Brown

Not long ago Scott Brown ran for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Ted Kennedy here in Massachusetts. Brown, former nude model and attorney, ran as a self-righteous Tea Party candidate. He touted his poor childhood on welfare and then proudly decried government assistance for those who are now in the circumstances of his own youth. He puffed up his chest in a military uniform, looking the male model indeed. He drove an ingenuous pickup truck across the state. Scott's pickup truck was a Trojan horse, and he used it to get past the gates of an established Democrat state establishment.  

Well, Scott Brown didn't get reelected. This certainly raised my esteem for my fellow Massachusetts voters. And this week I was reminded why I dislike what Scott Brown represents. 

On September 10, The Boston Globe reported that ex-Senator Brown has taken a job advising a Florida weapons manufacturer. This firm also specializes in foreign intelligence. I'm sure it is only foreign, aren't you? The word "Fascist" is indeed overused, but a Fascist supports the combination of government, industry and military to achieve its goals of government control of the individual for some greater purpose. By all measures, Mr. Brown now meets that criteria.
