Liberals have been fighting a two pronged war for the last several years. The Boy Scouts of America have been under constant attack from the left, led by the ACLU for their policy of not allowing homosexual scout leaders to go camping with young impressionable boys. Our soldiers in Iraq have also come under attack for volunteering for military service, being called baby killers and war criminals. In Cambridge Massachusetts, liberals gave each other a collective high five as they have now found a way to fight both of these battles on the same front.

The Boy Scouts had placed donation boxes at polling stations in an effort to send care packages to troops serving over seas. Due to the complaint of one resident, the donation boxes were removed:

CAMBRIDGE - Was it just too pro-war for Cambridge? A troop of Boy Scouts is wondering why their donation boxes meant for troops in Iraq were thrown out of polling stations last week.

Election officials ordered the removal of donation boxes set up by a troop of Cambridge Boy Scouts of America during last Tuesday’s municipal election.

The boxes were set up inside the 33 polling stations around the city to collect donations for soldiers serving overseas in the war in Iraq.

Marsha Weinerman, executive director of the city’s Election Commission, said the boxes were removed after a resident complained to commission workers about their implied “pro-war” message.

“We contacted the law department, and it was determined that the best course of action would be to remove the boxes,” Weinerman said.

In a column that appears in this week’s Chronicle, Troop leader Jamisean Patterson said the commission twice granted the scouts permission to set up the boxes at the polling stations.

“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.”

Via Jay at Stop The ACLU, we have the following news report from Fox:

Anyone who feels sending toilet paper and toothpaste to troops serving overseas displays a “pro-war” message needs to seek professional help. The left have argued from the beginning of the war in Iraq they are not anti-troops, only anti-war. After seeing such a disgusting display in Cambridge, do we still need to have this argument?
