Chuck Norris blasts Obama over 'pro-gay Boy Scouts' stance

By Rene Lynch

June 27, 2012, 10:55 a.m.

Real-life action figure Chuck Norris is blasting President Obama for allegedly working behind the scenes to create a "pro-gay Boy Scouts of America."

snips:

Norris suggests that Americans take a closer look at the recent headlines made when James Turley, a Boy Scouts of America national board member, announced that he will work from within the scouting organization to change its long-standing position barring gay Scouts and gay Scout leaders. Turley is also chairman and chief executive of Ernst & Young.

"Is it a coincidence that Obama will stand up repeatedly for the children of illegal immigrants (and grant them amnesty and taxpayer money) but that he will not once stand up for children in the BSA and the organization's rights and freedoms to hold their own core values and beliefs?"
"Is it a coincidence that as the honorary BSA president and a 'constitutional lawyer,' Obama hasn’t had one minute in his schedule over the past years to defend or say anything about the series of lawsuits that have been levied against the BSA because of its First Amendment rights to stand against atheists, agnostics and homosexuals
?"

The grand master of our karate school taught Chuck for a while and said he has bad form.

his ass in Return of the Dragon, IIRC. And in a real life shoot fight Lee could have killed Chucky stone-cold dead in about thirty seconds without breaking a sweat.
