Boy Scouts booted by Philadelphia

The Boy Scouts come under attack from the city that gives "Brotherly Love" a new meaning....

From World Net Daily --

On Thursday, the Philadelphia City Council voted 16 to 1 to eject the Boy Scouts from a headquarters building they've been using since 1928. The agreement 79 years ago was that the Scouts' Cradle of Liberty Council could lease the building at a low cost "in perpetuity." Now, the city is bringing its partnership with the Boy Scouts to an end.

What is it that the Philadelphia City Council is so upset about? Well, it goes like this: "On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country, and to obey the Scout Law, to help other people at all times, to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight." That's the Scout Oath, which every Scout knows by heart and strives to live by.

And so it is the tyranny of political correctness has overturned the cradle of liberty. The city council's message to the 40,000 Boy Scouts in Philadelphia is one they shouldn't even be allowed to hear. The message is that the city of Philadelphia no longer supports the idea of self-government on which our Constitution rests.

All we can do now is e-mail Philadelphia Mayor John Street and let him know where we stand on this matter. More.....
