While basking in the contentment of Scott Brown’s Massachusetts Senate victory it didn’t take long to be rocked into reality by a senseless article that showed up as a top story from CNN on my mobile phone. The article was written by CNN’s political editor Mark Preston who shared his
analysis of the change in political narrative for 2010 as a result of the history that was made by Scott Brown’s win. I found the article exasperating because even after more than a year of Tea Party activity ignored, mocked, and worst of all disrespected, even the crowning event of Scott Brown’s election did not pay proper homage to the efforts of millions of Americans. I decided to react by expressing myself in the most therapeutic way for me, by writing. I thought to myself, ok settle down and get a cup of coffee, because as angry as I am my frustration will come out as a string of expletive deletives towards this hack at CNN, thus more on this feeble attempt at an analysis in a bit.
Collecting in my mind some of the disappointments I’ve felt over disparaging comments and dismissal of "We the people" I have witnessed over this past year have to come from one of the most vile creatures to contaminate the air waves, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. He truly outdid himself the other day in his vitriol
assessment of Scott Brown. Over this past year no reference has offended me more than the use of the word "teabagging". Coming from the mouth of Olbermann should be no surprise though because his constant reference to it would indicate that he is the quintessential expert on the practice. Then we have the President of (the Liberal Democratic Progressive movement) America pounding out his typical rhetoric as the bipartisanship guru of all times mocking the Tea Party Movement. Then the "Queen of elitists" who personifies the reason why America is failing puts her two cents in about the validity of the Tea Party protests. The assault on the Tea Party Movement by our current administration continues to fan the flames of a growing blaze that will not be extinguished.
If Mark Preston at CNN is the best political expert they have it is no wonder they are failing. His analysis is so far off the mark that he is probably suppressing talent that work under his tutelage that see reality beyond his ideology. The analysis of sorts smacked of being from a Democratic viewpoint and took no direction from a neutral perspective. The leading indicator in the direction of this analysis came from an interview with New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley. He was quoted as writing, "Over the past few weeks, RADICAL RIGHT-WINGED activists turned Massachusetts into ground zero for the Tea Party movement and we saw a taste of what’s to come in 2010." So now we are to assume that radical right-winged activist over night transformed more than a million independent thinking Massachusetts voters into a radical right-wing machine. To think there is any outside force capable of changing the minds of one of the most independently liberal thinking Democratic states is laughable. Any credible analyst would have at least made mention of, how preposterous that notion is, without giving some credibility to the Massachusetts voter for being upset with the direction this administration and our country is going.
Mr. Preston and his anonymous Democratic operative and staffer who contributed to this factual packed analysis give way too much credit to the GOP for anything that happened in Massachusetts. News flash from the Tea Party Movement, one year later the Republican Party continues to be "disoriented, disorganized and disillusioned." The GOP was slow to jump on the bandwagon in support of Scott Brown, "we the people" and more exact the voters of Massachusetts are the true motivating forces behind this succinct message to Washington D.C. No matter what side of the aisle you are on, you better start listening to the will of the people or we will crush you!
The huge difference in the political narrative for the next three years is not how the Democratic or Republican parties can strengthen but rather how America can strengthen and regain the sovereignty and freedoms it has been stripped of by both parties. By the way Mr. Preston, with all due respect for the dead, I believe Kennedy took his seat with him! If you are referring to the once empty Senate seat "We the people" decided to let Scott Brown sit in it for awhile and do Massachusetts proud.
