<blockquote>&#8220;The Boy Scouts had to suffer the consequences for sticking by their moral values,&#8221; said Eugene Grant, president of the Portland, Ore., Cascade Pacific Council&#8217;s board of directors. &#8220;There&#8217;s no question&#8221; that the Scouts&#8217; anti-gay, anti-atheist stance has cost the organization money, he said. As a result, he said, &#8220;every council has looked at ways to generate funds &#8230; and logging is one of them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- sphereit start --><p><a href="http://townhall.com/columnists/RachelAlexander/2009/01/21/robinson_is_also_not_wright_for_america">Rachel Alexander : Robinson is Also Not Wright for America &#8211; Townhall.com</a><br />
<blockquote>His (Gene Robinson) invocation was a broad endorsement of progressive Democrat priorities, going so far as saying, “Bless this nation with anger – anger at discrimination, at home and abroad, against refugees and immigrants, women, people of color, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people….Help him [Obama] remember his own oppression as a minority, drawing on that experience of discrimination, that he might seek to change the lives of those who are still its victims.” </p></blockquote>
<p>I can only assume that, if these are progressive Democrat stances, that conservative Republican stances are the opposite.  Right?<br />That would mean, just to be clear, that Republicans are pro-discrimination against blacks and women, for example.&nbsp; And here I was thinking that they were trying to put all that behind them.<br />Shucks.</p>
