"Tea" (bag) Anyone? Massachusetts finds its Patriot Soul

Why are Conservatives so much better looking than lefties?  (Palin?  Brown?  Kennedy?  Reagan?)   I forgot to add a couple more good looking Conservatives to my blog...

It is with great joy that we find the Bay State of Massachusetts coming to it's senses and voting for real change, not theatrical change.  Is there any irony that Scott Brown won Barney Frank's district?  Is there any irony to be found in the fact that the BOSTON tea party took place in that very harbor and the lefties are making fun of the founders of our Country who sponsored that very tea party -     
doesn't that make our Country's Founders the party of the 'tea bag?' 

The Boston Tea Party was a direct action by colonists in Boston, a town in the British colony of Massachusetts, against the British government. On December 16, 1773, after officials in Boston refused to return three shiploads of taxed tea to Britain, a group of colonists boarded the ships and destroyed the tea by throwing it into Boston Harbor. The incident remains an iconic event of American history, and reference is often made to it in other political protests. 
So let's put this into present day context.  The brilliant Americans in Massachusetts, following the actions of their forefathers who ran away from these foreign, socialist countries where healthcare will get you killed, took direct action on 19 January 2010 against a leftist government and the most useless congress in U.S. history to throw their anti-American agenda into Boston Harbor.  That took guts.

I have experience with socialist, government run health care.  My good friend Father Joe Fluery, who had a small cottage overlooking the Adriatic Sea, came home one evening and the lights were off.  He had a very large glass door (not the falling apart kind of shattering glass), and tripped over a bolt that was on the porch of the apartment and fell into the glass door.  He got a gash in his leg that just about took it off.  He was rushed to a government run, socialist Italian hospital - the country has the kind of healthcare Reid and Pelosi want you to have but not for themselves - where they proceeded to sew up the wound.  Now before you say, "what a great thing they did, sewing him up for no cost, that is a government that 'cares,'" let me tell you that they sewed him up with NO ANESTHESIA.  That's right!  No pain killers!  He almost died on that table from shock because ANESTHESIA was (too costly)!  Not one person in the United States this very day would ever have that happen to them.  What happened later?  He was stuck in a room where he was given almost nothing to eat (too costly), given almost no pain medicine (too costly).  One night while he lay awake some thugs from Naples came in to beat up his roommate who apparently was a drug dealer and Father Joe had to beat them off with the cane they gave him.  Security for the government run hospital was (too costly). 
What benefit would government run healthcare provide?  NONE!  And Massachusetts figured that out.  They finally got their Patriot Soul back from our Founding Fathers. 

The boys on the porch in the picture for this blog were farm boys who if you look at the picture didn't have a whole lot going for them and not alot to wear.  Their skin color didn't matter, they're work ethic did.  They decided to not commit crimes, not do drugs, and work for their health insurance.  And every single American has that right. 
Way to go Massachusetts!  Way to go Senator Scott Brown - now on to the Presidency...
