CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 20,2020
THERE’S A LINE IN ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES THAT SPEAKS TO WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA WHICH THIS WEEK FILED FOR BANKRUPTY.
THE LINE FROM “CHARIOTS OF FIRE” IS THIS: “NEVER COMPROMISE, BECAUSE COMPROMISE IS THE LANGUAGE OF THE DEVIL.”
THE BOY SCOUTS, THEN UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF FORMER EXXON CEO AND FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE REX TILLERSON, COMPROMISED THEIR PRINCIPLES AND MORAL CODE IN THE FACE OF PRESSURE, ALLOWING GAY MEN TO BECOME SCOUT LEADERS. IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE PARENTS PULLED THEIR BOYS FROM SCOUTING AND FILED LAWSUITS CLAIMING THEIR SONS HAD BEEN SEXUALLY ABUSED BY SOME SCOUT LEADERS.
IT SEEMS THE LBGT ACTIVISTS ARE ATTACKING EVERY TRADITIONAL FOUNDATION TO FORCE YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS TO EMBRACE AND PROMOTE THEIR LIFESTYLE.
FROM GAY DAY AT DISNEY WORLD, TO DRAQ QUEENS AT PUBLIC SCHOOLS, TO MARRIAGE AND NOW THE BOY SCOUTS, EVERY AMERICAN TRADITION IS UNDER ATTACK. THE BOY SCOUTS HAVE PRODUCED ASTRONAUTS AND POLITICAL LEADERS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE’LL HAVE TO FIND OTHER AVENUES FOR TEACHING YOUNG MEN TO BE “MORALLY STRAIGHT,” WHATEVER THAT MEANS IN TODAY’S WORLD. I’M CAL THOMAS.
