“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Saving scouts

In the Washington Times article about how destructive the ACLU is to the boy scouts is tucked this nugget:
About 400 of the Boy Scouts' 121,000 units had some affiliation with the military, so the organization is cooperating with the Defense Department to ensure all units come into compliance, Boy Scouts of America spokesman Bob Bork said.

He said that as a practical matter, the changes merely involve paperwork to ensure any military personnel involved with Boy Scout troops do so outside their official capacity.

So the destruction of the Boy Scouts will be caused by forcing military personnel to "clock out" before they deal with the troops, and this will affect less than 4% of the Boy Scout troops nationwide?

Thank goodness the GOP Congress will waste time working on correcting this issue.
