The Boy Scouts continue to embarrass

I've always sympathized with the Boy Scouts.  For years, they were one of the main targets of the Left.  Full broadsides, boycotts, pulling sponsorship, public denouncements, all aimed at attacking them and beating them into submission to liberal dogma.

Initially it all hinged on the hammer of the Left: gay rights.  But now it's just a free fall.  So the latest is that the Scouts are now going to allow girls.  Exactly why if they remain the Boy Scouts is beyond me.  In an age where there are no longer boys or girls I can sort of understand.  After all, why have scouts named after a term that no longer has meaning?

Of course I wonder if the Girl Scouts will repay in kind.  The Girl Scouts have long been about fashioning their girls in the image of the modern liberal pro-choice feminist. 

Then again, for the few years our second oldest was in the Scouts, I already noticed a certain 'who are we to judge or proclaim absolutes where morality or God is concerned.'  We weren't exactly bothered by leaving.

So there you go.  The Left is a jealous god.  It will tolerate no dissent.  And once resistance gives in, the complete collapse of standards and principles can be expected.
