maybe he doesn't want to associate himself with a group that discriminates against 10% of the population.
just sayin'
and it would be nice if the rightwingnuts noted that st reagan didn't go for the eight years he was in office...
just like other presidents send surrogates for other ceremonial purposes.
but the obama derangement syndrome is strong on this board.
you people are seriously screwed up.
every day i think y'all can't get more stupid...
and then i get online and find a thread like this.
Jillian, I already disproved the theory that Reagan skipped the TWO jamborees that were held while he was in office (Remember they are held only once every four years.) If you can't acknowledge those facts you are as screwed up as the ones you claim are screwed up.
Also, as you well know the BSA have EVERY right to exclude gays.
They also exclude atheists...and the children of gays and atheists.
And Obama has EVERY right to not go. (yes, I know you agree...just pointing it out)
Well, you are patently wrong about a few things. They don't exclude the children of gays, or atheists, or any other children. Not without cause. Now obviously if that child's parent is down causing problems or what have you then they might exclude that child if the problem becomes bad enough, although it is much more likely that they will simply ask the parent to stay away, which of course a trouble maker wouldn't and so action would have to be taken against the child. I can tell you for absolute fact that not all parents of Boy Scouts are Christians, nor all the kids. I would suspect that despite the ruling, their are some gay children and leaders in the Scouts, the same as there is in the military, the thing is they serve QUIETLY , at least as far as their gayness is concerned, and lo and behold no one has a problem with them being there. Well, ok I shouldn't say no one b/c there are a few nutbags out there who believe gays are more likely to be pedophiles and such but the average person even the average Christian who believes gay is a sin doesn't believe a gay is anymore likely to molest kids than a straight person.
So although it's unrelated to this thread, I would like to know why so many gays feel the need to throw their gay in the faces of anyone and everyone. As I've said I personally am friends with a gay man. He is quiet, VERY quiet about it though. I mean now that we all know we tease him and shit about girls and he'll gross us out on occasion by telling us some guy on guy stories, but its all in good fun when we're in the proper setting for that type of behavior, he would no more do it inappropriately than I would discuss my wife inappropriately etc etc. But it DOES seem that more gays are inappropriate about their sexual lives than straights. Why?
Now back to Obama. IMO he should have attended the Jamboree. It was their 100th birthday, and like them or not they have done a lot of good in this country; and that was his only chance to attend a jamboree as President. But the fact that he didn't isn't near as big of deal as some want to make it out to be.
