Hardly a challenge.

Would you rather take your young daughters to the Kentucky Derby or a left wing rave riot in Boston?

Boston at one time - late 19th century - had civilized folk. The Boston Brahmin had class and knew manners. Any set of folks that would elect Ted Kennedy for four decades can hardly be considered civilized. Look up the word “uncouth,” you syphilitic Marxist slime.

In fact, I’m going to expose the present day Boston infestation as slime compared to their ancestors.

The art glass windows at Memorial Hall at Harvard are one example of the Boston Brahmin - honorable men all - and the commemoration saluting the men and their sacrifice during the American Civil war.

Notable in this hall of commemoration is John La Farge’s Battle Window. A gift by the class of 1860, which lost 12 classmates in the war, including Robert Gould Shaw, the “Battle Window” depicts one large battle scene.

This window shows the classical warrior in a cuirass holding a sword in his right hand and the staff of a red banner in his left, encouraging his men to follow him into battle.

Honoring the scholars who become soldiers, the class of 1857 in 1879 hired Daniel Cottier to relate the story of Elizabethan poet Sir Philip Sydney and Epimainondos, a scholar who helped defeat Sparta. In the stained glass rendition, Cottier shows both as scholars, holding products of learning, while also armed with weapons of war - sword and spear. Both died from wounds in battle, defending their respective countries and are fit symbols of scholars who died in the Civil War.

Would liberal Bostonians today be capable of enlisting such great art? Not in your lifetime.

Liberals in Boston today are Marxist scum of the Earth and would spit on Shaw’s grave.
