    I feel bad for the parents who thought they were bringing their kids to a normal boy scout gathering and ended up at an indoctrination rally.

    Trump can still go lower. That's just what we must expect.

    It's a sad day in America when the ******n Boy Scouts know more about what a President should be speaking about than the actual President himself.

    But are you surprised? That's what happens when you send a reality TV show host to the Oval Office. He never actually stops being a reality TV show host.

    Actually, Obama lost the Boy Scout audience in 2010 when he didn't show up at the Jamboree for the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America. The President spoke inappropriately to the Scouts. He should have stuck with his pre-written speech, which was appropriate.

    It's a standard hogwash disclaimer. You can find one for this site worded almost identically. Big whoop.

    Don't count your chickens before they hatch... A few parents whined about the jamboree. It's a safe bet that more kids will be joining now. The numbers dipped badly when Obama was propping up queers and trannies being in the Boy Scouts, they're not gonna dip now. Sorry, again, for your loss.

    That's a joke. Nothing in their speeches was political? I'll bet money they were. This is just another fake assertion from the left to base a criticism on. It doesn't hold water when you knock the basis out from under it.
    I read your playbook. Alinsky is a dead hand.

    What's bigoted about "queer?" You people and your hypersensitive melodrama never cease to amaze.

    An authoritarian does not necessarily accomplish much, and I believe that Trump qualifies.

    Definition IS needed obviously... You see, a bigot is a person who is intolerant toward those holding different opinions. You actually fit the definition well.

    If he stays true to form, he will get on twitter and bad-mouth the Boys Scouts now.

    His remarks were idiotic - at one point thanking children for voting for him!
    What an egocentric, delusional, psychopath.
    I am glad my children are grown so I don't have to explain away this travesty in the White House.

    Everything the man says is about HIM - the fools who think he cares about them are, well, fools!

    Quite a collection but not quite enough to close down an Interstate. Maybe a cry-in?

    Is there any documentation that Obama was in the BSA? A similar organization in Jakarta doesn't really count, You can't call all Colas a Coke.

    Intolerance definition:
    1. lack of tolerance; unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect opinions or beliefs contrary to one's own.
    2. unwillingness or refusal to tolerate or respect persons of a different social group, especially members of a minority group.

    I think I am quite tolerant towards other opinions, social groups and minorities. That doesn't mean that I have to tolerate antisocial, psychopathic, or narcissist behavior displayed by Trump.

    Would you let him within 100 feet of your daughter? If not, does that make you intolerant? No, it doesn't.

    So would you characterize yourself more like Archie Bunker or his SIL, Meathead?

    Trump is a fighter. In case you haven't noticed, he's in a death match with the entrenched political establishment. Either he will break their solid grip on power or he'll die trying.

    That's the way it is. But I would have have gone non-political at the Boy Scouts.

    On the other hand, why coddle, young men. That would insult their intelligence.
    Trump is openly fighting against PC.

    Coddle them with purely opinionated partisan politics? Really helpful. Breaking 80 years of tradition and making the The Boyscouts of America release statements distancing themselves from Trump insults everyone's intelligence.

    Might as well make the best of it and have a little innocent fun with the disaster. He's just going to whine that everone is being mean to him anyway.

    It's not as if there are wacko birds insisting he was born in Kenya and depicting him as an African witch doctor.
