Philly’s Liberals Throw African Americans Under The Bus
July 31st, 2006 at 10:09 am by CrankyThe city wage tax; excessive union influence; 40,000 abandoned homes – all sad indicators of a government that doesn’t have the priorities of running a city well at heart.
And now, in a drastic effort to improve itself, the City is taking on the Boy Scouts. You see, Philadelphia’s very active Boy Scouts Chapter in the city is the victim of a blindside attack.
When you envision the Boy Scouts, you probably have an image of a suburban troop of mostly white kids camping. I’m pretty sure that this is what the Gay and Lesbian activists see as they worked with the city solicitor general Romulo L. Diaz Jr. to evict them from a city build which they’ve occupied since 1928 and pay $60,000 annually to maintain.
This troop, known as the Cradle of Liberty Council is extremely inclusive and performs tremendous services to the underprivileged, largely African American children, in the City.
From Michael Smerconish:
Not only does the city not hear Lewis’ wisdom, but it’s about to contradict his logic by undercutting a private group that preaches ethics, values and morality to young people who could otherwise fall into the grip of urban violence. At a time when young black people are dying in the streets, the mayor has set his sight on the Boy Scouts.
…
So guess who is poised to lose out? Not some Hitler youth. No, the losers are more than 40,000 local kids in grades K-12 who participate in programs called Learning for Life, or ScoutReach.
Learning for Life is a values-based, life-skills program run in collaboration with the city schools. The youths are taught by district teachers. ScoutReach helps to meet the developmental needs of young boys in Philadelphia, Montgomery and Delaware counties. By emphasizing ethics and moral values, ScoutReach addresses many of the social concerns of parents and youth in our area.
Values. Ethics. Morals. Just the kind of things to throw away at a time when the city is in crisis, as long as the city involved is this one.
And there is something else significant about Learning for Life: The program is absolutely nondiscriminatory!
Disgusting.
The anti Boy Scout crusade continues because right thinking people cannot tolerate their policies, and if I can venture a guess, their stance on morals.
As this excellent article stresses, the losers are those poor children who are the benefactors of the mythical Liberal Caring.
You know how some say, “I love God, but I’m against organized religion?”
Well, I have no problem with homosexuals, but I’m against “organized homosexuality”.
Yet another reason I steer clear of the City whenever possible.

Dear Preston,
Again, I couldn’t agree more with you. As an Eagle Scout, the lessons learned from Scouting are invaluable–strong work ethic, team work, etc. inlcuding tolerance–that is TOLERANCE. Apparanently, organized homo. has’t the tolerance for organizations that teach young boys skills and responsibility. Maybe that is what they are after-the responsibility to shape young boys.

Homely, this was the work of Cranky, which I fully endorse.
And, Cranky, haven’t we come a long way? From the back of the bus to directly underneath it! That’s progress!
