Character counts
|
The dems booed the boy scouts of america while they brought out a flag
and recited the pledge of allegiance at their 1996 convention. I have no respect whatsoever for the people [resent who dit not try to stop it, who allowed it to continue, and did not afterwards censure the people who propagated it. As you seem to believe, character does count. So, Michael, please name one liberal (or "democrat") organization that promotes character in boys and yound men? I wish you the very best of luck on that one, and I do hope that you succeed. bb |

What is the logic behind your answer? As you seem to believe, character does count. So, Michael, please name one liberal (or "democrat") organization that promotes character in boys and yound men? I know lots of Democrats that support the Boy Scouts, and lots of independents. You take what SOME people who align themselves with the Democrats do and apply that to the whole. That is a losing game, as there are segments of Republicans that are similarly fringy. I wish you the very best of luck on that one, and I do hope that you succeed. So it is okay to be corrupt as long as you are a Republican. Good to see where exactly you are coming from. - Mike KB3EIA - |

Must my answer confrom to liberal logic? As you seem to believe, character does count. So, Michael, please name one liberal (or "democrat") organization that promotes character in boys and yound men? I know lots of Democrats that support the Boy Scouts, and lots of independents. Wunnerful. I know lots of people, too! That is NOT THE ISSUE! Why was the BSA booed at the """DNC Convention""" while they brought out the American Flad and recited the Pledge of Allegiance? Why??? """You take what SOME people who align themselves with the Democrats do and apply that to the whole.""" ABSO-FRIGGIN-LUTELY!!! Every Democrat has to accept responsibility for that act. Were they Mujahadeen??? And I take what happened at the DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL ____CONVENTION 0___ to represent the Democratic PARTY!!! If you don't like it, find a new party. """That is a losing game, as there are segments of Republicans that are similarly fringy.""" Oh, my. People that believe in God. Wonder if Jews beieve in God? Wonder if Palistinians believe in God? Wonder if Methodists believe in God? Wonder if Rev Jim believes in God? It's just so awful that there are still luddites that believe in God. NYT says "God is Dead!" But we must have a Palestinian State because Allah wants it. I wish you the very best of luck on that one, and I do hope that you succeed. """So it is okay to be corrupt as long as you are a Republican. Good to see where exactly you are coming from.""" WTF did that come from? Must be somekindof Al Franken spagmasm??? Wonder where Geneen Giraffala weighed in on that one??? Anyhow, you failed to name a single liberal youth organization that promotes character. And I know why that is. It's so friggin easy to know why that is. C'mon liberal Mike. Ask me why it's so easy to know that. C'mon, ask why!!! - Mike KB3EIA - Mike, I noticed that you failed to list any liberal organization that was pro character building. "Reply" Oh, my! 2004 becoming 2005. My 10YO Cub Scouts/America son just got an Eddie Bauer 0 deg sleeping bag. And he earned his just "readyman" badge and knows the basics of first aid.

I was in the Boy scouts, My son was in the Cub souts and Boy Scouts.

Declaring ones faith and attending church somehow makes a person bad. I think I see something here, Brian. I write something, and you see something else. If I meant Christians, I would have said Christians. Not all Christians are Republicans. My family is for the most part, devout Christians and they are not Republicans. In your effort to make this so Black and white, you put words in my mouth. Don't, if you want to discuss things in a rational manner. Republican fringe groups: Neocons - Neocons are liberals that have had waaaay too much coffee and have a nasty attitude for it. They are liberalizing the Republican party at exactly the right time for their purposes. At this time, a lot of the republican faithful are so polarized against Democrats that if the party platform were to become a clone of FDR's New deal, they would rally behind it. The far right nasty groups. These take many forms, such as the new south people that want history "revised", to the people that want to rewrite science under the guise of their religion. Don't tell me this is dissing Christians. This is ideology. This is the same thing as when the Commies in Russia decided that genetics was not compatible with their stupid workers revolution. They believed that will power could allow animals to change themselves in amazingly short period of time. Fact is it was suppression of fact, and they eventually paid for it. Now are their fringe groups on the Democrat side? You betcha. They have the "alternative sexual reality groups, they have the academic left, they have them to match the pubs, just on the other side of the spectrum. What I am telling you is that your party is being hijacked by liberals. And enough Pubs are going to go along with that. It's just so awful that there are still luddites that believe in God.

Or I used to and I have some insghts on the topic you don't have Burke. Which might explain a few things which go on 'way over your head as usual. My senior brother of two of 'em was the CEO of the local BSA Council about five years ago and engineered the merger of our suburban Council, the one we both grew up in, with the next-over failing big city council. That noteworthy maneuver raised hackles galore out here in our lilly white Rebublican WASP 'burbs of course but it saved what was left of the broken city council, a seemingly impossible management coup given the politics involved. Which in turn got the attention of the mahouts who rule scouting at the national level. He was forwith invited to join the national board of directors. I asked him why he declined the invitation. I can't quote his words directly but they went something like: "I have no interest in trying to work with a bunch of Dallas 'silent majority' type Bible-pounders hellbent on imposing their "visions" on scouting."

I wonder why they want to change that standard? The immediate purpose is to get Tom DeLay out of his ethics situation. What has that to do with Amateur Radio Policy in the USA? Goes to the mindset of the administration in power. Did DeLay's name come up on Riley Hollingsworth's latest List? Perhaps you'd like something more directly connected to FCC rules and regulations for the amateur radio service: Lenof21 previously wrote: All licensees are perfectly legal to continue operating in their grace period. That's simply not true. To quote FCC rules: "97.21(b) A person whose amateur station license grant has expired may apply to the FCC for renewal of the license grant for another term during a 2 year filing grace period. The application must be received at the address specified above prior to the end of the grace period. Unless and until the license grant is renewed, no privileges in this Part are conferred." Last sentence says it all: "Unless and until the license grant is renewed, no privileges in this Part are conferred." FCC amateur licenses have 10 year terms, and if a license is allowed to expire without a renewal application being filed, the licensee *cannot* legally operate until the license is renewed. Do you agree or disagree, Len? You also wrote: There is no necessity (nor sense) to eliminate those in the grace period from those in the normal 10-year license period from any class totals. Sure there is - their licenses are expired and they cannot operate. If you want to include expired-but-in-the-grace-period licensees in the totals, go right ahead. But be sure to indicate that you are doing so, unless *you* want to "massage" the numbers. |
