SHAMEFUL
Re: Ben Stein’s Witchcraft’s Candidate:

Ben Stein is, again, spot on about the shameful endorsement by Obama of the reprobate, Martha Coakley. The good news is that as MA voters we received 17 calls urging us to vote: 15 for Brown, 2 for Coakley. She’s done. And none too soon. The system that elevated her remains. Possibly more wary than before, but Coakley won a primary handily: what’s that say about the Democrat party’s core in MA? She’s a true reflection of them. And they are unhinged.

QUAYLING IN HIS BOOTS
Re: Jeffrey Lord’s Is Scott Brown the Next Harris Wofford?

I served with Harris Wofford, I know Harris Wofford, Harris Wofford is a friend of mine. Scott Brown is no Harris Wofford. (Apologies to Lloyd Bentsen).

REPUDIATING THE THUGS
Re: Robert Stacy McCain’s The Scott Heard ‘Round the World:

Whatever the outcome — and I do hope Scott Brown is the new U.S. Senator from Massachusetts — this special election won’t signal a revolution has begun.

It signals the extent to which the revolution has grown and will expand.

It signals that America repudiates Barack Hussein Obama and his thugocracy.

OVERUSING THE WORD
Re: Larry Thornberry’s None Dare Call It Socialism:

“Socialism” is a charge made too often and a lazy short-handed talking point meant to shut down the debate like lib’s use “racist” against conservatives to shut down debate. I say this because it is rarely defined and only political junkies like myself may have a little understanding to the real meaning.

A good example would be Sean Hannity’s man on the street interviews where he uses a line of questioning meant to shame the subject into admitting he/she is a Marxist, socialist supporting Obama-bot. What he rarely does is explain the two different economic models and how Reagan used capitalism to defeat Socialism. Or how freedom is necessary for capitalism to flourish and how Socialism leads to government passing a tax to punish the use of fossil fuels and a credit to use wind power. You don’t even have the freedom to buy…no, make any kind of light bulb you want.

I also feel that the tag “Socialism” is falling short on defining what the lib’s legislative actions expose as they try to justify their parliamentary maneuvering.
