      Limbaugh mentions "Boy Scouts" and "stiff" in the same sentence. He's taunting us, I just know it.

        "Obama stiffed Boy...": It's no more an accidental choice of words than Limbaugh's "Obama denigrates" was yesterday.

      ElRushbo has Obama beat on the "Narcotic acquisition" and "most creative ways to get discharged from the military" badges along with the "creative race baiting" badges.

      Ha Ha! "community organizing"! Funny, coming from someone who can only "organize" his maid to make a visit to a parking lot to score.

      Was Blimpy ever a Boy Scout? I kind of doubt it... here is the Scout Law:

      A Scout is: Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.


      Blimpy fails all twelve. Well, maybe his undying devotion to the Republican Party counts as loyalty... I'll give him that.

      Here's some Scout merit badges that encourage liberalism, pointy headed academia, chickification, environmentalist wackos, etc. etc. etc....
      American Cultureswhich requires Scouts to learn about country's diverse ethnic/racial/religious heritage

      American Labor learning about the history of working people in the US, including the contributions of labor unions

      And then there's:
      Citizenship in the Community
      Citizenship in the Nation
      Citizenship in the World
      Journalism
      Indian Lore(or "Injuns" in RushSpeak)
      Scholarship
      Theater
      Sculpture
      Environmental Science

      As mentioned in the thread already...

      Citizenship in the Community:
      [http://www.bsa-dpvc.org/boy_scouting/mba/CITC.l.jpg]

      Among the Requirements to earn this badge:
      Do the following:
      1. Choose a charitable organization outside of Scouting that interests you and brings people in your community together to work for the good of your community.
      2. Using a variety of resources (including newspapers, fliers and other literature, the Internet, volunteers, and employees of the organization), find out more about this organization.
      3. With your counselor's and your parent's approval, contact the organization and find out what young people can do to help. While working on this merit badge, volunteer at least eight hours of your time for the organization. After your volunteer experience is over, discuss what you have learned with your counselor.
