POPSSEIU Wants To Break Eagle Scout's Legs isn't it just a wonderful thing when government employees get together and want to threaten an Eagle Scout who is just cleaning up the crap that they refuse to do? Or won't do for less than $25 an hour.

POPSRichmond gang rape seen as "nearly inevitable"
More: English teacher Jessica Price, who knows the victim and most of the arrested suspects, said the girl has helped in conflict-mediation groups wanted to join the Police Explorers, a Boy Scouts group that lets boys and girls learn law enforcement with local police… That such a girl could be so brutalized speaks more to a pack mentality, stoked by booze and street machismo, than it does to the general character of Richmond High's youths, Price said. "Those boys who did what they did weren't picturing that girl as a human," she said. "I think you see these kinds of boys at a lot of high schools - so desensitized it was like they saw her as a toy. Boys like that - there aren't many like them, but they can be so hard. All they needed was something to set them off." She told a school district safety panel last week that some girls trying to find out who had watched the rape were being threatened in the hallways - and that, too, she blames on a desensitized mentality.

POPSSmears of "sick and immoral" "pervert" Jennings: the worst of the worst "Jennings' praise of gay rights pioneer Hay had nothing to do with NAMBLA. In a 1997 speech often cited by conservatives attempting to smear Jennings as a supporter of NAMBLA, Jennings reportedly said, "One of the people that's always inspired me is Harry Hay, who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America. In 1948, he tried to get people to join the Mattachine Society." Jennings' remarks include no mentions of NAMBLA. Upon Hay's death in October 2002, numerous obituaries noted that Hay was a pioneer of the American gay rights movement -- just as Jennings noted in his 1997 speech." It sickens me how people try to confuse pedophilia with homosexuality. And some of these folks are right here on Clipmarks. They should be ashamed of themselves, if they had any shame of course.

POPSTeen Saves Toddler From Overturned SUV Sinking in Water But three-year-old Amara Young was not responsive, so Kano started CPR. She quickly started breathing on her own and was eventually transported to Primary Children's Medical Center. Kano says hearing her breathe was one of the best sounds he's ever heard. He says he's no hero and feels blessed to have been in the right place at the right time to help. Kano credits basic life saving skills he learned in Boy Scouts and in a more advanced class he took in high school. FOX 13's Scott McKane has more about the incident.

POPSRED ALERT: Thousands Of Youths Train For Obama's "Civilian National Security Force" thousands of youths as counter-terror and immigration enforcement operators: The group uses compressed-air guns — known as airsoft guns, which fire tiny plastic pellets — in the training exercises, and sometimes they shoot real guns on a closed range. Boy Scouts used to to work on survival skills, science and engineering. So let me see if I understand. President Obama promised to build a "civilian national security force" with capabilities equal to those of our military. Now we discover thousands of armed teenagers training for the very first time to handle all sorts of domestic law enforcement and paramilitary scenarios. Anyone else concerned? Update: Even The New Republic's Marty Peretz is alarmed. http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_spine/archive/2009/05/14/have-the-boy-scouts-of-america-gone-completely-berserk.aspx

POPSScouts Train to Fight Terrorists, and More
“This is about being a true-blooded American guy and girl.” This statement is reminiscent of how the Hitler Youth was bolstered into being “true-blooded Germans”. The inference is that if you are not a part of this “elite” group and are not concerned with killing what the police label as ‘terrorists’ or ‘illegal immigrants’ then you are NOT a ‘true-blooded American’. In light of the fact that DHS recently released two letters designed to put the law enforcement community on alert to 1) returning military vets as potential threats and 2) profiling millions of Americans who oppose abortion, illegal immigration, gun control, homosexuality, and expanded govt powers, as associated with neo-Nazis, skinheads and other violent and racist ‘hate groups’, this is scary stuff people. It appears DHS has an agenda to define ‘true-blooded Americans’ as anyone who is in complete lock-step with their policies. Using Explorer Scouts as a recruitment source is a heinous and despicable act.

POPSScouts Train to Fight Terrorists, and More From the article: "Many law enforcement officials, particularly those who work for the rapidly growing Border Patrol, part of the Homeland Security Department, have helped shape the program’s focus and see it as preparing the Explorers as potential employees. The Explorer posts are attached to various agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and local police and fire departments, that sponsor them much the way churches sponsor Boy Scout troops. “Our end goal is to create more agents,” said April McKee, a senior Border Patrol agent and mentor at the session here."

POPSHomemade pinball machine from scrap wood... Add an arduino to this thing with a few buttons and bump sensors and you could have a fully functional score keeping pinball machine for less than a $100! I love how he made the paddles, again so simple yet genius! I'm also thinking this would be a great project for my cub scout den to do as one of there last projects before moving on to boy scouts.

POPSObama's "Mandatory Service" Youth Legislation Passes Senate Part of the "civilian national security force" agenda passed the Senate and additional legislation is on the way. This was attempted earlier in history through the Boy and Girl Scouts, but not through the government directly, to indoctrinate and teach absolute loyalty to the State, nationalism. The one from Obama would be more loyal to a particular agenda, a socialist agenda. This is government manipulation of youth under color of "patriotism".

POPSThou Shalt Have No Other Gods Before Him The bill includes $20 billion for school “modernization, renovation or repair of facilities” – with $14 billion for elementary and secondary schools and $6 billion for higher education, which includes the secular string attached. What exactly is “a substantial portion”? If an organization lets the scouts meet in their facility, will they no longer be able to use government money to fix their building? It’s simple, really. You grow the public sector, shrink the private sector, and fund only what you deem ideologically sanitary.

POPSMr. President, "Know Your Enemy!" This misguided motions by the President to boy scout our intelligence services and dull our badly needed covert spears shows he and his party pretend to live in that September 10th world. Covert ops is a dirty business. You don’t get info on bad people from the local boy scouts troops. You get it from characters that crawl around with the ones that want to kill us all. (Deal with that Hollywood.) 10 second pause for a PM: Dear Mr. President, I respect you as a man, and you are my President. I just think you are a September 10th kind of guy. Please move your political clock 24 hours ahead. Consider the advance of this clock “America Savings Time.” Most of all sir, please understand your enemy. I’ll close with this: Notice I said “sir” and “please.” I did not make fun of the way he talks, the way he looks, make up stories about his family, or declare him not to be “my” (that selfish thing again) President.

POPS Official: 4 Dead After Twister Tears Through Scout camp Bauwens, the Red Cross nurse, said many of the injuries happened when a brick fireplace in one shelter was ripped apart by the storm. The shelter was one of four where scouts had run for cover. The National Weather Service was referring to the event as a tornado by late Wednesday. It said it received a report of a touchdown at 6:35 p.m. Officials at Burgess Memorial Hospital, about 20 miles from the ranch, said they had treated several patients injured by the storm Wednesday night and that injuries ranged from minor to serious. A spokesman for Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City said two children had arrived at the hospital by helicopter. "These are traumatic injuries," said spokesman Mike Krysl, who said the regional trauma center is "in disaster mode." Heavy downpours hit the region over the weekend, with more thunderstorms predicted for Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
