avclub delivers again
http://www.avclub.com/article/donald-trump-makes-boy-scouts-chant-him-regales-th-258535 Like a lot of aspiring dictators, though, Trump seems to have found one demographic in particular that he can still mold into his ideal supporters: children. Today, Trump spoke at the massive Boy Scouts Jamboree, but instead of telling the thousands of young people in attendance about some crap he doesn’t comprehend, like working hard or respecting people, he got them to chant for him by promising he’d kill the Affordable Care Act (and most likely take away insurance from a good number of them and their families). Unsurprisingly, the video of this is pretty unsettling: Truth really is stranger than fiction https://www.thestar.com/news/world/2017/07/24/the-17-most-jaw-dropping-moments-of-donald-trumps-speech-to-boy-scouts.html This one stood out: He told a meandering five-minute story about developer William Levitt: “He sold his company for a tremendous amount of money and he went out and bought a big yacht and he had a very interesting life. I won’t go any more than that because you’re Boy Scouts, I’m not going to tell you what he did — should I tell you? Should I tell you? Oh, you’re Boy Scouts, but you know life, you know life.” As bizarre as that story is, this anecdote is about a long-dead real estate developer famous for issues with only renting/selling to whites. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Levitt#Segregation what a bizarre thing to talk to children about

Considering the experience I had with Boy Scouts, if I'd been in that crowd it would have actually been the most memorable and enjoyable thing I ever did in Scouts.

I grew up in the suburbs and loathe nature. Scouts was never going to be a good fit.
It didn't help that our local Troop was run by idiots who either didn't really know or care what they were doing, because it made the whole experience kind of lame in general. For pretty much everyone, it felt more like a chore your parents forced you into rather than anything you actually wanted to be part of yourself. About my only fond memories of Scouts at all was in Cub Scouts, the one time we did a team race where we had to build a cart and then drag it through wooded trails in a race that was sort of like a stripped down version of the race in "Midnight Madness" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midnight_Madness_(film)#Plot ). Basically, you had to go from station-to-station quickly, answer trivia questions, and solve minor kid-friendly riddles. But now that I actually try to look it up on the Internet (to provide one of my patented illustrative links) it seems like no information exists about it anywhere under any name, so maybe it was only a local thing that our local Packs did together, and not an overarching thing that all Scouts did. Which, honestly, just makes me think even less of Scouts than I already had.

Oh, and I had a Pinewood Derby racer made up to look like Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters (still do, somewhere in my house, buried in some box or another). Which I suppose was sort of fun and creative, even if it was terribly non-aerodynamic and had no chance to win anything (which I knew in advance).
But the Pinewood Derby always seemed to me to be a case where the Scouts' dads all got to design the racers for them, because none of us were making our own, and none of us really seemed all that invested in the process. I mean, I basically had to create a car I KNEW was going to lose solely to amuse myself by the end of the thing.

That article isn't biased at all It's the AVclub, they are entertaining. Plenty of other links though! By all means listen to his speech for yourself and hear what former scouts are saying about it. Or listen to the booing of a former President (and former scout) and the longwinded partisan dialogue for what was supposed to be a non-partisan event encouraging scouts to keep on scouting A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent.

Zareth posted...Doctor Foxx posted...a non-partisan event For children especially it should be kept non-partisan. The Boy Scouts of America don't allow partisan speeches to their scouts. Previous presidents have discussed their days as scouts or their admiration for scouts. Not the opposing candidate in the last election, not their disgraced racist old business buddies, not about bills or laws, nor about fake news... Or all of that nonsense. Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s campaign-style speech at the National Scout Jamboree in West Virginia on Monday evening, the Boy Scouts of America released a statement that did not comment on the president’s remarks but stated that the non-profit organization is “wholly non-partisan and does not promote any one position, product, service, political candidate or philosophy.”

Franklin Delano Roosevelt used the occasion to talk about good citizenship. Harry S. Truman extolled fellowship: “When you work and live together, and exchange ideas around the campfire, you get to know what the other fellow is like,” he said. A good history of past presidential speeches to the scouts.

A Scout is Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Courteous, Kind, Obedient, Cheerful, Thrifty, Brave, Clean, and Reverent. Our President exemplifies the literal and absolute opposite of all of those words. Trump is dishonest, perfidious, useless, mean, cruel, bullying, defiant, angry, wasteful, cowardly, filthy, and has no regard for rules or anything appropriate. |

No, it sounded like a narcissistic fluff speech with little to do with the scouts or anything grounded in reality. The AVClub sauced it up nicely. It would have been shitty to sit through that, and I completely understand parents being angry that their children went to hear political partisan talk for a scouting trip. Obama's address was a minute and a half. Trump talked for over 38 minutes, largely about himself.

In general, the Trump-bashers don't seem to ever realize how awesome they make a lot these things sound. That's usually because they have the comprehension skills needed to recognize just how little is actually being said under the fluff, and how little value that meager substance has and/or how objectionable it is. If you just let yourself be caught up in the showmanship and don't think at all about what's being said? Sure it's going to sound awesome, and agreeing with all of the awesome fluff is going to distract from disagreeing with most of the meaningful bits. All of these quotes are pulled out of context, but that's because the context is meaningless patter that would only distract from the quotes, not because it would better validate them.

And this is only one small part of Trump's speech where he's referring to William Levitt, close friend and noted racist real estate tycoon that has been dead for over 20 years:
In life, in order to be successful -- and you people are well on the road to success -- you have to find out what makes you excited, what makes you want to get up each morning and go to work? You have to find it. If you love what you do and dedicate yourself to your work, then you will gain momentum? And look, you have to. You need the word "momentum." You will gain that momentum. And each success will create another success. The word "momentum." part 2 to follow

And I see sitting in the corner was a little old man who was all by himself. Nobody was talking to him. I immediately recognized that that man was the once great William Levitt, of Levittown, and I immediately went over. I wanted to talk to him more than the Hollywood, show business, communications people. some quality message right there
