Cambridge Removes Boy Scouts Donation Boxes For Comforts For Our Troops -- As Being "Too Pro-War!"

Supportin' the troops, Cambridge style.

“We have never seen anything like this decision in Cambridge before,” Patterson wrote. The city is changing for the worse if decisions like this are allowed to be made.”

Yup. The only mitigating circumstance here is that the donation boxes were set up in polling stations, so that people could donate on their way to vote. Someone (unnamed, of course) complained about this being "too political" and thus got all the boxes -- which had been put there and promoted at personal expense -- tossed out.

Wanting to give a soldier a fucking XBox game is now "too political"?
