You thought the Boy Scouts were just

an apolitical, clean-living, family-oriented, public-spirited non-profit organization? Think again.

Vey iz mir.

Unfortunately, the moral and ethical fibre of this country is being ripped apart by the very people who make up this country. I would rather confront these issues, however unpleasant, than take an osterich like attitude and gloss over them.

One has to look no further than the Priests Scandal.

It is everywhere.

At this rate, this country will keep sinking to lower depths because of the way even children are taught at schools.

Hopefully, there will be a reversal of the trend, but it will take a lot of effort and will be an uphill task.

I believe this falls under the logical fallacy known as generalization.

Some Boy Scouts went to a rally where some radical conservatives spoke.
The radical conservatives made outrageous statements that attacked the patriotism of some leftists.
People that attack the patriotism of leftists are tearing our country apart.
Therefore, the Boy Scouts are tearing our country apart.

Sorry, it doesn't stand up.

Right. But you have no moral issues making generalisations about non-American issues I guess. Like this one.

Here in America, we have an adjective that describes my statement. It's known as facetious.

What about in your country over there on the other side of the ocean? Do they have a word for this?

I've said it more than once, but it is worth repeating:
The secular left is in an out of control tailspin toward intellectual and moral bankruptcy.
