ANOTHER Shot Heard 'Round The World

On April 19 of 1775 at the old North Bridge in Lexington, an unknown colonial minuteman fired the "shot heard 'round the world" - the shot often said to be the beginning of the American Revolution. (Actually, many shots had already been fired on that fateful day).

Well, here we are, 235 years later and once again Massachusetts is responsible for another shot heard 'round the world, with the election of Scott Brown, a Republican who will now take the Senate seat held for nearly a half century by the "Liberal Lion", the late Edward "Teddy" Kennedy.

We are unsure just what the full ramifications will be, just as the Colonists were unsure how their own fight for freedom would end. But one thing is certain - America is not the same as it was yesterday, and a lot of power-grabbers in Washington are suddenly taking note that "We, The People" are angry - and that we still have the power to rid ourselves of the scourge that politicians on both sides of the aisle have foisted upon us.

The irony is that, in losing, the Democrats (or rather, the Progressives) in Washington may have just been saved. Saved from themselves. Now that the brakes are being applied to their socialist agenda, the folks may cool down a bit, be less angry, and maybe - just maybe - the Democrats can survive their attempted suicide reminiscent of all those followers of Jim Jones who drank the Kool-Aid.

That sound you hear is a collective sigh of relief coming from all those Democrats that Obama, Pelosi and Reid have been bullying and bribing for a year. Many wanted nothing to do with Cap & Trade or this Health Care debacle, but they had little choice. Now they see a chance to save their own butts. And to think they owe it all to a Republican.

Could you use a laugh? Steny Hoyer (D) House Majority Leader said a win by Brown (R) will only prove how angry the people are at - get this - REPUBLICANS.

Where do these idiots come from? And how do they get elected?
