Brown is no Sam Adams but…

Sam Adams was an agitator, and influential in the original tea party that sparked the American Revolution, and in some ways the Brown campaign for the senate seat in Massachusetts (notice I can spell Massachusetts; twice) is resulting in a similar outcome. The oppression of an over reaching central authority has Massachusetts voters considering an action that will send a message to the “king”, President Obama, that his heavy hand has gone too far. The voters are not throwing tea over board, they are throwing the Democratic Party and socialism overboard by supporting a candidate that has promised to stop healthcare. By sending Brown to DC, Massachusetts voters will have stopped the healthcare takeover and will be sending a stern message that America and Massachusetts still harbor the spirit of Sam Adams and our founding fathers.

Having lived in MA for nearly fifteen years as a Republican I can tell you, this is huge that the seat formerly held by the Grand Poobah of healthcare, socialism, and big government, has a remote possibility of falling into republican hands. I campaigned against Ted Kennedy during the 96 senate run supporting Mitt Romney, and I can tell you Ted Kennedy’s supporters were rabidly socialist.

It could be that MA has a healthcare plan and doesn’t want to pay for a federal plan as well. But I think it is more about a revolution against big intrusive centralized government. It may also be that the spirit of Sam Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and Elbridge Gerry, is watching over the future of the great state of Massachusetts and our great nation. After all they did believe in divine providence and were willing to die to achieve freedom from over reaching government. I’m betting that these founders have something to do with this latest battle for freedom…
