To be printed as an opinion in the local edition of the Communist Worker’s Daily News would be expected, but to be presented as a bona fide viewpoint in a major newspaper is disgraceful. It goes without saying that our opinions here at the BPPA, collectively or individually as conservative-minded police officers would – in all probability – not stand even a remote chance of being reprinted in the Globe by the increasingly unhinged and demented people at that institution who attempt to shape and mold public opinion. The sickness of Boston Globe liberalism By James W. Carnell, Pax Editor The content of Mr. Serino’s letter is repulsive and deplorable, to borrow a descriptive term from one the Globe’s most cherished and revered politicians – “To many of us on the left who renounce the Stars and Stripes…” Just think of the lack of logic involved in formulating that opinion. What kind of a nut could actually “ renounce the stars and stripes ”, knowing the alternative? To whom would Mr. Serino cry for help if ISIS and its barbaric savages marched into Salem and demanded all residents bow toAllah and their perverted form of Islam? (On second thought, if it were known that Mr. Serino was the one making the call for help, who among us would bother answering?) Mr. Serino rambles on to excoriate law enforcement and ties a long-ago historical event – “Shay’s rebellion” (an uprising against government and taxation in 1786-87) – to a modern-day, manufactured farce such as the Michael Brown shooting and associated riots in Ferguson, MO. in 2014. Of course, if Mr. Serino were in possession of his faculties, he would have to admit that the circumstances surrounding the Michael Brown
