Perspective.....

[WheelWalker]

The American Revolution began with the first shots being fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. The militia there were outnumbered and fell back. Other British colonists, hours later at the North Bridge in Concord, fought and defeated three companies of the king's troops in what would be celebrated by Ralph Waldo Emerson in his poem, "Concord Hymn,"

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.

Tonight we have learned that Joe Biden received the votes of less than a thousand patriots.

The number of patriots who stood at the Old North Bridge to deliver a new nation has been estimated to have been around 400.

1. So...the people were either patriots...or...

they have no connection to the outside world, which I highly doubt. :-)

2. Thank you.

Lots happening. Have to think.

'Chris Matthews appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe on the morning of the New Hampshire primary to describe how he expects the Democratic Party establishment to destroy Barack Obama's candidacy and ensure the nomination for Hillary Clinton.

"There's a battle in the Democratic Party between the idealists and the interest groups," Matthews began. "And in the beginning of every Democratic campaign for president, there's an idealist who comes forward ... and they do very well in the first offing. ... And then the interest groups get all called in, the meal tickets, all the people that get something out of the party are bussed in, trucked in from out of town ... and they blow away the idealist."

"It has been done so many times," he continued. "Kill the fire of insurgency. And when that's killed, then you go back to the same old interest group politics."'
