Im a Bostonian, and you are, too.
No matter where youre from, youve got that Boston blood boiling through you. You may not know it yet, but you soon will.
So, what makes up a Bostonian? Plenty of good, bad and indifferent factors comprise your standard-issued Bostonian. Where one is born may have a lot to do with it, according to some, but as this tragedy will prove, weve all got a little Boston in us.
I spent six wonderful years as a Boston resident a mere blink of an eye to many of its prideful natives. However, as millions can attest, a day in this city lasts a lifetime. Ill never claim to be from Boston, and theres a chance Ill never be an official inhabitant of its city limits again. But I repeat: I am a proud Bostonian.
If youre reading this, you are, too.
If you woke up on Tuesday, realized Monday wasnt just a bad dream, and your first thought was, What can I do to help? then youre a Bostonian......

just like 9-11 bostonians will want everyone to unite and a few days later most bostonians will go back to their libtard anti-Constitution ways.

I worked and lived in Copley Square for quite a while a few years back...
I agree this won’t shock them back to sensibility but for now they are in all our thoughts and prayers.
When will metrosexual liberals that live in places like Boston & SFO understand what the REAL threat to this country is??
While I don’t celebrate this attack in any way, it should be a wake-up call to Liberal swine:
Rather than focus on “Gun Control,” we should shift attention back to “Terrorist Control” where our focus should have been all along.
Obama just hates the fact that this takes focus away from his anti-gun agenda and appropriately targets Islamic Extremists.
Grow up, Obama and your fascist ilk!
No, I'm not.
Horse crap from some guy who lived in the city for a while.
Big effing deal.
I’m a Bostonian, and you are, too.
No, I’m not.
Same here.
I no longer consider myself in solidarity with about 50% of those who infest this land.
Just watching Deval Patrick and Squaw Warren at the morning presser was enough to make me ill.
Some things never change such as the absolutely incomprehensible traffic flows. Boston has some nice features and are readily enjoyed by many because boating is great fun almost anywhere but the nonsense about it being a great Athens is simply rot. I cannot stand going into the city for any reason other than work.
I could rant on and on about the negative aspects of my home town but the numbers take care of that regarding taxes and population trends. It is not the place or Mom, Dad, two kids and a dog. Most persons it seems to me, who refer to themselves as “Bostonians” have never actually lived in the city itself. The city is supported by suburbanites in virtually every way. Even the cops and firemen decline to be compelled to maintain residency and it has in the past been a key negotiating point in contract negotiations.
Great place for the LGBT whatever crowd.
Exactly. The people who gave us Lexington and Concord are now anti-American communists. ESAD Massachusetts.
I am sorry for the tragedy. But the people who kept voting for Ted Kennedy are scum.

And Bawney Fwank and Markey and JF Kerry and on and on and on..........

Liberals will never get it. Their minds have been stolen

It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bamas Communist plan today.

Our minds are sound!
I felt bad and prayed for those who lost their lives and the brutally injured... I prayed accordingly.
BUT, there is no way in hell that I will ever join with the Frank, Kennedy, Kerry, etc. club. I stand will real patriots, not libs.
Fellow FReepers should know that 35% of the voters vote Republican and many independents always vote for Republican governors...not ALL Mass citizens are massh*les.
Massachusetts Republicans have to fight the big fight everyday.
The danger remains Communism.

Aren’t all public prayers banned in the US?
I hear all these politicians and TV personalities haphazardly use the word “prayer” and I have to snicker. I hope they all get sued by the atheists through the ACLU.
What a bunch of scam artists. If they would publicly get on their knees and ask for God’s help, I’ll join them. But until that time I think it is all part of the daily smoke and mirrors.
That’s one of the BEST.....EVER!
They don’t get more accurate than that.
