Suspending Bob and Ed for a month is a load of crap. Suspending these guys for arguing, yet letting merlyn and backpacker spew their hateful vomit at will makes me sick. There is nothing worse than politically correct server nazis. So, you are suspended from my computer.

BSA granted the extension.

At the bottom of the article there is a link to 70 responses to this article. The author, a student working on his doctorate, writes well. I'll agree, McCarthy was a scuzzy, loathsome, self-serving politician. He almost seems as a model for many Reps and Senators serving themselves in Congress today. Here is Pack with his beret. http://www.cheguevara.com/ Here is another link to the responses. I haven't read through all of them, but it seems to me, after all the emotional gas is emitted, that he was effective in rooting out commies in government and hollywood. Responses to the article.

The first link included a link to a "free Leonard Peltier site" so, can't take his history seriously. I agree, that a handful of Peoria's escaped the Pottawatomi's genocidal wrath. I say we keep Chief Illiniwek and give back Peoria.

I think Chief Illiniwek is historically and culturally accurate. It's not like we can ask an Illini. How can the Illini be offended? They were wiped off the planet by the Pottawatomi in the 1760's. Sounds like a little genocide there.

From History News Network. Mr. Rifkin's delusions (#16479) by Bill Heuisler on August 13, 2003 at 3:50 PM Mr. Rifkin, How do such delusions exist in this Age of Information? Fever-dreams and anti-McCarthy wishes don't count on a History Site. Research is simple in libraries or search engines. The Venona program has been existence for over fifty years. Decoding began in 1946 - is still being released - and over 300 Americans have been identified as Soviet agents for Stalin's Worker's Paradise. Over 2200 messages between Moscow and trade reps, diplomats, KGB and GRU Residencies hav

Your first definition is a little on the biased side, eh, Pack? The censure? Sounds as if someone was miffed at him. He may have been a disgusting, self-serving, pig of a politician, but it seems with these files and transcripts opened up, history should evolve. Whatever his sources were he seems to have been right on target with one or two misses. These weren't people trying to change something like "Under God" from the Pledge, they were personnel in government or in the entertainment industry actively supply intelligence to and creating propaganda for the USSR. Sending money to the Sie

"The McCarthy Era has been written into college and high school curriculums and even government history standards as a time of witch-hunts instead of a time of fifth column treason for the same reason. The opening of the Soviet archives and the release of the Venona decrypts have established beyond any reasonable doubt that McCarthys so-called victims with few exceptions (James Wechsler would be one) -- were people who either served the intelligence agencies of the biggest mass murderer(Stalin)in history or supported the despotic empire he built, or were fellow-travelers of the same." T

My BS meter is going off. It senses a lying coniving......activist at work. LMBO!!!

Why would you have a problem with the McCarthy hearings? Our fathers, uncles, and grandfathers were squared off against the Russians in the Fulda Gap. We fought Red China in Korea. We fought communists in Vietnam. Cuba. Nicaragua. McCarthy rooted out card carrying members of both communist organizations and the communist party from government and television. If you belonged to organizations that were hell-bent on the destruction of our country and our way of life, you should be nervous.

To me personally, I don't think this is a fight worth fighting or generating one press release of bad publicity. I'd be done with anything to do with Indian lore. Voyaguers, explorers, mountain men, and pioneers all camped. Maybe create a new organization with a Patriot theme, the Liberty Tree, Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere, etc. Begin new with a different theme.

Well, we were up on Lake Michigan this past weekend out for our last sail of the year. Sunny, 90 degrees, winds SE 15, gusting to low 20's, waves 2-4, visibility 1.5 miles. We came out of the harbor and went south east to put the sails up. We learned a lesson that other boats didn't necessarily assemble the same as ours. Well we blew past that obstacle and came about and header north with the wind. A much better cruise. I think the weather was awesome, except the waves just beat the snot out of us. Whenever the waves are over 3 feet, we're going to stay in the harbor and race 420'

Eamonn, I agree. What a top notch manual. TP

What a great Start. Two good goals for those acorns would be the SEAL Course. They need to earn Ordinary by June 1st of next year in order to qualify, but it has to be the premier youth training course BSA has. We have two Trustee Mates. Fine Mates. Finer men have never slept upon a spinnaker. Although, I took both of mine out for a test ride in our new beautiful boat and almost visited Davy Jones' Locker. Remember men, hoses that will sink you need TWO clamps. A beautiful summer day.....wasted. Winds were fabulous. Nice 10-12 knot breeze. The Mac was handling beautifully a

Phillip, Here you are, kinda typical, spoiled rotten, lazy, punk, spewing out all this anti-establishment crap. "Screw the Challenge" That's classic. You can send your paper, badge, and medal to me. I'll take them. Or were you just lying again. You obviously lied when you accepted the charge or challenge, you were obviously lying when you appeared at BOR's. You are definately undeserving and ought to write to officially take your name of the rolls. Quit talking about it, quit your trolling and flaming, and act on it. "Put up or shut up". Your Scoutmaster must have be

150 7-10 year olds all in one location. I have this picture of trying to herd cats in my mind. A daunting task!!! But, Day Camp was a blast. I needed a week off to recover from the week I took off.

Dana, Why Not. A lot of the invites and flyers to the regattas mention Sea Scouts, Older Boy Scouts, Mariners, Senior Girl Scouts, and Venture Scouts. Speak to the Commodore or Chair of that specific flotilla, why on earth we he object to increased participation?

Ahhhhh, Mr. White. Possibly the bravest man I have ever met, besides me other matey. After your last adventure on the high seas, when Davey Jones' locker was in view, do you really want to upset me?

Hi Neil, I'll keep you posted. TP

I don't know if appeal was the right term. His 18th birthday was last December so something out of the norm needs to occur. Anyway, it's past the Dist Chair and on the way to the Council. The benefit of the doubt went to the Scout.

Thanks for the info about the devices. My sons and their Wolf Den completed the God and Me program this summer. 5 of the 6 who started finished. We had the parents present the medal, knot, and certificate to the boys in front of a Sunday service. The pastor, who's dad was a long time Scoutmaster, helped the boys earn their Bobcat, so we let him award the Bobcat patch that same time. I thanked him, and thanked the members for letting us borrow him all summer, pinned on the Counselors lapel pin, and almost got him to become an Assistant Den Leader for this year. The cost of the medals, kn

If any unit located in The People's Republic of Illinois is in danger of losing their Chartered Organization or is seeking out a CO for a new unit, I will be more than happy to make that first phone call and find an American Legion Post or VFW to Charter the unit.

It was arterial bleeding. The troop he belongs to is chartered by The American Legion, I talked to the State Commander this morning who plans to invite him and the SM to the State Convention next year and recognize him for his actions.

Sure you can use it. I'll keep my ears peeled to hear any results as far as awards and recognitions for this Scout in Action.
