‘Boston Strong’: Marching in Lockstep with the Police State
The Rutherford Institute ^ | April 22, 2013 | John W. Whitehead

The lesson for the rest of us is this: once a free people allows the government to make inroads into their freedoms or uses those same freedoms as bargaining chips for security, it quickly becomes a slippery slope to outright tyranny. And it doesn’t really matter whether it’s a Democrat or a Republican at the helm, because the bureaucratic mindset on both sides of the aisle now seems to embody the same philosophy of authoritarian government. Increasingly, those on the left who once hailed Barack Obama as the antidote for restoring the numerous civil liberties that were lost or undermined as a result of Bush-era policies are finding themselves forced to acknowledge that threats to civil liberties are worse under Obama.

Stupid victim slogan. Stupid slogan to cover up violation of American citizen Constitutional rights in favor of finding some puke refugee that should have been here in the first place.

Mark my words, eventually “Boston Strong” will end up being a derisive and the left will be sorry they coined it. Boston Strong - my foot!

The police will keep you safe.

They were after a 19 year old kid that had walked right past them all several hours earlier.

I’m wondering what the police did when they found illegal activities in the houses? They must have found some pot growing or guns that were not registered. Will they go back to make arrests, put the house in a database of potential criminals and wait for an excuse to raid the house? Just wondering.

Amen. They don't even see this coming. They think the government with a liberal in the White House will not do anything to hurt them. Easy prey. Now, we march onto police control in the next event, then the next one..

Was actually hard to hear the muffled chants from under the beds and behind locked doors.

Let’s watch some of the police response, shall we?

Those who sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither.
