As a child in elementary school in Massachusetts, our state and national history was a large part of our education. The role my home state played in the start of the foundation of our country was always emphasized. I like to say, in my older years, we started the United States with the bravery of our citizens to defy the British Crown and the rest of our country, too scared to oppose or were supportive of the crown, are a bunch of chicken shit gravy trainers. We took the hit. The rest of YOU enjoy the benefits of our independent country because of what we did. The Worcester resistance, the Boston Massacre, the Tea Party resistance to outrageous taxation, Paul Revere's ride, The Bunker Hill monument, Lexington and Concord, the USS Constitution, four of our first presidents were from my state. So much history that was imbedded into us as children and about our part in the beginnings of our country. The pride I feel when I think of these men and their times. Massachusetts has an absurd balance of riches in our democracy. However, there are so many traitors from so many areas of our country that have no INVESTMENT in the actual historical beginnings of our country and are willing to destroy it. They come from those states that never were involved in the sacrifice of life, liberty and property that these people suffered. They now live with a government that used to help them prosper and expand, but now, they want to destroy the very government that has allowed them to thrive, until now. They have the government they voted for. Now they are afraid. Of what? They have what they wanted. Enjoy. They pay lip service homage to our real PATRIOTS. The ones that actually pledged their life, liberty and property to the new republic. Now we have whiners.
