THE EMERGENCY SOCIETY
...'casue its the best excuse to get something unconscionable done!
The face of national security threats according to Union Pacific Railroad!

In this day and age, it seems that the latest war has given excuse for everything to be operated in "emergency mode." The public safety and security is given as the reason why people do things that civil people otherwise wouldn't consider.

Even private businesses are getting on the bandwagon. Everything is for "security," or at least that is the excuse given.

Union Pacific railroad, one of the "big five" railroads in the United States, evicted a Boy Scout organization from its holdings this week. According to the story in the Oakland, California Daily Review, Trains Magazine reported:

For the past 85 years, Boy Scouts of American troop 503 has spent countless hours helping the Bay Area community of San Leandro, said an article in the Daily Review newspaper of Oakland, Calif.But a few months ago, the troop was evicted from railroad property on Carden Street, where an old 27-foot trailer containing the boys' camping equipment, records and flags has been kept for the past 20 years. According to Mark Miller, the troop's committee chairman, there had never been a problem when the site was owned by Southern Pacific. The property presently belongs to the Union Pacific.Citing national security issues, Union Pacific officials told the Boy Scouts it had four days to vacate the premises and an extension would not be granted, Miller said.John Taufer, a local businessman with Sebring Transportation Co., temporarily offered some storage space for the trailer at the company's trucking yard off Doolittle Drive on the condition that the troop finds a new home as soon as possible. Miller said the Boy Scouts are looking for either a place to store the trailer or a place to store the gear if people don't want the trailer on their property. (Trains Magazine, JAN 2006).

Really? "National Security Issues?" What possible national security threat do the Boy Scouts of America present? Plenty, if you are a typical left wing bolshevik working for the socialized, unionized, and outright sodomized big railroads that cowtow to their "image of diversity." The left wing whack-jobs see the BSA as a threat to unchecked homosexuality, and a stand against carte blanche access to 12 year old booty. Oh, by the way, they state a belief in God...so that makes them "intolerant" of atheists, too.

In the past two years, major American railroads have been engaged in the most agressive pogroms to show their commitment to diversity. Even on CSX railroad employee evaluation, the first rating criteria is "commitment to diversity." On the UP website (www.up.com), there are two links available on diversity alone that lead to in-depth, multiple web pages. The diversity covered is both employee and supplier diversity.

The thing is, "diversity," as most people see it and the talking heads state that it is, is treating others as you would like to be treated. In actuality, diversity defined through actions are special "set asides" granted to the homosexual lobby. This is plainly obvious to anyone employed in the public sector, or heavily unionized industries that march lock-step with the Democrat verbal flatuations of the day.

The ongoing assault against the Boy Scouts by the militant homosexual movement has extended to all factors of life, from being excluded from military installations and public funding, to being denied use of local public property.

One would have to be brain dead, or believe in UP's diversity program, not to have seen the news items throughout the country over the past several years over the Boy Scouts demanded exclusion from civilized life simply because they teach faith in God, and oppose homosexuality.

Don't believe me? Here's a few, I say FEW, of the news snippets:

2004-JAN-26: CA: Scouts may lose campsite: The local boy scouts in San Diego have held a long-term lease for a campsite and park area located in the city's Balboa Park. The lease was extended in 2001 for 25 years. However, the American Civil Liberties Union sued the city because it gave preferential access to the boy scouts in spite of that groups discrimination against homosexuals and athiests. A settlement was reached. The city will pay almost $1 million in legal fees and court costs. The city will evict the scouts. Matt Coles, director of the ACLU's National Lesbian and Gay Rights Project said that the BSA has: "...aligned themselves with a set of values not shared with most Americans any more. The longer and harder they hold to them the more irrelevant they become. (Christian Science Monitor, 26 JAN 2004)

2004-FEB-25: NY: United Way to terminate funding of BSA council: The United Way of Ulster County will end a four-decade partnership with the Rip Van Winkle Council of the BSA at the end of 2004. For six months, the two groups had tried to negotiate a non-discrimination agreement. They failed. The Council serves Ulster and Greene Counties has its head office in Kingston, NY. ("Boy Scouts lose funding for barring gays," DailyFreeman.com, 2004-FEB-25).

2004-FEB: VA: State approves Boy Scouts' license plate: The Virginia house passed bill HB923 by a vote of 94 to 3 on 2004-FEB-03. It later passed the Senate 15 to 0Scouting for All lodged a complaint with the governor, Mark Warner. It said, in part: "Scouting for All and those Americans who believe in social justice ask that you rescind this decision. We ask this of you because the state of Virginia should not be using tax payer money to honor an organization that discriminates against any segment of our society. The Boy Scouts of America currently discriminates against many of those Virginians who voted for you, those of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and nontheist communities. The Boy Scouts of America discriminates against gay and nontheist youth and adults." (Any Organization In America That Discriminates Against Any Segment of Our Society Should Not Receive City, State, or Federal Support In Any Manner," Scouting for All, 2004-JUL-10, at: http://www.scoutingforall.org/aaic/2004071102.shtml )

2004-JUL-07: PA: United Way cuts funding for BSA: The United Way of Southeastern Pennsylvania had held about $200,000 in escrow for the Cradle of Liberty Council of the BSA, pending a conflict resolution. The United Way will not distribute funds to any group that discriminates on the basis of age, race, religion, or sexual orientation. The local BSA organization is bound by their headquarter's policy of discriminating on the basis of religion and sexual orientation. The United Way decided to release the funds and distribute them to two other youth groups in the greater Philadelphia area. ("United Way to redistribute funds," NewsGleaner, 2004-JUL-7)

2004-JUL-8: WA: City rejects aid to Boy Scouts: The city council of Port Townsend, WA, decided to not contribute to the purchas of Boy Scout House on Morgan Hill. The scouts are trying to raise $1,175,000 to purchase the property. ("Port Townsend: City Council won't help with buying Scout House,"2004-JUL-08, Peninsula Daily News)

2004-NOV-16: USA: Pentagon to warn military bases to withhold sponsorship of BSA: The Pentagon has agreed to warn its bases that they cannot directly sponsor Boy Scout troops because of the BSA's discrimination against non-theists. According to the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, the U.S. military has sponsored hundreds of BSA troops. ACLU lawyer Adam Schwartz said: "If our Constitution's promise of religious liberty is to be a reality, the government should not be administering religious oaths or discriminating based on religious beliefs." However, individual military personnel will still be able to lead Scout troops on their own time. Troops will be able to have meetings on army bases if civilian organizations are allowed to hold events. Rev. Barry Lynn, director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State, described the Pentagon's warnings to its bases as "very wise advice....It's important that the federal government — including the military — not sponsor any organization that discriminates on the basis of religion. In the long run, this change will be a good protection for religious freedom and diversity." The Pentagon's action was motivated by a lawsuit that the ACLU initiated against the city of Chicago, the Department of Defense and the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The city of Chicago had already settled by agreeing to not sponsor BSA activities. (Pentagon to warn bases on Scouts," Associated Press, 2004-NOV-16)

Of course, we know that "tolerance" and "diversity" means simply the excuse of perversion. This is pure, simple Orwellian "doublespeak." We say it is night, but its really day. Poverty is wealth, cold is hot.

By definition, these purveyors of tolerance don't even follow their own convictions.

As for UP, CSX, NS, and the rest of you socialized monopolies, keep it up...the American people have had enough of this. Payback can be a sonofagun.

As for Up, you want to see national security threats? Catch a C-17 to CENTCOM, and I'll give you all the national security threats you can handle.

Remember the old Dead Kennedy's song, "California Uber Allies," with the left wing, spirald eyed nut jobs running the country true to their Socialist (NAZI) roots? I think that time is here.
