Massachusetts Patriots!

Massachusetts Patriots
By Ryan Riell

Massachusetts, and Boston in particular has a storied past when it comes to American patriots such as Sam Adams, John Adams and John Quincy Adams to name a few. Now that the dust has settled on the special election last night, there are even more patriots in Massachusetts!

I cannot be happier than I am right now to announce to you, as if you haven’t heard, Scott Brown (R) defeated the democratic machine last night and took the senate seat that was vacated by the late Ted Kennedy. Considering how progressive Massachusetts is (Obama won by 26% over another progressive, John McCain in 2008), it’s amazing that there was even a race, let alone a republican victory!

So what does this mean to you? It means the progressive machine that was in control has just been put in check. The healthcare bill and cap and trade are now dead in the water, which will go a LONG way to stemming the collapse of the American economy. This is an ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER! This fight against progressives and the ursupation of power is not over, it is JUST beginning

Senator Feingold (D-WI) said “It’s probably back to the drawing board on health care, which is unfortunate.” Representative Delahunt (D-MA) said he will advise progressive leaders to scrap the big bill and move towards a more popular piece that can attract republicans. President Obama himself said “people are angry, and they’re frustrated. Not just because of what’s happened in the last year or tow years, but what’s happened over the last eight years.” His White House went on to say that the anger from the last eight years that elected him is the same anger that elected Scott Brown. At what point do you think President Obama is going to take ownership for his presidency?

What is really interesting to see is the split that is happening within the democratic party this morning, but apparently, George Soros or Andy Stern got on the phone and put everyone in check and on the same page… they will wait for Senator-Elect Brown to be seated! Earlier today, Obama advisor David Axelrod said they were going forward with their agenda and Pelosi said they will move forward with those considerations in mind.

President Obama himself warned Democrats in Congress not to “jam” a health care reform bill through before Senator-Elect Brown can be sworn in.

Last night, Senator-Elect Brown said “Let me tell you when I first got the feeling something big was happening in this campaign. It was when I was driving along and spotted a handmade, Scott Brown yard sign that I hadn’t actually put there myself. I would argue this was a grass roots movement, generated by people who are sick of DC treading all over their Constitutional rights! Would Rep. Pelosi and company call this “astroturf”?

This little campaign of ours was destined for greater things than any of us knew, and the message went far beyond the name on the sign. It all started with me, my truck “real Americans” don’t look down their Harvard Law and University of Chicago law professor like noses and mock someone who drives a truck… REAL AMERICANS have been driving those trucks while BUILDING this GREAT NATION, and a few dedicated volunteers. It ended with Air Force One making an emergency run to Logan. I didn't mind when President Obama came here and criticized me - that happens in campaigns. But when he criticized my truck, that's where I draw the line.

We had the machine scared and scrambling, and for them it is just the beginning of an election year filled with surprises. Last nights election results were the first actual shots of the new Revolution… the one to take back our Country! They will be challenged again and again across this country. When there’s trouble in Massachusetts, there’s trouble everywhere - and now they know it. Never, never forget what Senator Nelson (NE), Senator Landrieu (LA) and Senator Lincoln (AR) attempted to sell this country down the toilet to garner political and monetary favors for themselves and their respective States, much to the detriment of the Nation.

In every corner of our state, I met with people, looked them in the eye, shook their hand, and asked them for their vote. I didn’t worry about their party affiliation, and they didn’t worry about mine. It was simply shared conviction that brought us all together.” We either UNIT as a Nation and fight off the shackles of economic slavery that are being thrust upon us, OR we will DIE.


This morning, when Senator-Elect Brown addressed the media, he said “the number one thing I’ve heard is people are tired of business as usual. And what does that mean? It means the behind the scenes deals, the Nebraska subsidizing of Medicaid for ever… things like that just drive people crazy!” He went on to say “maybe there’s a new bread of republican coming to Washington. Maybe people will finally look at someone who is not beholden to the special interests of the party and will look to just solve problems.”

Jumping back to last night, there were three paragraphs in the victory speech that progressives should pay attention to:

“I will work in the Senate to defend our nation’s interests and to keep our military second to none. As a lieutenant colonel and 30-year member of the Army National Guard, I will keep faith with all who serve, and get our veterans all the benefits they deserve.

And let me say this, with respect to those who wish to harm us, I believe that our Constitution and laws exist to protect this nation - they do not grant rights and privileges to enemies in wartime. In dealing with terrorists, our tax dollars should pay for weapons to stop them, not lawyers to defend them.

Raising taxes, taking over our health care, and giving new rights to terrorists is the wrong agenda for our country. What I've heard again and again on the campaign trail, is that our political leaders have grown aloof from the people, impatient with dissent, and comfortable in the back room making deals. And we can do better.”

What Brown said was very important, but the part that will be heard around the world in November is the reaction of the audience, IMMEDIATELY after those words:
“YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN!” Does that sound familiar?

I firmly believe that candidates like Scott Brown are the wave of the future and will crush the norm this November. Normal Americans are tired of the power usurpation being conducted in DC and will remove the narcissistic garbage that is currently in office. This is the first round of real Americans reclaiming America!

Unite or Die!
