“But Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, ‘Let us go up at once, and occupy it; for we are well able to overcome it.’” (Numbers 13:30)

And, of course, it dovetails nicely with one of my favorite verses, from the mouth of my namesake, Thomas the Apostle. When Lazarus has died and Christ determines to go raise him up, some of the Apostles try to dissuade Him reminding Him that the last time He was in Bethany the people tried to stone Him. He keeps insisting that He’s going until finally…

Thomas, called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with him.” (John 11:16)

And they went.

For now, I’m happy to share the spoils of a secure job that pays well enough.

Hopefully, the debacle of this past election has activated the people. That is how I found Redstate. I believe there are many of us out there who are concerned and want to do something. If supporting individuals like you and Redstate can help, then we are on board.

Thank you for your outstanding diaries and your desire to go further to help our cause.

I truly want to be one of those who “knew you when you were absentee.” Have high hopes for you, Caleb. Let me know where to send it.

Thought I’d include a few more examples of prior work:

Alas, Alas, Our Judgement Cometh … it was fun, but it also shows how to play the game as a conservative on a liberal run media site.

Profiles: Bob Hemenway .. an interview. With funding, an independent blogger can find stories the MSM pass by.

Palin Should Stop Sending Fetuses To War … and of course, exposing the loony left will be a high priority topic.

Thanks!

“Progressive” is the new “sheeple”.

To answer your question, I have one FB page that I use for everything, but my privacy settings are crazy, no one can see tagged pictures or videos of me, and only friends can see my profile. I can, however, be searched for.

This is going to be fun )

Not sure why he did not want that. I’ve had some offers for over a million for it. Some guy who calls himself Seorge Goros. I’m not taking those offers, because you know what they say. Billion is the new Million.

The effort just needs to be organized.

And hopefully one such fund would spawn others.

However I have a suggestion. We should avoid all links to liberal sites as much as possible. I make it a point not to reference forward any cnn,huffpo dailykos etc. I instead search and get reuters / abc / drugereport links. Not always possible but we should do everything to avoid linking to these liberal outposts.

Rooster is right about the need for an anchor on the right. Fox News is not it. Ruppert Murdoch is interested in profits, not ideology. He found a way to profit from the Conservative vacuum in the US, but Fox News is factually fair and balanced, and therefore is no counter to MSNBC. It does seem to almost counter CNN, however, according to people who like CNN. MSNBC is mostly ineffective, anyway. Nobody but the KoolAid drinkers pay any attention to it, so don’t think I’m being critical of Fox News. The best thing they could do for us would be to remain an honest reporter of facts on both sides. That gives them credibility that the leftist press has lost.

Mike’s NYT comment has some potential. Another NewsCorp organ does have a chance to supplant the NYT as a news source amongst the myriad small outlets who aren’t really leftist, they just haven’t had any chance to hear the right side. That organ is the Wall Street Journal. The Journal, if it would convert its news pages to conform to its editorial pages, could be the answer to a source of news to replace the NYT. They are advertising like crazy. I’m about ready to subscribe, myself.

Meanwhile, you are joining some elite company–Thomas Sowell, Rush, George Will, Pat Buchanan, Bill Buckley, Victor Davis Hanson, Bill Whittle (when you can find him), I know I’m leaving out many, including some of the best, but unfortunately the list DOESN’T go on and on. Even I don’t think those names are equally talented, but they all have something to add to the conservative, or at least the intellectual, cause. You now are charged, my son, to go out there and fight and die for… oh, wait minute, let’s not go overboard. Star Wars or an old Bob Steele western this ain’t. (If you write a new Star Wars, cut us in, OK?)

Actually, if you can do half of what you have set out to do, you’ll be a success and someone we’ll be able to tell our grandchildren (if I live that long) “I knew him when!”

In closing (he writes), we have 70 years or more of a national turn to the left to fight. The mass of the MSM is so indoctrinated they think the left knight is in the center of the chess board. We have no conservative George Soros to fund dozens of right-wing front organizations. We have no Kennedy family to disintegrate before our eyes, either.

While you’re out there, make sure to punch the hippies every chance you get. Their mistakes are frequent enough, but we haven’t been taking advantage of their crises as we should. Don’t let them go to waste. And don’t follow the example of Newt Gingrich, who tonight repeated the term “the Bush-Obama bailout plan” or words to that effect. Never, never, NEVER concede an inch. We are far too ready to admit any small failing on our side. MAKE THE LEFTIES FIGHT FOR THOSE ADMISSIONS!

Ah, well, good luck. Break a finger or whatever they say on Fleet Street as a new venture takes the stage.
