The politically correct gestures of seasonal salutation (Happy Holidays, Seasons Greetings, etc.), which for too long have served as substitutes for the real thing, have become hollow, stale and boring.
Living in New Britain and more and more these last couple of years, We have sensed a desire on the part of many to return to the traditional greeting, “Merry Christmas.”
Perhaps this has to do with the disillusionment of false hope proffered by those who told us that redemption lies in government on the local level, the state level, and the national level.
This Christmas Season, while many citizens are grateful are for their health and the love of their family, a growing percentage of our citizens are mired in worry.
Will a job be their next year or can a job be found? Will a college student have to move back home because of costs or lack of options? How will a high school graduate find the means to higher education? How much more will we have to pay in taxes?
These are all the questions of the day for many of what used to be called the American Middle Class.
I guess O'Brien thinks that bringing young people puking and urinating on people's front lawns to the entire city is a good thing? Afterall, isn't he also attempting to bring the largest homeless shelter in the state to the middle of a residential neighborhood where we can soon expect the views of drunks passed out in doorways and herion junkies shooting up in people's front yards to be commonplace. You will soon have to accept that your young children will be playing with the discarded drug needles of the junkies who will no doubt residing in the new homeless shelter at St. Thomas Aquinas. Junkies, drunks, thieves and prostitutes will soon outnumber the working class in these neighborhoods and you will have O'Brien and his band of merrymen (DeFronzo, Trueworthy, Sherwood and company) to thank for your new neighbors!
