I RELINQUISH MY HERITAGE AS A BOY SCOUT



Yesterday, the leadership of one of the most hallowed institutions in the country voted to allow gays into the Boy Scouts.  Not adults, they were quick to say, just kids. 

COMMENTS:
One small step for gays, one giant leap for the destruction of everything the Boy Scouts of America stands for.  My family was very instrumental in the founding of the Boy Scouts of America and undoubtedly, they are rolling over in their graves.  It will only be a matter of time before they allow gay leadership; how can you allow one without the other?  They have Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, why not have the gays go get their Gay Scouts?  This move violates my religious beliefs and ends my contributions to what was the greatest organization for young men in the history of the earth.  As far as I am concerned now, I will pray for their rapid demise. Or, hopefully, someone will start a new organization for young straight men. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Is the Department of Homeland Security forming its own national police force?  Glenn Beck was commenting [yesterday] that he had seen D.H.S. vehicles plastered with “Police” insignias.  (Shelby ~ Anderson, CA)
A. Here’ a webpage for you to look at: http://www.dhs.gov/careers-federal-protective-service.  What they are essentially saying is they have their own police force to provide security for their buildings and equipment and to deal with hazmat issues.  However, it appears to me that they have morphed into a national police force that certainly has cornered the market on ammunition, as we gun owners well-know.  Who needs 1.5 billion rounds to guard their buildings?  Well, now that I think of it, nobody in government seems to be a straight shooter lately. 

Q. The Fox employee, Rosen, who the Department of Justice has been going after… What’s the problem?  It’s like the Wiki-Leaks guy and the National Secrets Act law is clear in that it doesn’t give journalists a free pass.  (Morgan ~ El Monte, CA)
A. The First Amendment trumps everything, and the fact that the law grants no exception to members of the press does not mean that it doesn’t apply.  The Wiki-Leaks guy was not a journalist; he was an entrepreneur, pure and simple.  Just because you write something doesn’t make you a journalist; take William Shakespeare, for instance. (Late add-on: NBC is saying Holder personally authorized the spying.) 

Q. What is your opinion on putting Lois Lerner on Administrative Leave?  I think it sucks.  (Jelacio ~ Santa Ana, CA)
A. Actually, that was a smart move.  In business, it’s called “Administrative Leave Pending Investigation” (results) into wrongdoing.  Right now, suspicions are that she ordered the targeting of conservative individuals and groups by the I.R.S. and we suspect she did it upon someone else’s orders.  She does have the right for someone to prove all of this before losing her job.  However, I do believe in this instance that the leave should be without pay and, if she’s cleared she gets back pay.
