May each of you have the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute works that will leave the world a little better for your having been here. -- Ronald Reagan

Boy Scouts Anniversary-Did You Miss It?

I missed it, didn't see it, or hear about it, in the Jurassic Press at all. Of course they're against the Boy Scouts, mostly because the Boy Scouts Organization doesn't want male pedophile homosexuals being scout leaders. One would think after what happened in the Catholic Church, there might be a lesson learned there. Guess not.

Here's a typical comment from what coverage there was:
"They're young symbols of virtue, honest, trustworthy, doers of good deed and builders of camp fires." "For a century now, the Boy Scouts have been the living image of a creed that's both corny and charming in its innocence." Ron Claiborne, ABC's "Good Morning America"

The Boy Scout's Creed: "A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent." Surely deserving of mockery, who would want young men to act like that?

The Statist courts that set free pedophiles on a regular basis, consistently rule against the Boy Scouts. Jurassic Press articles and shows consistently demean and mock the Boy Scouts.

March was the 100th Anniversary of this great group that teaches young men to be good citizens, disciplined, and kind. The Jurassic Press used the whole month to bash them and have on gay activists to support their vile, lying, disrespectful agenda against people with traditional values. Very little was said about how many young men benefited, and how society has benefited from the training and direction given by the Boy Scouts.

I say, stay the course Boy Scouts! Here's to 100 more years of kindness, reverence and respect for all.

Now They Want to Control What Kind of Knives We Have

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP), through the upcoming Homeland Security appropriations bill is attempting to redefine what a switchblade is. The original definition is 50 years old. The legislation allegedly only affects imported knives.

The Switchblade Knife Act of 1958, defined a "switchblade" as any knife having a blade that opens automatically by hand pressure applied to a button or other device in the handle, or by operation of inertia or gravity.

The new definition would include any spring-assisted or one-handed-opening knife. Which is just about any pocket knife really. Do you have a pocket knife? Is your son a boy scout? Legislative analysts say the legislation is too broad and not specific enough, so that it could be used retroactively, making anyone with a folding pocket knife a federal criminal.

Who knew folding pocket knives were a national security threat? The reason for the modified legislation is to clarify definitions for border patrol and customs agents.

That's the way to take care of national security. Go after pocket knives and have open borders.

Plus, aren't appropriations bills budget requests? Shouldn't changes to laws be separate?

Yet another example of the Statist Obama administration trying to control every every every detail of our lives... finances, what cars we drive, our medical decisions, what kind and how much energy we use, how much of our income we keep, and now, what kind of knife we have. Statists must control even the smallest details of our lives so there's no wiggle room. The more you do that violates the law, the more power and control they have.

America used to be about liberty and choices. We are quickly headed in a direction of having only one choice left...the choice to abort our babies.
