Brown 52% Coakley 47%...But Will Dem Crooks Cheat?
Martha Coakley just conceded. There is a breath of fresh air tonight, after less than a year of Obamanable government. I'm listening to Sean on Fox for the first time since November and felt that light relief when spring sets in and the snow melts. Actually, we're having a thaw in the Catskills this week too, so maybe we're having an early spring. There's slush all over the place, and Scott Brown won. Yay! Several Democrats in a Fox focus group voted for Brown. They are saying the reasons are health care and government overspending.
After the fact, I'm not surprised at Brown's win. Since I noticed the 2:1 Wall Street donation rate to Obama and the bailout became an issue before the 2008 election, I suspected that Obama's only purpose was to put through the bailout and TARP. He did that and then some, and has been backing Ben Bernanke and the Fed every step of the way. Thus, he has fulfilled his mission on behalf of the Wall Street-Military-Industrial Complex. I told Glenda McGee just a few weeks ago that health care and cap and trade would not pass. I still might have been wrong, but it looks like I wasn't.
Three questions for tonight, one you'll hear on Fox, the other two you won't. First, will the Democrats cheat and delay Brown's swearing in? When Kennedy was elected for the first time the swearing in took one day, according to an announcer on Fox this afternoon. Many of the Democrats in the focus group say that they oppose any delay. If the Democrats act like crooks, they will alienate even more Americans.
Second, and you won't hear this on Fox, I'm not convinced that Scott Brown represents anything other than a reassertion of the status quo, specifically, the big government stasis that has dominated America since the 1960s. I hope he'll prove me wrong. But the fundamental confusion about where the country is going may not have changed. Has it?
Third, and confirming the second point, a large percentage of the Democrats still conceptualize the status quo as "centrist". The status quo is not centrist, it is extremist and socialist. America now is a national socialist state. It is not centrist. It is extremely troubling that many Democrats think that it is.
The Democrats in Congress still may force the health care bill through. If so, they are fools. If health care passes, there will be considerable damage to the economy. Cap and trade, which hopefully will die no matter what, is like a sledge hammer to the real economy. Now it is unlikely to gain traction. The Democrats' forcing health reform will do short term damage. Longer term, though, the Democratic extremists (who call themselves centrists) would be banished for decades.
But would the health care bill be repealed under a future Republican majority? The Republicans have a consistent strike-out record with respect to repeal of failed socialist regulation and spending schemes. Does the election of Brown mean this will change, or do Progressives like Newt Gingrich and John McCain still control the GOP?

Letter to Nobel Peace Prize Commitee Suggesting Liquidation of Nobel Prize Endowment
PO Box 130
West Shokan, NY 12494, USA
January 19, 2010
Thorbjørn Jagland
Chair, Nobel Prize Committee
Secretary-general Council of Europe
Henrik Ibsens gate 51
0255 OSLO Norway
Dear Mr. Jagland:
The current tragedy in Haiti, involving the death of 200,000 human beings, calls for a new policy on the part of the Nobel Peace Prize Committee. I urge you to liquidate the Peace Prize endowment and donate it to the Haitian relief effort.
The recent awards of the Peace Prize to Barack Obama in 2009 and to Al Gore in 2007 suggest a failure of imagination. You lack the intellectual and moral competence to award a peace prize, preferring to involve yourselves in American partisan politics, concerning which you are as destructive as were the Swedes in the 1930s and 1940s, who although claiming neutrality, backed the Nazis. The Swedes' most famous intellectual, the national socialist Gunnar Myrdal, was an open backer of Hitler in the 1930s.
Last year, you awarded your prize to a cheap, socialist Chicago politician while he was escalating the war in Afghanistan and re-appointing George W. Bush's defense secretary. But this gaffe followed on the heels of an even worse absurdity: your 2007 award to Al Gore, who has been involved in corrupt self-dealing with respect to cap and trade and other environmental proposals and who has based his anti-scientific arguments on falsified research (as evidenced by internal e-mails now made public).
It is apparent from the Gore and Obama fiascoes that you lack the moral wisdom and the intellectual competence to award a peace prize.
The people of Haitia are suffering. You have used the peace prize to feather Scandinavia's reactionary, socialist self-image rather than to further peace. I urge you to liquidate the endowment and provide Haiti with meaningful aid.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.
