Boy Scouts in Massachusettes Called "Warmongers"

A Boy Scout troop in Cambridge, Massachusetts was accused of being pro-war after holding a collection of supplies for troops serving overseas. The collection was being held at 33 polling sites on election day in Cambridge, but after a complaint, the boxes were removed. When the election board was asked why they were removed, they cited that organizations supporting a political message are not permitted to be within 150 of polling sites, even though they were granted permission by the election board to hold the collection on two separate occasions before the polls were open.

Since when is supporting American troops a political message? Have we really gotten to a point in this country where we can't do anything nice for other people without being reprimanded for it? No wonder the Democratic Party is being labeled anti-American, well, because frankly some of them are.

Fortunately we have people like Boston radio host, Dan Ray, to counteract this act of maliciousness with a supply drive of his own. After he heard about the news, he decided to open up the lobby of his radio station to serve as a collection site for all types of toiletries to be sent to the troops.

"We weren't trying to support the war. We were just trying to support our friends and neighbors and family that are overseas serving us. We were all kind of in shock, the kids were hurt, they didn't know what to say over this controversy," Jamisean Patterson, Committee Chair for Troop 45 told Fox News.

I have said this once, and I am sure I will say it many times again, just because you do not support the war does not mean that you shouldn't support troops. These brave men and women are making so many sacrifices to fight for this country, and the least we can do is to send them a few toiletries to make their lives a little less difficult from time to time. I am really sick and tired of the people who make everything into a huge political issue and cannot let people do something nice for someone else. This will only teach the kids that giving to others isn't okay, and that we should let things like political biases determine who we can and can't do nice things for.
