Is this Vanguard movement open to non-Mormons?<br /><br />Ray, as a conservative heterosexual white male, I doubt I would be allowed anywhere near a troop of boy scouts...unless they were to be offered merit badges for beating me senseless, I suppose.<br /><br />Jack, I agree with the dictum that the military should be above politics. Of course, that would mean that, if criticizing critical race theory is out of bounds, then supporting BLM would be too. And we can safely assume that such is NOT the case.<br /><br />Jack, I wouldn't subject any son of mine to the wokery of the modern Boy Scouts. Perhaps we need "Trump Scouts"? He ought to have thought of that a long time ago!<br /><br />Ray, I tend to agree that the Left is subsuming every institution, one by one, so why not the Boy Scouts too? In relatively few institutions, however, have they managed to expel ALL conservatives, and Jack is right that we need to maintain a toehold where we can...<br /><br />I tend to agree that a majority of Americans aren't conservative. In fact, I'd say that's fairly obvious. Are a majority "woke"? That I'm a lot less sure of, but "woke" could mean almost anything. Do most Americans buy, to a point, the notion of America as a racist country? Perhaps. Do most Americans dislike and disapprove of Trump? It seems so. Do most Americans want more government rather than less? When the chips are down, I'd say yes. In strictly partisan or ideological terms, though, I'd also say that neither party or movement (progressivism vs. conservatism) enjoys majority support. There's a small but meaningful group of "moderates" and independents who vacillate back and forth. They ARE with us on a lot of issues, but the media labors mightily to becloud those issues and to redirect public attention to what they consider more favorable ground (like racism). I guess what that means is that many Americans may be more conservative than they realize, or are permitted to realize.Nicholas Waddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650770835328089297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-43027298342714579862021-05-17T23:45:36.287-04:002021-05-17T23:45:36.287-04:00If the truth be told, the reason "the way thi...If the truth be told, the reason "the way things are" is simply BECAUSE (always a great qualifying word) the majority of the American population actually believe in Wokeness and related forms of bullshit, or are too damn dumb to know or care what is going on. (Go to your local mall and take a look at examples of the current gene pool). The impression is given that a great number of people out there are patriot and conservative Americans. I don't think so. I would say a minority of Americans are in that category. If the majority of Americans really were conservative and so on, we would not be in this bullshit, period.

Lots and lots of organizations have been and will be taken over by The Left. They took the education system, the media, the film industry and sports over 50 years ago, so why not BSA? Maybe the Rapture will occur before the sons of bitches completely take over what is left in our silly ass, dingbat, pissant society.

Most parents of Scouts probably are of less than extreme left views. Why not say to their Scouts : " Eagle is a great accomplishment but, temporarily, we want to reject it because the Scouting organization for now forces Eagles to go along with ideas which, as they are forced, are wrong. We will honor your accomplishment of the rank just below Eagle as we would have your ascension to Eagle.

Its object is clear: the Scouts stood for traditional values and were vital in inculcating them in youth. Naturally that made them a prime target of Marxist dissembling. We have lost them. Our response can only be to create another youth group supporting positive, common sense standards, yet in the face of withering Marxist assault unimaginable in the'50s! That contrast should make abundantly clear what is at hazard. But oh, the Scouts, the Scouts!

To rise to very high rank in the military is an arduous process, fraught with sometimes humiliating and frustrating political hazards even within their Service. They face the possibility of career destroying sanctions should they express dissent. The military culture emphasizes obediance to orders. It is an ONEROUS reality that the again in executive command military hating American left exercises, with vindictive delight, its present ability to present Marxist hooey to the military as COMMAND! It fairly predicts their intent to impose with similarly irresistable authority, the same, as soon as they can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511148187940933062.post-55293462687132494812021-05-17T13:15:53.984-04:002021-05-17T13:15:53.984-04:00Dr. Waddy

Just joking. <br /><br />I have a friend who was active in scouts back in the 1990s (The Clintonista years), and he said that back then there was a lot of pressure beginning to push the ticket on Gays in Scouting.

With the changes in the BSA made in 2020, the Church decided they no longer wished to be associated with the new BSA, so they organized the Vanguard International Scouting Organization. Glad to see that happen. At least that particular religious organization seems to retain some sort of clout the progressive pukes have not been able to destroy, yet. Raynoreply@blogger.com
