Today is Thanksgiving, which may be the most conservative holiday of them all. It's old, for one thing. And it reminds us to be thankful for what we have, including what out forbears gave us. That's the opposite of complaining and blaming others, which are not conservative characteristics.
On this Thanksgiving Day, 398 years after the Pilgrims celebrated their survival in the New World with a feast giving thanks to God for delivering them and preparing them for a kingdom to come without cold or wetness or hunger or want, Massachusetts conservatives have many things to be thankful for.
For a stroll down the public school memory lane, Mary Rice Hasson and Theresa Farnan offer this pleasant throwback:
"If you're like most Americans, you attended public schools. You emerged with a strong connection to the community, received a good education, and made lifelong friends who shared your values and faith."
