Gay Mafia Goes After Boy Scouts

In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that as a private group, the Boy Scouts of America can ban homosexuals from membership withing its organization. However, that ruling hasn't stopped the city of Philadelphia from increasing the Boy Scouts rent from $1 a year to $200,000 all because the Scouts are supposedly violating city anti-discrimination laws. Now a community that for decades has seen all the good deeds the Scouts have done for thousands of urban youth, is outraged, and rightfully so:

Philadelphia - Perhaps reacting to the avalanche of 150,000 emails supporting local Boy Scouts that nearly crashed the city's computers this week, word of an impending settlement hit City Council Thursday.

The city has told Boy Scouts' local Cradle of Liberty Council it must comply with city non-discrimination policies. The national organization does not allow openly homosexual members.

If the Cradle of Liberty Council cannot comply with city non-discrimination policies it has been told it must either pay market value rent of $200,000 a year to the city or abandon the city-owned Fairmount Park building the Boy Scouts built and have occupied since 1927. City Council, the Street Administration and the Fairmount Park Board are unanimous in this demand.

Thursday, Councilman Jack Kelly introduced a resolution asking the city to give the Boy Scouts as much time as they need to find a new headquarters. The resolution also called on the city to reimburse the Scouts for improvements made to the building. "It's an issue of fairness," Councilman Kelly argued to his colleagues. "They are being penalized for the policies of the national organization. I don't want to have to kick out an organization that keeps 40,000 kids off the streets."

That's right, 40,000 kids. But the City Council of Philly has no interest in the needs and wants of the youth within their crime-plagued city. Instead they cater to hate laws designed to abolish moral fortitude.

Ann Coulter Quote of the Day!

"Liberals claim to be terrified that the Religious Right is going to take over the culture in a country where more than a million babies are exterminated every year, kindergarteners can be expelled from school for mentioning God, and Islamic fascists are welcomed on college campuses while speakers opposed to Islamic fascism are met with angry protests. If liberals want to face real fascism, try showing up on a college campus and denouncing fascism."

Barbara Boxer on California Wildfires: Blame Bush!

As to be expected, the usual idiots on the Left are evoking Bush Derangement Syndrome on the California wildfires:

California has four seasons, the old joke goes: earthquake, fire, flood and drought. And we do mean old; we remember hearing it as a boy in Southern California. But these days any unpleasant but normal occurrence--from hurricanes to poverty to bad government in the Middle East--is President Bush's fault, and this is no exception.

The Hill reports on one effort to link the president to California's current fires:

"One reason why we have the fires in California is global warming," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) told reporters Tuesday, stressing the need to pass the Democrats' comprehensive energy package.

Moments later, when asked by a reporter if he really believed global warming caused the fires, he appeared to back away from his comments, saying there are many factors that contributed to the disaster.

Of course, global warming is Bush's fault, and so are most if not all of the others, as a Reid colleague tells the Associated Press:

California Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer complained on Capitol Hill Tuesday that the ability of the state's National Guard to respond to disasters like the fires has been compromised because too much of its equipment and personnel are committed in Iraq.

Our theory is that George Bush doesn't care about lawyers.

Pete Stark Finally Says Sorry

The liberal turd from the Bay apologizes for his disgraceful remarks and cries about it afterwards:

WASHINGTON — Democratic Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark of California apologized Tuesday for comments he made last week suggesting President Bush was sending troops to Iraq to get their "heads blown off for his amusement."

The apology came after the House voted 196-173 with eight members voting present to table a resolution introduced by House Minority Leader John Boehner censuring Stark.

Though the motion amounts to a failed vote, Stark addressed fellow lawmakers afterward to apologize.

"I want to apologize first of all to my colleagues, many of whom I have offended, to the president. his family, to the troops that may have found (offense) in my remarks as were suggested in the motion that we just voted on, and I do apologize. ... With this apology I will become as insignificant as I should be and we can return to the issues that do divide us but that we can resolve," Stark said to applause.

After his mea culpa, Stark walked walked off the floor to the Democratic side of the chamber and for at least five minutes stood sobbing while fellow Democrats gathered around him. Reporters close to the Speaker's Lobby were not able to hear why he was crying.

There isn't any doubt in my mind that Stark meant every word he said when he attacked Bush, and only apologized because the Democratic leadership refused to stand by him. And while we know now that Stark is nothing but an insignificant blathering idiot, the fact that only 5 Democrats joined in wanting to censure Stark is yet another victory for the despicable George Soros-run Left.

Ruth Ginsburg Guarantees Roe vs. Wade Will Stay

The ACLU lawyer, far-Left liberal and Bill Clinton nominee speaks on her role on the nation's highest bench:

Bader Ginsburg noted the court has had a series of 5-4 decision despite the initial consensus that followed Chief Justice John Roberts' first year in 2005. She said she has read two dissents aloud from the bench — a high-profile move to send a message about her disapproval of some of those opinions.

One of those decisions allowed states to outlaw a procedure known as partial-birth abortion; Bader Ginsburg complained that the state law in question allowed no exception to protect the health of the mother.

The justice said she did not expect the court to overturn Roe v. Wade, the decision that made abortion a constitutional right. But she contended that even if the court disposed of the right, abortion would still be widely available.

The difference would be that middle-class women would be able to travel to a state that allowed the procedure, while poor women would be trapped — much as in the days before Roe v. Wade, when a woman who could afford to do so could go to New York, California or Hawaii to have an abortion.

"It would have a devastating impact on poor women," she said of any reversal of the 1973 decision.

Of the court's decisions, Bush v. Gore was an "endurance" contest that the minority thought should be handled by political process, involving Congress if necessary, rather than through judicial fiat, she said. The majority thought the nation preferred the court to end the matter.

"Political process"! What a joke! That's just code words for "until Al Gore found the votes he needed to win Florida". And of course, she speaks nothing about the responsibility of "poor women" to make better choices regarding sex, condoms and who they sleep with. But that's the liberal way: they haven't been able to find a "poor gene" yet, so nothing like continuing to trump the victim card.

Giuliani And Religious Right Don't Belong Together

Good news for Mitt Romney:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney narrowly won a Republican presidential straw poll of Christian conservatives on Saturday, while Rudy Giuliani persuaded few to look past his support of abortion rights.

The poll at a summit of self-styled values voters was largely symbolic but highlighted the continuing failure of ardent anti-abortion social conservatives to rally behind a single Republican candidate in the 2008 White House race.

Romney took 27.6 percent of almost 6,000 votes cast, just ahead of Mike Huckabee, the folksy former governor of Arkansas, who gained 27.1 percent at the conference organized by the Family Research Council.

Maverick Texas Congressman Ron Paul was third with almost 15 percent while former Tennessee Sen. Fred Thompson got under 10 percent, a major disappointment for his campaign.

Giuliani was eighth with 107 votes -- under 2 percent.

I'm still amazed by people holding righteous views about how the religious right should ignore their principles, ignore Giuliani's social record and vote for him anyway. Rudy and Judi Giuliani are serial adulterers. Rudy supports gay rights. And he's pro-abortion to the point that he declared "Planned Parenthood Day" in New York City and was even honored at a NARAL banquet. Back in 2000, during a senatorial campaign, Rudy refused to condemn partial-birth abortions. Christian conservatives have no reason to trust Rudy Giuliani and nor should they, he's against everything they stand for and believe in.
