In 1837 Ralph Waldo Emerson penned the Concord Hymn that described the impact of the battle at Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775. The words the shot heard round the world are meant to emphasize that a critical event happened at this location that triggered something of global importance.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to Aprils breeze unfurled; Here once the embattled farmers stood, And fired the shot heard round the world.
This week another shot was heard around the world.
Scott Brown and the citizens of Massachusetts let the world know that The People have had enough of the politics of destruction, entitlement, blame and corruption coming from Washington DC.
Scott Brown released this terrific video today of his walk through Boston with Rudy Giuliani. It was a beautiful day in historic Boston:
During the walk in Boston one of Browns supporters said, This is the shot heard round the world.
Yes it is.
Another reader wrote today asking, Are we witnessing the New Paul Revere?
Its historic, thats for sure.
LOL .. he’s a piece of work ...
I like my account here.
LOL!
Yes.
Do you?
This is beginning to make sense. He's been showing up on one Brown thread after another, savagely attacking Brown but hardly ever criticizing Coakley. Could this be a "black" propaganda operation from the other side designed to sow dissent among conservatives?
GUESS WHAT??? My Sister-in-law has changed her mind and told me she is going to vote for Brown..just last week she was going to vote for Martha!!! She doesn’t like the dirty campaigning and she doesn’t like the Kennedy machine stepping in. This is huge... she is the typical moderate Dem voter in Massachussetts. She’s actually kinda excited about it!
Like Martha Coakley, you are a public menace.
If that is I think it is we used to watch him in the control room deep in Southy, that was a Boston Accent, Eh.
BLESSINGS!
Miracles happen and they start with small miracles like you SIL changing her mind!!!!!
How on earth did Kennedy keep winning in that State?
The blind leading the blind. Carry on.
Are
Eeyore
(Sigh) I’m afraid you’re right. What worries me most about RINOs is that they always want to “reach across the aisle”, get their hand cut off, and finally give in to the RATS a la McShame. I always think of the GOP as the Gutless Old Party. Republicans are not aware that they are at WAR with the opposition.
Note the screen name. If the bad guys wanted to infiltrate a conservative web site, it would be hard to pick a handle more appealing to the target audience than "Reagan Man."
No, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but one must remember that the Left is pulling out all the stops to keep this Senate seat.
This was, believe it or not, told to me by an Irish Hack Pol of high degree.
That is exactly what I was thinking. I believe he has blown his cover this time.
if you live in Massachusetts, or if you know anybody who lives in Massachusetts, please, convince them to get out and vote for Scott Brown. I know there are some who disagree with him on certain issues, but the implications of a GOP victory in this race far outweigh issue politics.
Reagan Man is trying to depress conservative turnout.
At a minimum, he should change to Reagan Democrat.
The American Revolutionary War began in Massachusetts with the Battles of Lexington and Concord, on April 19th, 1775. Following what Emerson referred to as the Shot heard round the world, a small fledgling colony stood up against the tyranny of the greatest military force on earth And won. Great men and women stood up in perilous times and prevailed against what appeared to be unconquerable odds. Some have referred to the present day as perilous times, and once again the people of Massachusetts have an opportunity to set into motion a political revolution.
I have no idea. I only lived there for one semester decades ago and I've never returned.
