I often wonder if the real purpose of Fox News is to create controversy where there is none just so they can agitate their viewers and score good ratings.
A perfect example of this would be a discussion that the airheads on Fox’s “Outnumbered” had the other afternoon when they launched into a debate on the Boy Scouts of America banning toy guns–including water guns–for its members at Scouting events. To hear the empty-minded gang at “Outnumbered,” you’d think it had been announced that all Boy Scouts now have to wear lacy pink dresses and apply makeup.?Rachel Campos-Duffy remarked:
?So, if we keep emasculating our boys and not letting boys be boys? how are we going to raise the next generation of hardcore CIA operatives, Navy SEALs??
Gimme a break! Does playing with guns or not playing with guns determine who is fit for military service when they reach the age of enlistment? And do we want to encourage our children to join the CIA or go put their lives on the line as Navy SEALs? Personally, I say thanks, but no thanks.
Co-host Andrea Tantaros, always eager to make the nearest molehill into Mount Everest, chimed in and said:
?It’s like the feminization of boys! Someone save the Super Soakers!?
Oh good grief! The feminization of boys? Where in the hell did that come from? I guess if boys don’t pretend to kill each other they automatically become feminized? How ridiculous is that notion?
The man on the panel,?former CIA analyst Mike Baker joined the group lament with this nonsense:
?God forbid we offend anybody, God forbid we don’t get trophies. Oh my God, everybody’s got to get a participation medal. It’s nonsense. You know what we’re doing? Every generation, of course we want things to be easier for our kids ? the wussification!?
What is wrong with every child who participates getting recognition for being part of a team? Is any one person a team? Can LeBron James or Clayton Kershaw win a single game if they don’t have a team playing with them? No, they cannot, and they’d be the first to tell you that.
But what about the members of the Boy Scouts themselves? How do they feel about the ban on guns? On the blog site Scouting Magazine, Brian Wendell asked that question and the response he got was this:
?A Scout is kind. What part of pointing a firearm [simulated or otherwise] at someone is kind??
The gung-ho militants on “Outnumbered” might want to consider that point before they spew any further bile over an issue that will never be an issue anywhere except in their own fevered brains.
