Short History Lesson

Earlier this week, the 241^st anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord were celebrated or should have been. Historians have tabbed it the “Shot heard Around the World.” In all, about 50 Americans were killed in the Battle of Concord. My research indicates that by population, that’s the equivalent of more than 6,000 Americans dying in a single military action today.

But today, Republican political consultants would rather throw away the country those brave patriots died for, than risk their comfortable salaries, jobs and prominence status. But today, most pundits would rather promote open borders and watch our country disappear than lose their media appearances. But today, wealthy ranchers and farmers would rather see the country our ancestors shed their blood for overwhelmed with foreign cultures than give up their cheap alien labor.

So far, seven of the 13 Colonies have spoken: "Georgia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia" — and, on the anniversary of Lexington and Concord, "New York." All seven held elections, not party-fixed forums or caucuses. Does it not appear like the 13 Colonies are trying to save America, once again?
