Tag Archives: Ted Kennedy

I’m doing my best to stay away from President Obama’s press conference comments. The level of elitism at that podium yesterday was simply too high even for me to analyze and still afford all due respect to the office. So I’ve decided to go a little closer to home today.

I supported Scott Brown for Ted Kennedy’s old seat basically because it was a historical opportunity to shake loose the Progressive strangle hold on Massachusetts. Frankly, Senator Brown was and has been somewhat less than Conservative on most issues. However he certainly doesn’t resemble the (“Liberal” Lion of the Senate) in any way. Truth be told, he is even advertising the fact that he was voted the most “bi-partisan” Senator of the bunch. As I’ve said, I’m all for a little “bi-partisanship” at this juncture, so long as I don’t have to vacate my principles, turn over my guns, and kneel before the corrupt “Whore house Harry Reid”.

Anyway, I read an interesting comment in the Providence Journal recently from Democratic Senatorial Candidate and Brown opponent Elizabeth Warren. I would add here that anyone who doubts this persons Liberal qualifications must be living under a rock. Brown’s “bi-partisanship” aside, Warren makes him look like Barry Goldwater. Nonetheless, I thought it was extremely telling that she was quoted at the “Netroots” Convention recently as having said, “progressives must change the conversation in Washington“. That one stand alone statement reinforces what I’ve consistently espoused concerning the true intent of the Left in this country. It is not about making our free republic better by way of a healthy debate rooted in the content of our nation’s founding documents, but rather it is about (changing) that free republic to a big government, European style entitlement state.

I am asked quite often by Liberals about the title page of my political blog, “For Patriots Only”. It seems they feel I am excluding them from the argument. I tell them simply, the only pre-qualification I have for their comments, (which are Constitutionally protected), is that they love their country for its basic principles as set forth by the Framers, and not forego those principles for the sake of failed ideologies or selfish apathy. Translation: Know your history and learn from it. Do not blame others for your station in this life, but rather use your God-given freedom and talent to succeed. And together let us leave a greater United States of America to our posterity… How’s that for changing the conversation Liz???
