In 1837 Ralph Waldo Emerson penned the “Concord Hymn” that described the impact of the battle at Old North Bridge in Concord, Massachusetts, on April 19, 1775. The words “the shot heard round the world” are meant to emphasize that a critical event happened at this location that triggered something of global importance.
“By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard ’round the world.”
This week another shot was heard around the world.
Scott Brown and the citizens of Massachusetts let the world know that The People have had enough of the politics of destruction, entitlement, blame and corruption coming from Washington DC.
Scott Brown released this terrific video today of his walk through Boston with Rudy Giuliani.
It was a beautiful day in historic Boston:
During the walk in Boston one of Brown’s supporters said, “This is the shot heard round the world.”
Yes it is.
Another reader wrote today asking, “Are we witnessing the New Paul Revere?”
It’s historic, that’s for sure.
More… Likely voters in Massachusetts oppose ObamaCare by a 15% margin.

How many racists are there in Massachussettes?
Who are the Amirault’s going to vote for?
At least Martha didn’t say (she was thinking it!), “Catholics are more dangerous than jihadis.” Well, Martha, we are. We’re more dangerous to your hateful ideas and destructive policies, and your (and Obama’s) chances to lord it over us “little people.”
You shall see on Tuesday.

We’re counting on the good citizens of Massachusetts to help us begin to take back America.
Your hour is here. God bless you, Patriots!

Mark Steyn: Can Obama hold Teddy’s seat?
I’ve been out of the country for a couple of days, so let me see if I’ve got this right: America’s preparing to celebrate the first anniversary of Good King Barack the Hopeychanger’s reign by electing a Republican?
In Massachusetts?
In what the tin-eared plonkers of the Democrat machine still insist on calling “Ted Kennedy’s seat”?
Remember the good old days when the glossy magazine covers competed for the most worshipful image of the new global colossus? If you were at the Hopeychange inaugural ball on Jan. 20, 2009, when Barney Frank dived into the mosh pit, and you chanced to be underneath when he landed, and you’ve spent the past year in a coma, you must surely wonder if you’ve woken up in an alternative universe. The last thing you remember before Barney came flying down is Harry Reid waltzing you round the floor while murmuring sweet nothings about America being ready for a light-skinned brown man with no trace of a Negro dialect. And now you’re in some dystopian nightmare where Massachusetts is ready for a nude-skinned Brown man with no trace of a Kennedy dialect.
How can this be happening?

Many of the Continental Army soldiers who marched next to Washington did so without boots–they had rags wraped around their feet. Would you have marched in his Army?
FLY NAVY !
Jimmy commented:
Great video.
Tuesday, Jan.19 it will be, “the Scott heard round the world”
From Cape Cod to California, we’re with you.
Go Scott Brown!

The British commander: “Lay down your arms!Surrender, you damn rebels!”
Captain Parker: “Hold your ground men, don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war let it begin here!”

An election for the ages? Absolutely, no matter what the outcome. Proof positive that the power belongs to the PEOPLE, not the chosen, blue-blooded few, but ALL of the people.
Over the past month or so we’ve learned things about these candidates that make the differences between them perfectly clear. It’s a shame we didn’t have this kind of background on the man who 53 million Americans took a chance on last November.
How’s that working out for y’all?
TaSS commented:
The shot heard round the world.
Wasn’t that a home run by the Yankees to eliminate the Red Sox from the world series?
Nah, just kidding my good friends up in Boston.
You started the american revolution and we are once again looking to you to fire that first shot.
Dell commented:
TaSS, for a Brown victory I’d even forgive Bucky Dent and Bill Buckner, both! Hell, I’d wear a “NY” hat all season long!
Do you have any idea how difficult that would be for a life-long Red Sox fan to do???
TaSS commented:
Dell,
About as difficult as someone who grew up in the bleachers of Yankee stadium to wear a Red Sox hat but if you fire the first shot on Tuesday, I’d do it in a NY minute (maybe for a day, let’s not get crazy) to pay homage to the people of MA.
TaSS commented:
btw Dell,
You hear Martha dismiss Rudy as a Yankee fan (rightly so) but did you hear her dismiss Curt Schilling as another Yankee fan?
Who would have thunk it?>lol
Dell commented:
“did you hear her dismiss Curt Schilling as another Yankee fan?”
I read all about it over at “ace’s” blog and are they ever drilling her to the wall on that one!
Curt must have spit beer all over his monitor when he heard that one.
John in the Land of Loui commented:
Scott’s clearly trying to set himself apart by walking around the town with the old Republican retards.
If I was advising Brown, I would have campaigned sans Rudy.
wanumba commented:
Brown is a superb campaigner. Wow. He’s on the street surrounded by people, his ads are all positive, positive, and are being cranked out daily! Outstanding media crew. No gloomy shadows and ominous music for this guy, it’s cheerful confidence.
Rob De Witt commented:
“I’m a life-long Democrat, registered Independent, but I always vote the person and not the party.”
I’m beginning to understand how Kennedys, Kerrys, and the likes of Barney Frank remain in office in Massachusetts…
PJ commented:
The Second American Revolution has just begun.
This is the beginning of the end of New Dealism.
Power to the People!
