[…] is the original post: Daily Digest for November 11 This entry was posted in Boston, News, Uncategorized and tagged boston, daily-digest, […]
I found this part of an article:If you’re not happy with the star you’re on – and find yourself so enticed and enthralled by that star over there – that you feel at liberty to occupy the streets of our cities and shout through bullhorns about unfairness and inequity – I’m cool with that. You are well within your rights to do so. Because our veterans have given you that voice.
Me? I’m perfectly fine right here. On this star. Knowing that every night I sleep, I do so under the blanket of protection offered by men like Col. John Ripley.
And on this Veterans Day, I ask one thing. Please set your bullhorns down. Just for one day. And quietly say thank you to every veteran you see.
Amen
Say you socialist deviants are claiming victory for obama preventing the creation of 20,00 jobs?Funny, I didn’t see Stopping the Keystone pipeline in any of your literature.
What would be helpful is if all of you shiftless, lazy slackers would stop committing crimes.
