Liberty Rally in Boston Draws over 2,000 Patriots

 

Yesterday, Monday May 4, on the steps of the Massachusetts State House, an “Open Up Massachusetts, Open Up the United States Liberty Rally” was held.  Over 2,000 Patriots from all walks of life, and ethnic backgrounds were on hand  holding flags, banners and signs.  The rally was organized by “The Wolfman,” Jeff Kuhner, Boston’s most popular talk-show host whose show airs on WRKO-AM 68, and John Hugo and his Super Happy Fun America.  The local corporate Fake News media, which failed to cover the Freedom Convoy in Boston two weeks ago, were on hand to give the event its bias spin.

Just a short distance from the State House is the Granary Burial where the remains of John Hancock, Paul Revere, Crispus Attucks, Sam Adams, James Otis, Robert Treat Paine to mention a few.  When the rally got underway, they stopped spinning in their graves and in unison said:  “It is about time.”

 

Camp Constitution’s Annual Family Camp Is Still On for July 19-24.

 

While many organizations have either canceled or rescheduled their activities, Camp Constitution has every intention of holding its annual family camp from Sunday July 19 to Friday July 24 at the Singing Hills Christian Camp in Plainfield, NH.

Today Marks the 245th Anniversary of One of America’s Most Important Events

 

Today marks the  245th anniversary of the Battle of Lexington and Concord.  Over the years, Camp Constitution videotapes the reenactments.   Sadly, due to the Coronavirus, all Patriot’s Day Activities have been canceled.  However, we did a live Facebook feed on Lexington Green early this morning to honor the brave men who answered the alarm, and stood their ground against the most powerful military of the day.  Here is a link to last year’s event on Lexington Green:

 

  Alan Belanger, our Camp juggler and John Hugo of Super Happy Fun America accompanied me on the Green. May future generations of  Americas never forget  the memory of these brave men.

 

 

Freedom Convoy in Boston: Open Up Our State and Country

John Hugo and his Super Happy Fun America   https://www.superhappyfunamerica.com/  held a Freedom Convoy throughout  Boston today (April 17).   The event started at 2:00 PM on Boston’s waterfront and made its way through the North End, Financial District, Downtown, Chinatown, South End and the Fenway.  There were approximately 40 vehicles bedecked  in patriotic banners, U.S., Christian, Straight Pride, and Trump flags.  The participants represented a cross section of Americans-black, white, Hispanic,  Asian, young, middle-aged and old.

The theme of the convoy was “Open Up Our State and Country.” In an interview shortly before the event, John Hugo said that “A medical emergency shouldn’t be used to “suspend constitutional rights  while they are letting  thousands of people out of jail they are arresting  people attending funerals.  Enough is enough.”  While the convey had its share of thumbs down, obscene gestures, and foul language from  the onlookers,  it received far more thumbs up,  and words of support.    The convoy stopped in front of the Massachusetts State House and attendees  held a short rally calling on Governor Baker to end the lock down.   The Boston Police were on hand and they were  supportive and cooperative.   When the convoy drove through Chinatown, we observed that all of the restaurants were closed.   Back in late February, Mayor Walsh and other Leftists of his ilk were calling people racist for avoiding Chinatowns.  He was nowhere to be found among the shuttered doors of the community.

Patriot all over the nation, while acknowledging the seriousness of the Coronavirus pandemic, are organizing rallies and convoys demanding an end to government overreach which is destroying our once robust economy causing unemployment, fear, depression, and even suicides.

Zip Tying Basketball Nets in Boston to Save Us From the Coronavirus

Driving around in his unsustainable SUV,  Marty Walsh, the Mayor of Boston, was horrified to see people playing basketball in violation of all of the new rules and regulations that have been enacted.  So, what would have been construed as an act of vandalism or at the very least a public nuance just a week ago,  he ordered that all of the basketball nets in Boston’s parks and playground be zip tied.

Mayor Walsh, the same man who back in February  called people racist for not going to Chinatown for fear of getting the virus,   turned Boston into a sanctuary city, promotes unsafe sexual activities that weaken the immune system, and signed an ordinance to ban plastic bags and promote the use of unsanitary reusable bags, knows what is best for Bostonians.   There are more people in an isle of a Boston grocery store than on a basketball court, but common sense is one of the first victims of government overreach,  While he closes down city parks, and churches, he and Governor Baker consider abortion mills “essential” and have allowed them to remain open.

The Weekly Sam: Outcome Based Education Exposed

Sam Blumenfeld said that government schools were “sick, obsolete, dinosaurs.”  Hopefully, one of the positive impacts of the Coronavirus will be that thousands of parents will come to the same conclusion as their children are learning from home.

Here is a speech Sam did in 1996 exposing Outcome Based Education-another top down scheme to destroy the minds of our nation’s children and give more power to big government:
