If the homosexual advocates are foolish enough to continue this tirade against such a bastion of "what america stands for" as the Boy Scouts of America, the demise of the homosexual agenda will be much quicker than anyone could have imagined.

As this fury continues, don't forget that these extremist homosexual advocates clamoring for sanctions against the Boy Scouts are being fully supported by EVERY SINGLE HOMOSEXUAL ADVOCACY GROUP IN THE UMC! Through support of this vilification of the Boy Scouts, the rank-and-file membership of the UMC will see the forces which push for normalization of homosexuality just for what they are.

Watch the UMC homosexual advocacy groups during this battle against the Boy Scouts, and see how they react. Their actions now will demonstrate; 1) their political prowess, 2) their connectedness to the most extreme and hateful homosexual groups, 3) their "loving everyone" attitude. This little Boy Scout incident is a significant key to seeing the truth about the homosexual advocacy in the UMC.

In the article below, it says the following about the tactic of the sponsor of the bill against the BSA:

"Rep. Woolsey used a poster during her speech on the House floor displaying headlines from news articles that have falsely reported the status of donations from companies and the United Way."

I can't hardly believe that this elected representative of the U.S. would stand up in Congress and state outright lies. If you've forgotten, here's the link to articles that bring the truth to bear on this false information:

Boy Scouts attacked in Congress Supporters force vote on revoking youth group's charter

By David M. Bresnahan WorldNetDaily.com

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 2000

Using parliamentary procedures to their advantage, members of the Congressional Scouting Caucus last night essentially defeated a bill aimed at punishing the Boy Scouts of America for the organization's ban on homosexual leaders.

The caucus, made up of about 80 Republicans and Democrats and led by Rep. Dana Rohrbacher, R-Calif., was able to bring a bill to the House floor for a vote even though it had never had a hearing in committee. Though the bill was defeated by voice vote, a roll-call vote will be taken today anyway.

H.R. 4892, The Scouting for All Act, sponsored by Rep. Lynn C. Woolsey, D-Calif., would revoke the congressional charter the Boy Scouts of America has held since 1916. The charter was issued to BSA for its efforts to promote "patriotism, courage, self-reliance, and kindred virtues" for young boys, according to language in the document itself.

"Under this circumstance [created by the Clinton Administration's Department of Interior], when the administration has suggested that the Boy Scouts of America should not use federal lands under current executive orders, they need a statement that their charter is in good standing," said Hutchinson.

Congress, he said, must send a message that "we stand with the Boy Scouts of America. That we believe their charter should not be revoked. And that would put an end to the matter -- I would hope," said the Arkansas Republican.

A spokesman for Rohrabacher said the Congressional Scouting Caucus -- formed to defend the Boy Scouts of America -- has an equal number of Democrats and Republicans as members.

"There is a militant push to make homosexuality acceptable to society," he stated, adding that there was a need for a vote on the controversial bill to enable voters to know where their representatives stand on the issue.

Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., who led the fight to pass the bill, complained and said it had been brought to the floor for a vote "as a political stunt."

Conyers quoted from the Cubmaster handbook in an effort to show that Scouts are taught to have courage and oppose anything they find to be wrong. He said children are discriminated against because of their sexual orientation.

"They will not stand up to gay bashing," he said.

Woolsey said, "We're not saying the Boy Scouts are bad; we're saying that intolerance is bad." She said that because the organization will not accept homosexuals as leaders for young boys, those boys are being taught to be intolerant.

"Put simply, a charter is an honorary title Congress awards to organizations that serve a charitable, patriotic and educational purpose. But to me, there's nothing charitable or patriotic about intolerance and it's not a value we want our children to learn," she said.

"Revoking the charter does not cut off federal funding for the Boy Scouts and does not change their tax status. What revoking the charter does is send a clear message that Congress does not support intolerance," said Woolsey when she first introduced the bill in July, and repeated again during the debate.

Cannon and Rohbacher have also teamed up to form Save Our Scouts and a website to gather signatures on a petition supporting the BSA policy towards homosexuals, and to provide a means for people to give donations to the Scouts.

"Instead of attacking the Boy Scouts, we should be celebrating that the Supreme Court has upheld the First Amendment," said Rohbacher in a speech on the House floor.

He said the Boy Scouts have maintained a moral standard rejected by the liberal left. He also referred to an incident at the Democratic National Convention when six boys in scout uniforms were booed as "despicable."

He went on to term the many recent attacks on the Boy Scouts as malicious, saying groups are trying to put a stop to donations to the BSA in an effort to "force them into submission."

"It is this bill, not the Boy Scouts, that promotes intolerance," said Rep. Steve Buyer, R-Ind. "All the Boy Scouts ask is that others tolerate its beliefs."

Buyer added that the Boy Scouts are "a model on how to be inclusive," and he concluded that "we should commend, not punish."

Cannon said Save Our Scouts was formed to provide a way for people to donate, saying he hopes people will use the site to send donations to the Boy Scouts to make up for any funds lost because of pressure from homosexual activists.

WorldNetDaily recently reported that some media claims that companies have pulled their funding from the Boy Scouts have proven to be false. Woolsey used a poster during her speech on the House floor displaying headlines from news articles that have falsely reported the status of donations from companies and the United Way.

Rep. Bob Barr, R-Ga., also mentioned the jeering incident at the recent Democratic National Convention. That event seemed to be the start of recent protests against the BSA.

"They ought to be ashamed," said Barr of the Democrats. "Morally straight, that's what they find so reprehensible. Have they no shame?" asked Barr, referring to the now-controversial phrase in the Boy Scout Oath.

Woolsey compared the fight with the Boy Scouts to the civil rights movement. She compared the BSA ban against homosexuals with discrimination against blacks.

"It is wrong for the BSA to discriminate against gays today," she said.

Rep. Cass Ballenger, R-N.C., was critical of Woolsey and her supporters.

"Now it seems some in Congress want to legislate what these core values should be," he said, adding that the Boy Scouts are "as American as apple pie and baseball" and should be defended.

"Indeed the Boy Scouts do good work. My point is that all boys should be involved in scouting, not just some boys," said Woolsey.

The Traditional Values Coalition responded to the House vote on Woolsey's bill by warning that the attack on the Boy Scouts is only the first step by homosexual activists.

"It will not be long before the Clinton-Gore administration and the radical homosexuals come for Bible-believing churches which teach and preach against homosexuality," warned Rev. Louis P. Sheldon, chairman of the group which represents 43,000 churches.
