This item is typical of protest movement with regard to Boy Scouts being invaded by Gay Pride.....note the AIDS movement now they have also included. Link this movement up with other in this united effort and you find the truth behind what and who is behind same. So Gay Pride would push the Boy Scouts and little Cub Scouts into their world of AIDS - most people do not permit discussions of such a perverse nature to be discussed around small children. Welcome to their world of darkness and perversion - like hell - the Boy Scouts of America would disband but then they have the Supreme Court decision to back up THEIR RIGHT NOT TO PERMIT homosexuals in their midst targeting their children. Note their song is "We Shall Overcome"......maybe it is about time to start a Cruade for Save Our CHILdren from the Sodomists and the Michael Jacksons of the We Are The World who pranced with the children on the Democrat Platformdomist Clinton. Saba Pull up subject matter and read what these people have to say and see how they throw the challenge to us to protect our children by holding the AIDS crap out in front of the Boy Scout movement?
