The Concord Bridge and the Left’s Anti-American Revolution

The Concord Battlefield is less than an hour’s drive from my home. I go there at least once a year, to reflect on our roots and the nobility of the American spirit. With the anti-American revolution in our streets, its symbolism is more important than ever.

This is where America started, on April 19, 1775.

In Ralph Waldo Emerson’s immortal words:

“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled,
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.”

It was the Minutemen, with muskets in hand, standing at the North Bridge, who launched us on our national journey. The Declaration of Independence, which came more than a year later, articulated their hopes and dreams. Words are essential. But revolutions always start with grimly determined men with guns in their hands. That’s why the left is so determined to take ours away.
