Boy Scouts of America have just sacrificed themselves on the alter of Cultural Marxism (aka P.C.)

BSA_Goad-and-CountryMorally Straight.   I don’t think that phrase has any meaning any more in a world where secular loudmouths are trumping people of faith, where the ever changing mores (swinging from what used to be Politically Correct and “good” then is now Politically Incorrect and ‘bad’ longer now – simply on some group’s say-so)  trump traditionally absolute values.

It used to, when right and wrong were absolutes but it seems nowadays everyone has their “own truth” and “what is right is what is I say it is” – some foundation for running an entire society, eh?  However, those incremental socialists from the Franklin School (progenitors of Cultural Marxism cum Political Correctness) knew, along with Gramarcie, that Americans would never accept Socialism (and then to Communism) if its backer were absolutely open and truthful about their aims, their goals, and what American would lose in the process (sounds like most Democrats nowadays, doesn’t it? ).  What was necessary was to keep nudging the culture to a tipping point that would sneak up all at once – and those that truly believed in God, traditional values, and the Constitution would, overnight, become a minority not because of the politics but because of the culture (which would then be expressed in politics).  So, like minded sojourners infiltrated the inflection point: the churches, the media, the music, the arts, governmental policies towards the traditional family; all those things that could move the culture to where secular socialism would be acceptable.  Media and newsrooms swung Left, in search of changing the world instead of reporting the news.  Music, theater, and the arts moved into the direction that the only way to succeed was to ‘push the boundaries’ – that is, going from going past cultural norms to attacking them.  Religious faith has been attacked both from within (turning from The Gospel of Individual Salvation and saving souls to some nebulous gospel of “social justice”) and without (by groups going “reverse judgementalism” to attack the pillars of faith as failing to rise to meet “current social needs of fairness, Political Correctness, and inclusion) with the attendant loss of faith in the younger generations (helped along, in no small part, by the radical Ivory Tower minions who are shielded by the tax dollars earned by those they actually attack – such work when you can get it).  The goal has been to cut the knees out of traditional American society – so as to replace it with foreign ones. And the Boy Scouts have certainly been a traditional American value for over 100 years; no longer.

So, one brick by one brick, they have removed the foundations of traditional America – and last night, they have torn out yet another one.  The Boy Scouts of Ameria have just changed their stance of “we are a private group and we conduct ourselves according to long standing mores, traditions, and morality” and (with a number of gay activists or gay sympathizers hollowing out its leadership) placed themselves at the mercy of the PC mob.  No longer willing to take the heat, they came up with a decision that has pleased no one.  Their national policy is to now allow gay Scouts into the troops, no questions asked.  No adult gay Scoutmasters – for now.

Edwina Rogers, executive director of the Secular Coalition for America said the Coalition is pleased that the Scouts have decided to allow openly gay youth, but that it’s not enough.

Oh, BSA may exist in some form, but it will be diminished in size, diminished in importance.  Having bowed on bended knee to the PC Barbarians, more tribute will be demanded.  No, not for “inclusiveness” or “parity” or “equality” – but for power.  We’ve already seen this play out here in NH – in demands for a forced acceptance of their mores (or more like it, a forced abandonment of theirs by others) – when it was first civil unions and then outrage for full marriage.  Civil unions were only the ploy, the nose under the tent so that the real goal could start to gain traction.  Hit from one side, the militant sexualists, and and the other, those that avidly seek the total denial of the Public Space to discussion and influence of Religious values, the BSA is just the latest (and amongst the biggest) of the scalps now taken.  For they will not be satisfied until, as with marriage, the ramparts are completely compromised:

Again, even that is not the real goal  – the goal is the lessening, and then complete disappearance of traditional Americanism, the “Fundamental transformation” of America.  BSA is just part of that.  There is no “win” for the BSA in this – I predict many if not most will now leave either voluntarily or by conservative organizations that cannot countenance that which they see is sinful behavior.  Most Packs and Troops are supported by churches and those conservative ones that have stood firm in the Gospel of salvation (versus that of social justice) will no longer sponsor all those kids (typical of Progressives, they hold to the value of “to save the village we must first burn it to the ground” – they are willing to sacrifice the vast majority for the very few).  Even as they stand strong, however, the PC Police will try to cut them off from further from Civil Society (for they themselves are not civil at all and are, indeed, certainly illiberal).  Or these churches will break away and form their own organization – made of sterner stuff, they may be able to ignore the barbarians that will come, in turn, to their gates.

For these Barbarians care not for individuals and what others want – they are the Borg looking to assimilate into the collective.  All will be accepted – but none will be any different than any other regardless of any innate skill, strength, motivation, or beliefs.

BTW – the last and greatest goal is found in the pic at the top of the post.  That badge at the top reads “For God and Country”.  IMHO, part of this, as the Secular Coalition for America wants, and the Progressives work for, is the elimination of God from the American scene; if not completely then certainly by influence.

Remember, our Rights are given to us by God our Creator.  Remove God, and guess what happens to those God-given Rights?   Yeah, we go back to pleading on our knees – just like serfs used to do with their King.  That is the highway we face until somebody starts saying “No further”.

Think I’m kidding?  Just look at what Obama Administration is doing with the Rule of Law – but that is yet another post, but also, another on-ramp to the same highway.
