A new 90-second video comparing Tuesday's special election in Massachusetts to the American Revolution has gone viral on the Internet. Since it was first introduced five days ago, the video has received more than 170,000 views on YouTube, more than any other video on the election, including one produced by President Obama in support of Martha Coakley. The video highlights the fact that the American Revolution began in Massachusetts in 1775 with the battle of Lexington, where a brave group of Americans fought against a vastly superior tyrannical government to secure their freedom. The video asserts that Massachusetts has one again become a front line in the battle to defend liberty and that Tuesday's election will be a referendum on this question. "I believe this video captures the sentiment of a majority of Americans," said Jeff Davis, the video's producer. "President Obama and the Democratic majority in Congress are intent on advancing their agenda regardless of the will of the people. That is a trait of a tyrannical government which Americans reject, regardless of their party affiliation. Tuesday's election could put a stop to the Obama freight train, including the government takeover of our health care system." Hundreds of comments have been logged on the video's page from individuals across the nation. One commenter recorded, "To all my family and friends in Massachusetts where I was born and raised, now is the time to send a message to the whole world, we the people are still in control and there are still many patriots in the place where the fight for liberty began." Another commenter states, "After 46 years, Massachusetts has the chance to elect a Senator instead of anointing a King."

"Massachussets Miracle"
Mar 27 2010 19:54:46 Regaining our moral compass.
Once upon a time in an era long long ago Democratic leaders enacted social programs that enhanced the lives of all Americans. Flash forward 75 years and once again it took the ideals of Democrats to eliminate the inequities in the America’s health care system. Over Republican objection almost identical to what FDR encountered President Obama and congress achieved what has eluded presidents since Teddy Roosevelt. I was extremely disappointed in right wing constituents and special interest. The Health Care Bill is deficit neutral according to the Congressional Budget Office and the phony lies of deficit spending fall on deft ears when examing the spending habits of Republicans from 1981 to 2009. This legislative battle also reminded me of the Civil Right battle of the 1960’s. The right dug in to deny equality and the left was just as committed to including all in our democracy. The party of no’s hollow protest of loosing individual freedom and states rights was without merit. Republicans say they love America but vote as if they hate Americans I rarely see them help the working class. They practice hypocrisy on a grand scale. Yesterday they cut unemployment and COBRA insurance for the unemployed in retaliation for the Democratic HCB. Does anyone need additional proof that Republicans work for Corporate America? |
