They're not the only ones.


Within hours of the twin bombing attacks on the Boston Marathon last year on April 15, the phrase “Boston Strong” began popping up all over the city – scrawled in sidewalk chalk, stenciled in spray paint, and, later, screen-printed on T-shirts.


In the days and months that followed, the motto became a message of solidarity for people all over the country wishing to express their support for the city. And it was a vehicle to raise money for the One Fund, a charity established by Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick (D) and Thomas Menino, then mayor of Boston, the day after the attack.


A year later, the motto has become so ubiquitous that some residents are wondering if enough is enough.

Besides, they acted anything but strong. They caved in as their streets were turned into militarized zones and complied much too easily as SWAT teams made them march out of their own homes.

Boston Strong?

Did even one citizen tell them to go pound sand? I'm sure I would have heard of it.

If Sam Adams had forseen any of this, he might have decided not to waste his time ...

Makes me sick, where it all started, what it's turned into in 239 years.

But hey, he's got a beer named after him.

And where there is a flicker of the remnant burning, out west at the Bundy ranch, these citified trendies would be happy to see him carted off to prison for the rest of his life.

Might just as well put up a fence around Boston and call it a concentration camp.

Speaking of which, today is Patriot's Day, the day we really do remember how strong Boston used to be! God bless the Eastern MA liberty activists that defended their guns and ammo from the government workers that tried to illegally steal their guns and ammo!
