Scott Brown’s stunning electoral victory in Massachusetts yesterday confirms to the world what we have known all along: patriotism and common sense are alive and well. Real Americans remain a majority in this country, and the massively-funded, corrupt Democrat machine, engorged with our tax dollars, radical billionaire money and lock-step union support, cannot buy elections, even in hardcore Democrat states, once the sleeping giant has awoken.
And make no mistake about it: we are wide awake!
Scott Brown's election was certainly about healthcare. Massachusetts already has its own expensive plan. They don't need or want even more government intrusion. It was also about national security. Brown's own internal polling convinced the campaign this was true. People feel insecure with this President and his administration, and with good reason.
But it was even more than that. People have had enough. We have had enough of bald-faced lies from Democrats. We have had enough of big spending bills being disingenuously presented as "deficit reducers." We have had enough of massive government programs guaranteed to cripple the economy and lose jobs. We have had enough of ever more intrusive government attempting to take over every aspect of our daily lives. We have had enough of blatant corruption and coddling of terrorists. We have had enough of radicals attempting to ram their virulently anti-American agenda down our throats and calling us "domestic terrorists" for objecting.
This election is a game changer. Make no mistake about it. Not only is the U.S. Senate in play for Republicans in November, but so is the House of Representatives, state legislatures and governor's mansions. Last night, Sarah Palin said to Greta Van Susteren on Fox News "We just witnessed a wicked political pivot... This is a tidal wave sweeping the country..." She is right.
Now, Republicans have an uncanny ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We have seen it time and again and that is a real danger here. So let me tell you what this victory is not. It is not about getting Republicans a seat at the Democrat table. Let me repeat that.
This election is not about getting Republicans a seat at the Democrat table.
If nothing else has become clear over the past year, Republicans have to have at least realized this: Democrats don't share. Any effort to use this victory to give Republicans a better "negotiating position" on Democrat-sponsored bills will simply make it easier for Democrats to pursue their reckless agenda, only now they will have "bipartisan" support. Come November, voter contempt for Republicans will be as palpable as it is now for Democrats. Republicans will lose.
Going along to get along is out. Compromise is out. And if Republicans don't get it they will be repeating the mistakes that put them back into the minority in the first place.
The reason We The People are in open revolt is because we finally clearly recognize that the entire Democrat agenda is willfully destructive. Republicans need to get this through their heads. We are not merely dealing with a Party of "opposing views." We are dealing with an international movement that will destroy our Republic by snatching our freedoms, our wealth and our independence, with the ultimate goal of, as Barack Obama said, "fundamentally transforming" our Constitutional Republic into a socialist dictatorship.
Republicans have no excuse to be supporting or even compromising with that agenda. Their job should be prevent Democrats from imposing this nation-wrecking agenda, while convincingly articulating their reasons for doing so and offering superior alternatives.
As for Martha Coakley, good riddance and don't let the door smack you on the rear on the way out.

VERY WELL PUT, Jim. One victory doesn't win the war. This should be the beginning or awakening of we the people to choose carefully in November and in 2012. The worst thing would be to elect Republicans who are just like the Democrats. We are just getting started! PAY ATTENTION, AMERICA. Still a LOT of work to do.
As the saying goes don't count your chickens before they hatch. The war isn't over and the sleezy scumbag Marxist demo-rats will pull some stunt to delay Brown's confirmation in order to get this health care crap rammed through. Mark my word these corrupt bastards will stop at nothing to get their agenda rammed through whether we like it or not.
Very well said Jim and thanks for saying it!
Isn't it ironic that almost 235 years later, Massachusetts once again fires the "shot heard 'round the world"!
Very well written article, Jim.
This President and his Marxist Politburo, masquerading as the Democratic majority, in Congress, have done everything in their power to inflict a one party, dictatorial system of government on the American people.
Now, the people, in the most liberal state in the United States, have sent a message that they are not willing to give up their liberty. They are tired of the back room deals, the bribes and extortion that have been the hallmarks of the Obama Administration and the Democratic Congress.
It is now up to the rest of America to follow the example of liberal Massachussetts and take the country back from this Manchurian Candidate, who calls himself President and to flush the commode of the democratic congress of the waste that stagnates in those halls.
If things play out as they should, then 2010 should be a good year for patriotic Americans across the nation.
I think you're overreading this outcome. There's a lot of confusion and anger among Mass independents over the economy and they're blaming Obama, who inherited this mess less than a year ago.
Mona, Obama did not inherit the mess from Bush - that is a fallacy created by the Liberal media. If you want to place blame for any financial mess, blame Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Up until the end, Barney was saying Fannie Mae was fine. Fine alright, finely corrupt. Dems make a mess for the Republicans to clean up. Dems can't stop spending money they don't have. And they love spending other people's money. If we are going to play the blame game, Bush can blame Clinton and Clinton can blame Carter, and Carter can blame FDR, and FDR can blame Garfield, and why not George Washington or the King of England? How about taking some personal responsibility. Nobody twisted his arm or put a gun to his little elite head and made him take the Presidency. He wanted it, so he could shoot bullets through the Constitution and destroy the greatness of American. cont.
cont. If that is not his objective, then he is utterly stupid, because he is doing the exact opposite of what history has shown how the President should govern. He wants to rule, not govern. Obama was born and bred to destroy American's greatness. It is the master he serves. The people of Mass. and NJ and VA know that he is trying to control everything within his reach and beyond, and they will not have it. We, will not have it. It is our country, not his, and We the People will take it back from these 60's Hippies. The only thing transparent about Obama is his lies. The problem with Dems and Repubs is that for years they have been playing politics, and while they were busy playing games with our lives, a radical sicko took over the White House with the Chicago Mafia corruption and thuggery. And the snobby elites that claim they're Liberal and tolerant better wake up and smell the stench of corruption and Fascism or one day our Freedom will be gone.
What an excellent comment Pajamas....it should be copied and distributed throughout the net!!
I am appalled that our "President" actually showed up to support that socialist pig of a candidate. I am more appalled that we care since she lost anyhow- shows some of the American people may be able to think after all!
Great article, thank you!
