretty much over. I have young kids so it's not me that I'm worried about, if you are abstaining from voting because of the boy scouts, it's pretty much obvious that you really don't care about the future of this country.
 
 
By the way, I love the fact that spell check on this site does not recognize the word Obama!!!

What part of "Please don't turn this into a lesser of two evils thread" did you not understand?

[Doc Brown.]

Gay people should be allowed to do what ever they want to do. They should be able to get married and have kids if they want. I don't think we should have a society that allows religion to rule its people. Even though we aren't out there suicide bombing building over religion right now doesn't mean we aren't as screwed  as the talban.  I have seen gay people all my life and that didn't turn me into a homo. So many people think that gay people have some kind of choice but think about this. Could you have sex with a man. Probably not. Its pretty gross to think about. If I had a gay boyscout leader I would have probably made fun of him to death behind his back but I don't think I would have turned out to be a homo over it. If you don't want your kid to be around the homo then you take your kid out. This means your kid looses out and probably all the other kids. This means we have allowed our religion to get in the way over what. I don't impose my religious beliefs on others and I don't want them to impose them on me. By not allowing gay people to have the same rights and opportunity's as others we are no better than the taliban.
 
To the point of the matter. Romney will say what ever he can to get elected. He is defiantly anti gay marriage and anti gay rights. It ranks higher as an issue for the Tea party and Republican base than the economy.  If he gets in all the Bible clingers and gun nuts will have there wildest wet dreams fantasy's fulfilled.  I think I drove by a tea party rally where they was hanging gays and mexicans on the stage. It was a real hoot. The only thing missing was the pointy white hats.

Something between a rump roast,  and the Lone Ranger ?

dblbass. That was 18 years ago, hussein is today. I don't see how you can support him, but you are. POWDERMAN. 

[dwalk]

another place wheere government intervention in to private affairs.
as i recall, the BSA is PRIVATELY 'OWNED/FUNDED' orginization that recieves no government funding or subsidies and has the right to admit whom they choose, NOT who the government dictates. that was the court ruling long ago.
to me it's the same with ANY privately owned/funded organization...they should have the right to admit who they choose...men, women, homosexuals...NOT who the goverment says they they want to be admitted.
FWIW...i support that position.

“Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate.”  ―    Rick Warren

Powderman,

Did you miss the part where Romney REAFFIRMED THIS POSITION IN 2012 or did you just ignore it because the truth hurts?

[Swampman]

I ignored it......It makes no difference to me.  If Obama would have said it, it would have.  Anything I can use to cost Obama a vote, I will use in any way I can.

It's funny that after all the posts you have in this thread not once have you given an opinion on Romney's personal belief that gays should be allowed in the Boy Scouts.

Hmmmmm.....I wonder why?

ahhh, yes I did. I stated that I don't care what his personal beliefs are about gays in the scouts.
He has no say in the matter anyway... Nor do I care what your personal beliefs are on the matter, even though you keep shoving them down everyone's throats.

Seems that dblbass is doing the same thing against Romney for hussein. POWDERMAN.

In the tradition of Scouting the President of the United States is always the head of the U.S. Boy Scouts. Obama is the first President in history to refuse this title. He has made it clear that he supports Sodomy over scouting.

[lakota]

People should have freedom to associate with whomever they want to. If straight people dont want to associate with gays and not let gays into their clubs that should be their choice. This freedom of association should apply to race and gender as well. We should be free to associate with people of their own choosing without others imposing themselves on that group or having the government do the imposing for them. Everyone should be free to choose their own peer groups. If gays feel that strongly about the boy scouts then why dont they start their own gay version of the boy scouts? They are certainly free to do so. Stop the social engineering.

[yellowtail3]

He has made it clear that he supports Sodomy over scouting.

I missed this; could you proved the quote where the President made it clear that he supports Sodomy over scouting?

Saint Romney is their man.  They will jump through hoops of fire to get him elected.  They pretend to be conservatives, but when he does otherwise, they look the other way.
