Blue to Red

A powerful message

Instead of crashing when I got home last night from an extremely long City Commission Meeting (5.5 hours), I stayed up for the news to see the count on the Scott Brown victory in Massachusetts. This was amazing. I never thought I would see the day when a Republican in the most liberal State in the U.S. would win. What does this all mean?

Ever since the Democratic Party has swung to the far left, literally millions of us have been out in the cold (swiped the “out in the cold” expression from our Mayor). We have seen our national debt soar. We have witnessed the give-a-aways. We have endured Nancy Pelosi.

The Stimulus that was put into effect was to create jobs and didn’t. The government rewarded failure and punished success. We have not seen any attempt to tighten security until some idiot tried to blow up an airplane. Our borders are still being invaded. We have a health-care plan in front of us that the majority of people do NOT want nor do they think they can afford. We have a Democratic Party trying to push it through and it says that it will give us a fine if we DON’T buy it. The people have not been taken seriously and their concerns ignored.

What used to be liberal thinking has changed, almost overnight, to far left winged “progressive”and what I continue to call, Socialistic thinking. We ask what in the hell happened to our country? Glenn Beck says that the “progressives” are sucking the life blood out of the Republic; their playbook is to “lie, cheat and steal.” This is an exaggeration of the problem but it depicts our discontent. It is also why so many in the City of Lake Worth are worried. The "Progressives" have taken over and many do not know how our City will end up.

What it all says to me is that people loved Ted Kennedy no matter what. They forgave him his sins and loved him inspite of them. They loved the family starting with our slain President, John F. Kennedy and the entire family was revered. This was their "first family" and their loyalty to this family was resolute. Yesterday they told the country that they did not love the liberalism that had gotten out of control.

37 Democratic seats will be coming up. Will this trend continue?
