Chicago is moaning, whining and crying over the Olympic loss. Oprah already got her boo-hoo in earlier today. Personally, I don’t see with how given the crime ridden streets City Hall of Chicago how the ICO could have made any other decision.

Go to this link and see what the guy has to say in the video at 1:23. It sums it up. Obama, take note.

Indiana 8th district Congressman Brad Ellsworth (D) is a holder of a master’s degree in criminology from Indiana State University, and the former Vanderburgh County Sheriff. We’d like to know his position regarding Obama’s statement where he recently said, “the Cambridge, MA police department “Acted Stupidly.”

We sent his press secretary the question today via email. We invite you to do the same.

Here’s an example of what you could send.

“Acted Stupidly.”

I was a Boy Scout and made it to Eagle Scout before my troop was disbanded and moved to a location too far away for us to attend. It was an experience I will never forget.

The Boy Scouts of America are a faith-based institution that certainly doesn’t need the White House telling them how to operate. Both the Boy Scouts and the Cub Scouts helped in my formative years, and since 1910 have taught traditional family values.

I remember all to well my father and I building PineWood Derby cars. My Dad, a blue collar hardworking individual was most certainly the neighborhood handyman. But, he was not a PineWood craftsman and quite frankly, our cars didn’t look pretty. They did however make it down the track, and while the trophies were few, the wonderful experiences have never faded from my memory.

In 2000, the Supreme Court ruled that the Scouts can bar homosexuals from being troop leaders.

Because of the Boy Scouts’ exclusionary practices, some public schools across the country tried to limit or end their ties with the organization. But in 2001 the federal government ordered public schools to keep their doors open to the Scouts. And Congress, responding to the threat of campus lockouts, voted to cut federal funding to any school that banned the Scouts or any similar group from “open forum” access.

Taxpayers also fund Boy Scout activities with several millions of dollars through military personnel, federal land use and other assistance. Taxpayers doled out roughly $8 million for the 2005 Jamboree, held every four years.

Gay and atheist activists now hope Obama will signal his disapproval of the Boy Scouts practices or turn the federal faucet off.

The Scouts have been a part of America’s landscape for over 100 years. All the while, doing it without interference from the federal government. Howard Menzer, the president of “Scouting for All” “Gays want to be Boi Scouts Too”, sees it another way.

“No way should he [Obama] be involved with a discriminatory group. That would be the best thing that could happen if he said, ‘You discriminate too much for me. I can’t be your honorary president.’ I think that might begin to change a few things.”

Obama was meeting with a delegation of the Boy Scouts in the Oval Office on Tuesday afternoon, at which time he was to accept the group’s 2008 Report to the Nation.

A Boy Scouts spokesman said Obama has indicated he will accept the title of honorary president.

It should be noted that every president since William Howard Taft in 1910 has held the position of honorary president of the Boy Scouts of America.

What parent of sound mind would want a homosexual scout leader going on camping trips with their young heterosexual male child? Truth be told, none of them. If the gay segment of our society wants a Boi Scout organization, let them start their own. Holy fsck.

As the parent of a former scout, I would have gladly paid extra in the way of dues and fees to avoid federal funding if it meant having my child spend the night camping in the woods with a gay person. They have their lifestyle, heterosexual families have theirs. Why is it they feel the need to push their way into a lifestyle people obviously do not embrace?

I’m no homophobe, but personally, I consider the attempted imposition by the gay community towards the Boy Scouts of American quite unnerving.

What should Obama accomplish in his first thirty days?

Fire away.
