Battle of Lexington and Concord

18. and Emerson's poem

Concord Hymn
by Ralph Waldo Emerson


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.

The foe long since in silence slept;
Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
And Time the ruined bridge has swept
Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.

On this green bank, by this soft stream,
We set today a votive stone;
That memory may their deed redeem,
When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Spirit, that made those heroes dare
To die, and leave their children free,
Bid Time and Nature gently spare
The shaft we raise to them and thee.

21. Yes, Concord. It is a favorite American history date for the RW.

I agree that we certainly could go orange.

[MrSlayer]

22. I'll buy some Tang for the occassion.

Hitler is April 20th.

[radfringe]

23. depends on how far down the toilet bush*'s poll numbers are

http://www.pollingreport.com/

his average has been holding just below or at 49% for a couple of weeks

but his "press conference" didn't exactly WOW the people, and with the mess in Iraq, hostages taken, 9-11 commission, gas prices going up...welllllllll I guess we are overdue for a diversion...

[Lefty48197]

24. Do your patriotic duty and spy on a gun nut

The next Tim McVeigh is probably out there right now plotting to "get even" with Janet Reno et al.
