Part of me wants to shun the scouts from now on. \u00a0Part of me sympathizes<\/a>. \u00a0After all, pro-gay and liberal groups have been hammering them for decades, filing lawsuits, digging up any dirt they could find with the help of the media establishment, pressing companies to boycott them, cutting off financial help, running them off of public lands. \u00a0It wasn\u2019t easy being a Capitalist in the former Soviet Union. \u00a0It\u2019s not easy standing up to traditional values in the modern progressive Soviet. \u00a0The big difference is that people then understood they were in the\u00a0cross-hairs\u00a0of a terribly\u00a0oppressive\u00a0government. \u00a0Because too many Americans confuse liberal sexual values with tolerance and enlightened administration of government, this flagrant assault on others for failing to conform in a way that would shame a 17th century puritan is completely overlooked. \u00a0So perhaps I\u2019ll still buy the popcorn. \u00a0Maybe I won\u2019t. \u00a0But my heart goes out to one more relic of a pre-Progressive world that fell under the crushing boot of liberalism\u2019s dogmatic definitions of diversity. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
