On My Honor: Why the American Values of the Boy Scouts Are Worth Fighting for by Rick Perry, Ross Perot (Foreword by)

Thank God for the BSA
Nancy, involved in Scouting, direct sales, 04/30/2008

I am in the process of buying approximately 10 of these books to give as gifts for the recently Eagled Scouts in our troop. We have 4 sons who have earned the Eagle rank after many years of hard work, learning character building skills, having fun on many of the great trips they have taken, and learning about life. Our 5th son is close to earning his Eagle as well. We are proud of our Eagle Scouts everywhere, and hope that more people will embrace Scouting and its values. There is nothing wrong with teaching our young men about character and morals in today's society. Why can't negative people just mind their own business, and let Scouting lead the way to a better society for the future of the good ole USA.

Perry gets it right
Murray Fudgeman, a lot crankier than I used to be., 04/03/2008

I wasn't born in Texas, but I got here as quickly as I could. Leaders like Governor Perry are what make Texas different from other places I've lived. He shoots straight on the issues, no matter what polls or the shifting winds of political expediency might dictate. The frank honesty of this book stands in strong contrast to the endlessly nuanced 'ie. deceptive' arguments of the liberal left. God bless him for taking a stand for what's right when so many others in high places simply talk a good game.

a defense of values
Trip Tucker, a future scouts dad, 03/28/2008

Governor Perry's book is a must read for anyone wanting to defend traditional American values. Almost everything good that this country has stood for is under attack by the liberals. We need to draw a line in the sand and defend and preserve the institution of the Boy Scouts! I also applaude the Governor for sending all the proceeds to the Boy Scouts legal defense fund.

This is a good book
Jarrod, a adult leader, 03/27/2008

I read this whole book in 2 days and I enjoyed all of it. I am an adull leader in my troop after quitting after getting the rank of life. I think they boy scouts are under attack in everyway described in this book and I think they need to leave the boy scouts alone. Morally straight don't mean that you can have a gay scoutmaster for the boys.

harmful to scouts
A reviewer, A reviewer, 03/15/2008

I am an eagle scout and an assitant scoutmaster, and proud of that. However, i am dissiponted to view the hypricoy in the boy scouts. we as an orginazaton give out religous medals for many different religions, yet we base our vaules on christian ones. if a religion a scoutmaster belongs to says that homosexuilty is not a sin, who are we to say he is inmoral? we either need to accept all religons and all different beliefs, or none at all. being gay does not make someone not morally straight, being hateful does.
