HELP, the redcoats are coming back to Concord!
Patriot’s Day in Concord MA on April 16 — a day for quiet speeches, cub scouts in full regalia, and veterans of foreign wars. But this year the Minuteman National Park gave a permit to a white supremacist group called the “Proud Boys” to hold a rally in the parking lot of the North Bridge; right in the middle of the Patriot’s Day parade route. Really? At the birthplace of liberty, they want to give a platform to the most vocal proponents of tyranny? We used to call them redcoats. These suckers are not patriots, as hate is not patriotic. They are the politically correct Trump monkeys.
Longfellow wrote about farmers gathering to fight the redcoats:
“Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country-folk to be up and to arm.”
The parade is at 9:30 AM. I will be wearing a sprig of pine.
