Last week, the local Boy Scouts set up boxes at the polling places and requested items be donated like baby wipes, snack bars, toiletry type stuff that could they pack up and send to our Troops for the Holidays. Someone complained that this was "pro" war activity so Cambridge city government ordered all the collection bins removed from public areas.

The beatings will continue until morale improves

They should put a big wall around Cambridge and let all of the wacky liberals badger each other to death with their warped sense of what's right and wrong. For cryin' out loud. Just because you don't agree with the war doesn't mean that you have to be against helping the people who are overseas serving our country.

I'm going to start a campaign to close all of the food banks in Cambridge. I don't like that they support the war on hunger.

I used to live in Cambridge and it doesn't surprise me that some over liberalized nut would say that and get that kind of activity shut down.
Cantebridgians will turn anything into a political crusade, I used to get all kinds of nuts knocking on my door to support some crazy cuase
