When I was a kid, we celebrated: Washington's Birthday, Columbus Day, Christmas.
Today, we lump the mediocrities, the giants, and the Clintons into one generic Presidents Day,
we revile Columbus, and at the end of the year, we are (currently) allowed a "happy holiday".
Three Great Men, Jesus, Columbus, and Washington, swept from the public square.
Three Great Men, each of whom changed the way we live, thrown to the shadows of popular culture.
Does a pattern emerge?
Washington.
Gone.
Columbus.
Gone.
Jesus.
Gone.
Who are the people who changed our holidays? Where do they meet? How do they vote?
How do they spread the Word to the Faithful?
Who are these people?
Do they ever sleep?
