OK you lost me on this. From Wiki:

'It is sometimes referred to as "the Cradle of Liberty".'

and

'Faneuil Hall is also the headquarters of the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts founded 1638.'

So the Gadsden flag seems appropriate, no?

Because MA has gone from the "Cradle of Liberty" to where freedom died.

Because "Dont Tread on Me" has become "where's my handout".

Because in the state of MA, you face felony charges for possessing a single piece of brass from a firing range, yet convicted child molesters serve "up to" 3.5 years.


Basically, because this state sucks big hairy rocks right off the ground...
