This letter shows what the Boy Scouts are about.

And the smearing of the scouts is one reason why I don't believe in gay rights. There aren't any gay, women's or other minority rights. There are only human rights, and our views on morality are our birthrights. I think that libertarians like Instapundit and Captain Clueless are confusing freedom with independence. If their ideology is followed we'll have neither. I hate to say that, because I read and respect them both.

This is not about protecting minority rights. It's about what kind of society we want to live and raise our kids in. The kind of liberty they promote with their "pro-sodomy" rhetoric and comparisons to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is, I fear, all too prophetic.

It's the kind of hubris that preceded the destruction of the Tower in Babel and the brimstoning of, guess where, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the kind of confusion that makes us demand that the government protect us from terrorism while we fuss like this over personal inconvenience. You don't get to have the blessings bestowed by our ancestors and abuse their principles at the same time.
