I said ” Go kiss up to your UN Master. ”

Mind homosexuality was considered a crime for over two hundred years before some activist judges decided it was not. It is infact a crime against the natural law right to life and health. So to a patriotic American the Boy Scouts discrimination is justified why yours is not. Go kiss up to your UN Master.

It's not a matter of freedom of speech here. They can discriminate all they want, but they can't expect to receive government funding.

That is a violation of the freedom of speech. I know if a government did this to a pro choice group that planned parenthood would take them to court and the ACLU would be backing PP because that is what they did on the choose life plates.

I saw this over at Stop the ACLU and it really struck me as funny, well maybe not funny considering the current state of Philadelphia government and city life. Here Philadelphia is in the throes of a city wide crime wave that is killing the next generation of cheesesteak loving, Eagles cheering, yo speaking citizens, and Mayor Street decides he wants to evict the 3rd largest Boy Scout Council in America.

I have no problem with this decision. Private organizations should find private buildings to have their meetings. This is a great example of the dangers of mixing with the Beast we call government.
