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.
If I may recommend a video that carries the same tone of our rich history.

That is a dumb reply. I never said anything about any district number. WTF are you talking about. Now go bother someone who cares what you think. Go bother, John Murtha. LOL
It's taken over 200 years to hear a shot heard heard round the world...it might take a little longer for the collective minds and hearts of the world to realize the cruelty of abortion...honest to goodness, you sound like the loon John Salvi...get on board to baby steps and backing our collective Conserative hearts and souls to raise our next generations to see the HUGE MISTAKE OF ROE V WADE...your not the only one that doesn't like it, take a deep breath and be a team member not someone out on their own island with no land in sight.
Please explain.
As long as Brown kills ObamaCare, I’m not interested in his position on abortion. Especially since, as Senator, he’s not likely to have any effect on the practice.
Triage, you repeating monkey.
Stem the gushing blood first, then we'll change the bandages.
.... you reply "Like Martha Coakley, you are a public menace."
Never thought you might be a plant until that very response.
Dude, I will club the little b****d like a baby seal myself and toss it on a barbeque grill, if it stops the Communist / Socialist takeover in its tracks.
Do us all a favor. Just stick your head in the oven, end your misery and your dumb posts.
HA! I totally busted you. You are a Democrat plant after all.
Here, why don't you just see if you can convince a few more people not to vote against Communists in the White House, because they aren't "pure conzervative" enough. LOL!
You are busted. :^O
Conservative Americans across this great land are praying for Scott Brown to win. No amount of “he’s not good enough” will change that.
I would take a RINO who could stop the Healthcare and Obama administration in a minute. Sometimes life isn’t perfect and it requires settling for the lesser of two evils. If you are a Republican and you don’t vote for Scott Brown you are letting this country down and enabling the Socialist Machine that is in power. I agree with the “triage and we’ll change the bandages later” statement.
