Cambridge lefties have at last begun to show their true colors - and they sure as hell aren’t red, white and blue.

You know all that rhetoric about hating the war in Iraq, but supporting the U.S. troops who are there? Well, fuhgedaboudit!

A troop of Boy Scouts in Cambridge set up donation boxes at 33 polling stations in that city on election day last week. Their mission was to collect amenities for troops serving overseas - those little items like snacks and lip balm that make life a little easier. The Scouts had spent considerable time and money to publicize the event, distributing fliers in city buildings, libraries and local businesses well ahead of time, according to their troop leader, Jamisean Patterson, writing in this week’s Cambridge Chronicle.

Most of the boxes were set up in the lobbies of those polling stations with the permission of the Cambridge Election Commission, Patterson wrote.

Then one resident in one precinct complained about the implied “pro war” message, according to Marsha Weinerman, executive director of the Election Commission. The city’s law department was consulted and “it was determined that the best course of action would be to remove the boxes,” Weinerman told the Chronicle.

Takes your breath away, no?

That’s a pretty tough lesson in partisan politics to learn at such a tender age. Might be that concerned readers could help provide a more enobling one:

Boy Scouts of America
Troop 45
PO Box 38-1241
Cambridge, MA 02238

I wonder if the box would have been removed if it was full of donated condoms and promoted AIDS prevention?

Isn't the Boston Globe classified as "mainstream media"? You folks sure change your tune in a hurry.

Once again minority rules. As long as that minority is a leftie.
