I was born and raised in Massachusetts relatively near to Lexington and Concord. I left the area in 1984 never to return. In my youth the celebration of Patriots Day on April 19 was a favorite day for me. There was the Red Sox game which was scheduled for 11 AM, the completion of the Boston Marathon right up the street from Fenway Park at about 2 PM and of course all of the festivities in Lexington and Concord. All through the early years of my life there was still a sense of Patiotism, there was a viable Republican Party presence and, I dare say, a viable Christian culture. Remember that the men and women of April 19 were Patriots and Christians. They were family people working to birth a free nation and to make things better for those who followed. What happened? Does anyone think that the current governing regime is helpful? I do not. I think they have largely trashed a once great place.
What happened?
Communist infiltration of the Church led to many of your neighbors molesting and being molested. As goes the Church, so goes the culture.
