A Democratic Scholar’s Version Of History

By

Speaking at a rally for Massachusetts senatorial candidate Martha Coakley last Friday, former president and Rhodes scholar Bill Clinton, said:

“I came here to tell the people of Massachusetts this:  This country’s revolution was born in Massachusetts.  The Revolutionary War was first won here.  The war was over here years before it was finally finished.  It started with the Boston Tea Party, and the right wing Republicans have appropriated that on the premise the tea party was against government.”
 
Clinton added, “What they were against was abuse of power.”

Perhaps distracted by someone in the audience wearing a blue dress, Clinton conveniently forgot that the American Revolution was against GOVERNMENT abuse of power.

But somehow I don’t think the American people, particularly those heading out to vote tomorrow in Massachusetts, have forgotten.

A Call To American Patriots

By

If you believe in America, if you believe She is the greatest country in the world, it’s time to show your colors.  Tomorrow we celebrate 233 years of unheard-of independence.  But that independence and our freedoms are now under greater attack than at any other time in our history for the enemy we fight is not without, the enemy has taken root within.

Americans, WE NEED YOU TOMORROW.  It’s time reclaim America’s independence and what better way to do it than by gathering with those who believe in FREEDOM.

There are Tea Parties being held all over America tomorrow.  If your heart beats in the rhythms of a true, red-white-and-blue Patriot, I urge you to GO TO ONE OF THEM.  Take your friends, take your family, especially your children, and raise your voices in peaceful protest against those who now seek to undermine the Constitution.  (You can locate one near you by looking HERE.)

You don’t need any preparation.  You already have what you need.  Sure, signs with astute, pithy phrases are always good, but what is most important is YOU – your presence – to show all the unrepresenting representatives that we, the people, do NOT want them subverting our rights for the ill-gotten gains of a few who seek only corrupted, egotistical and tyrannical power.  What those few keep forgetting is that there is strength in numbers.  Strength in numbers by Constitutional design.  It is high time for an overwhelming majority outcry against the traitors in Washington and a siren call for the return to common sense and sanity.

I have noted here before that the Tea Parties are amazing events.  If you’ve never “protested”, there is no reason to be shy.  To speak out in support of the Constitution is both your right and your duty.  In doing so beside hundreds or even thousands of ordinary folks – people just like you – you will find your weary heart filled with renewed hope and strength.  Along with voting, truly, this is one of the most important actions you will ever take in your lifetime.  Trust me when I say that you will be able to lay your head down tomorrow night with the honest comfort that you at least tried to do something to get America out from under the jackboots now stomping through Washington.

If there are those who wish to opine that the stars have somehow aligned, let them.  For they now align in favor of the Patriot.  The 4th of July, our most sacred celebration as a nation, falls on a Saturday.  What better day to pack up your family and your friends and honor our Founding Fathers than by standing up in support of and thanks for the ultimate blessings of the gifts they have given us?

I look forward to shaking your hand tomorrow, my friend.  May the spirit of the American Revolution live again.

The Current American Revolution

By

You say you want a revolution?  Feeling lucky, patriot?

Do you even know what you’re talking about? 

An excellent piece at American Thinker, written by Herbert E. Meyer, deftly puts it into proper perspective.  For at this critical time in American history, it is important to understand that a revolution isn’t always a good thing, nor is it always a bloody thing.  But it IS a very real thing.

To paraphrase Glinda, the Good Witch of the North, “Are you a good guy, or a bad guy?”
