FROM THE CHIEF: OUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE PRESIDENTIAL VISIT

[dalton99a]

1. rhetoric that was inserted by unknown person or persons

[Wellstone ruled]

2. Sounds like a ton of Scout Masters and their

Assistants as well as Sponsor Groups have pulled their Memberships and this is a attempt to stop the hemorrhaging.

3. Bullshit apology! What Trump said was offensive, period!

[maxsolomon]

4. between a rock and a hard place

they have parents/donors on both sides of the divide.

they should never have invited his dumb ass.

5. the republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief pissed all over The Scout Laws

in front of thousands of young Scouts. And not one adult Scout leader had the courage or integrity to stand and to affirm The Scout Law that the BSA claims to live by. Not one adult Scout leader stood to give an example of what it means to be a responsible adult who actually adheres to The Scout Law. They whimped out at a crucial moment, and they still don't get it.

If you stand by and watch a bully piss all over the principles you claim to believe in, and you do nothing and say nothing, you are condoning it. This is the big Boy Scout fail.

They have disgraced themselves by failing to stand up for what they claim are their moral and ethical principles. In other words, in their hypocrisy the BSA acted like a pack of republicans. Shame on them.

7. Remember when he tried that in a church in Flint, MI? The pastor stepped up to

him at the lectern and told him to knock it off:
