The Second American Revolution

Submitted by Ron Theriault (Rumford, Maine)

On April 19th 1775, in the Colony of Massachusetts, common Americans took up arms and started the First American Revolution to gain their freedom from a repressive Government with the shot that was heard around the world. Today, January 19th, 2010, the common folks of Massachusetts have fired the first shot of the Second American Revolution that now aims to shake off our own repressive Government and it too will be heard around the world. Americans do not submit to oppressive Governments either foriegn or domestic.

In a state where all major offices are held by Democrats, Massachusetts voters have sent a strong message to Washington by electing Republican Scott Brown by over 100,000 votes. Despite what the pundits have to say, this race was indeed a reflection of voter anger against President Obama as he continues to ignore the citizens of this country and continues his Socialist agenda. This election will add fuel to the Tea Party Express and other conservative groups as we head to the Mid-term elections of November.

It is at their own peril that candidates ignore the anger of the common voters and the dedication of the grass roots efforts to turn our country back to position of social conservatism, fiscal responsibility and Judeo-Christian social values. We are not the country that will stand by while Federal Laws disadvantage our elderly at the later stages of their lives. We will not blindly follow the insensitivity of killing our yet to be born citizens all in the name of Socialism. We will respect the men and women of our military and their proud history of securing freedom not only for ourselves, but for the world. No more apologizing for being the rescuer of the world, no more apologizing for being the best country in the world. We can now start the course to bring this country back to a fiscally strong, morally correct beacon of hope for everyone around the globe.

God Bless America
