True patriots embrace dissention?
I thought anarchists embrace dissention.
I’m as enthused about Brown’s win in deep blue Massachusets as anyone else, and am pleased to have done my small part by plunking down a C-note to his campaign. But remember: he’s a New England Republican. While I don’t think he’ll be as bad as some of them, remember the northeast is the land of Lowell Weicker, Lincoln Chafee, Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, and Jumpin’ Jim Jeffords. I expect Brown will occasionally disappoint some of the more conservative purists who are currently gushing, although he will be the darling of the Frums and the Brooks of the right. But overall, it’s good to have and R-MA following the name of a United States Senator for the first time in many decades.
