The Left Never Builds, It Only Destroys

I will use the Boy Scouts as an example. Boy Scouts was created so that young men could learn what it takes to be honest hard working men that will benefit society. The left does it best to tear it apart and destroy it.

Where is the leftist version of the Boy Scouts to build character and a sense of civic duty in young men?

I think you don't understand the history of the boy scouts. The Right Wing didn't create it, it only hijacked it and imposed their religious stupidity on them.
The left lies as well as destroys.

Founder's views[edit]
When creating the Scouting method, Baden-Powell was adamant that there was a place for God within it.

In Scouting for Boys, Baden-Powell wrote specifically about Christianity, since he was writing for youth groups in the United Kingdom:

We aim for the practice of Christianity in their everyday life and dealings, and not merely the profession of theology on Sundays…[1]

Indeed, the Scout Promise as originally written by Baden-Powell states that Scout does their "duty to God".

However, the founder's position moved shortly after the Scout movement began to grow rapidly around the world, and his writings and speeches allowed for all religions. He did continue to emphasise that God was a part of a Scout's life, without dictating a particular faith:

When asked where religion came into Scouting and Guiding, Baden-Powell replied, It does not come in at all. It is already there. It is a fundamental factor underlying Scouting and Guiding.[2]

Though we hold no brief for any one form of belief over another, we see a way to helping all by carrying the same principle into practice as is now being employed in other branches of education…[3]

Take a negative instance. A Mahommedan Guider comes to England and addresses a lot of Girl Guides on religion, in the course of which she quotes Mahomet as the one divine teacher. This in spite of the fact that her audience are believers in Christ. How would you regard her action? As tactless, as insulting, as fanatical? At any rate it wouldn't be exactly polite or in accordance with our laws of courtesy. Yet I have known Christian Guiders as well as Scouters do exactly the same thing with Jews or Hindoos or people of other beliefs present, and these on their part have sat under it, too polite to raise objections but none the less made uncomfortable by it. Once, at a mixed gathering at a 'Scout's Own' a speaker carefully avoided much reference to Christ and was accused by some there of 'denying Him'. His defence was that he was rather following Christ in that he was showing Christian deference to the feelings of others who, equally with himself, were sons of one Father, under whatever form they rendered homage to God.[4]

Baden-Powell's gravestone bears no cross or other religious symbol. Rather, in addition to the Boy Scout and Girl Guide Badges, it bears a circle with a dot in the centre, the trail sign for "Going home" / "I have gone home": .[5]

Desperate men needing a job were leftists?

Your desperation is pure entertainment.

LOL- so was the Civilian Conservation Corp- the employers of those men- a creation of the "Left" or the "Right"

Let me show you more

Leftists of today, those were liberals and they are all dead.

LOL- ah just like evolution- Weatherboy just creates his own definitions of convenience.
Your best shot is events from almost a century ago. I'm not going to educate you. If you had a room temperature IQ you'd know you just validated the OP.[/QUOTE]

THERE IS NONE. THE LEFT ONLY DESTROY, NEVER BUILD.

Likewise with individual lives devoted to the poor. Sure, there are secular and left-wing organizations devoted to the poor, but the individuals who give up their lives to the poorest in America and the world, like the members of Salvation Army at home and the Mother Teresas abroad, are overwhelmingly religious (and to be fair, Christian).

Charity work to get the poor on their feet is largely conducted by Christian conservatives. Sure there are secular organizations doing magnificent work in the poorest parts of the world — Doctors Without Borders is a well-known example — but I would bet that the number of religious individuals who give their lives for virtually no pay to the worst off in America and around the world is far greater than the number of irreligious individuals.

So what's on the left's agenda over and over? Tax charities. They must be destroyed.

And just as there is no left-wing Boy Scouts, there is no Salvation Army built and manned by people with left-wing values. Nor has there ever been a left-wing country as magnanimous, as willing to die for others, as opportunity-giving to people from all over the world, as America, whose greatness comes from its traditional secular values and its Judeo-Christian values. As with the Boy Scouts, the left can bring an America down, but it cannot build one.

And don't spew the BS the Founding Fathers were leftists. They were liberals like I am that worked with others for the betterment of mankind. Not create a huge government that keeps its boot on every neck like leftists want. And freedom of speech, we all know what the leftists are up to as far as trying to destroy free speech. Leftists despise personal freedoms of Americans.
So....you don't like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution....and yes, our Founders were Liberals...the Tories were the Con-servatives.

But feel free to continue talking about Blazing Saddles.
The founding fathers weren't liberals by any stretch.
If they were alive today they would make any conservative, short of a Islamic Radical, look like a liberal.
They were innovative, not liberals.
This is yet another example of the commie bastards on the left trying to glam onto conservative ideas, the way they snatched blacks away from the Republican Party with a bunch of false promises and free shit.

Liberals have no good ideas.

They just steal everyone else's.

By the standards of the day, they absolutely were 'liberal'- since the non-liberals were all monarchists.

Pffffffffffffft. Liberalism is exactly what built this country and wrote its Constitution. Which btw doesn't make them "left" or "right". Go buy a PoliSci book.

Here, let's get you started:
>> Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality.[1][2][3] Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programmes such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, gender equality, and international cooperation.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10]

Liberalism first became a distinct political movement during the Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among philosophers and economists in the Western world. Liberalism rejected the prevailing social and political norms of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings. The 17th-century philosopher John Locke is often credited with founding liberalism as a distinct philosophical tradition. Locke argued that each man has a natural right to life, liberty and property,[11] while adding that governments must not violate these rights based on the social contract. Liberals opposed traditional conservatism and sought to replace absolutism in government with representative democracy and the rule of law.

Leaders in the Glorious Revolution of 1688,[12] the American Revolution of 1776, and the French Revolution of 1789 used liberal philosophy to justify the armed overthrow of royal tyranny. << (Wiki)​

"The Citizens of the United States of America have a right to applaud themselves for having given to mankind examples of an enlarged and Liberal policy: a policy worthy of imitation. All possess alike liberty of conscience and immunities of citizenship. It is now no more that toleration is spoken of, as if it was by the indulgence of one class of people, that another enjoyed the exercise of their inherent natural rights." -- George Washington, 1790

Just for the record, the Boulder Dam (renamed Hoover Dam later) was begun during the Hoover Administration, and was completed during FDR's Administration.

The TVA was established during FDR's Adminstration and is still around today.

The PWA was also established by FDR, and every state and local government has a public words administration which builds our infrastructure to this very day.

And the price of tea in China went up today.

You validate the OP yet again by showing the left will not lift a finger themselves.
 
Was FDR and the New Deal left or right? There is a lot of stuff built from that era that is still standing and still being used. Stuff like infrastructure.

Sure, there are secular and left-wing organizations devoted to the poor, but the individuals who give up their lives to the poorest in America and the world, like the members of Salvation Army at home and the Mother Teresas abroad, are overwhelmingly religious (and to be fair, Christian).

Quite a few of those Christian churches who work with the poor are liberal, retard. :lol:

You ever hear of REVEREND Martin Luther King, Jr.?
recall that he was a rep.

You recall incorrectly

The idea that King was a Republican is built on a historical sleight of hand. King's father, the Rev. Martin Luther "Daddy" King Sr., was a Republican. But so were many blacks in the early to mid-20th century. Then the Republican Party was the party of Abraham Lincoln, the Great Liberator. That party identification, though, started shifting in the mid- to late 20th century as Democratic presidents began championing civil rights.
(Daddy King publicly shifted allegiance to the Democrats when President John F. Kennedy displayed public sympathy for his son.)
