Neocons are all about blaming others for their own actions.

Well, if the Boy Scouts were so irresponsible as to let a couple of 15 year old councilors help kids play with fire in the middle of a forest suffering from extreme drought, I'd say that the Boy Scouts need to pay up for the firefighting costs. This has nothing to do with Democrats or Republicans - it has to do with accountability. Plain and simple - you cause the problem, you need to pay to fix the problem. The Boy Scouts are just lucky no one got killed because of their mistake!

hmm...let me see:
"At the time of the blaze, a fire ban was in effect because of dry conditions. In court documents, the Scouts maintain they were not aware of a formal fire ban and thought small pit fires were allowed.
In depositions, Scouts testified they were playing with fire, even offering a teenage counselor candy in return for setting one, Overby said."
Playing with fire when there is a fire ban in place for dry conditions? It wouldn't matter if they were Scouts or Hunters or Crusaders from the Holy Land, they prosecute for wildfires if they can find the person/s responsible for starting the blaze. It is extremely costly and this constitutes gross negligence on behalf of those who practize integrity and obedience.

Uuuuuh the scouts admitted they did it.
"In depositions, Scouts testified they were playing with fire, even offering a teenage counselor candy in return for setting one, Overby said"
Are you so blindingly hatefull of conservatives that you accuse them of something that others have admitted to doing? You need help dude. I think you're suffering from displacement paranoia.

It was the ACLU and the Democrats that tried to destroy the Boy Scouts.
They wanted the Boy Scouts disbanded because you had to believe in a God to join, and because the Boy Scouts would not allow Gay Scout Leaders.
