Monday.....Miscellaneous.....And miles to go before I sleep

I don't think that I have ever heard Rush Limbaugh so giddy. He was playing patriotic music throughout the show in anticipation of tonight's senate election in Massachusetts. Every other conservative radio talk show host that I tuned in was in the same celebratory mode. Friends are thrilled that Massachusetts has elected its first Republican Senator since 1953. The word miracle is being used. It indeed was big news. Scott Brown played a big part in this day's events but the sudden deflating of the Democratic Party started months ago. It has been my position that President Obama will have trouble making it through the primaries in 2012. He still has his supporters but the American people now know very well that his agenda has proven to be dizzying in its radicalism. He probably has one year left with the House of Representatives in his corner, and two plus months after the election but before the swearing in of the 112th Congress, during which time we may have to contend with the power of the executive order. Scott Brown has impressive credentials but we are making a hero out of him, a hero that we may have to contend with one day, for he has given us a warning...he's an independent thinker, indeed he campaigned on this sobriquet. To use a theological analogy; we all have free will but that free will is dependent upon a fallen nature. We revere our Declaration of Independence which is dependent upon the Constitution it foreshadowed. We are all independent thinkers who are dependent upon our convictions. The indicatives of our convictions steer the imperatives of our independence. Winning back the Congress and the White House, is a goal, not a panacea, and if we have not learned anything through the disasters from disunity of convictions, we will indeed repeat them, mistake for mistake. The Democrat's celebration over last year's election lasted for many months, but someone left the cake out in the rain and they'll never have that recipe again. So, yes, lets go ahead and enjoy the 41st Republican vote in the Senate but let's also consider the words of Robert Frost in, Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening:

The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
