ANOTHER REVOLUTION COULD TAKE FIRE IN MASSACHUSETTS TODAY!

Every school child learns where and how the American Revolution began in April 1775 – the "midnight ride" prelude to the Minutemen, some having been felled by "the shot heard ‘round the world," attacking British troops, thereby putting the fat in the fire that burned until the surrender at Yorktown, Virginia over six years later.

Almost 235 years later, another revolution may ignite in Massachusetts. This one, hopefully, will burn for two plus years and result in the end of the Obama agenda and also the political career of both him and his ilk (Pelosi, Hoyer, Frank, Shumer and Reid, to name a few).

Patriots: keep your fingers crossed and your powder dry.

And now a few words from Mr. Longfellow. . .

Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

Brown will win. It's one election not a revolution.
