I had the pleasure of reading about RedState and one of my top 5 diarist here…the irrepressible gamecock. The article also chats with a Redstate front pager Soren Dayton and it was exciting to put faces to names.
If you have spent anytime here you know if a diary is coming from gamecock it is first off intellectually stimulating but it is usually provocative and makes you think and isn’t that exactly what conservative sites are all about?
RedState took me by surprise when I found it…no cussing…that was a tough one 
BUT in that 1.5 years here with the help of gamecock and others I have been able to put aside a lot of anger and argue with calmness and most importantly sense and that is how WE will win the day……do not get me wrong here, I get pretty darn fired up when it comes to our BELOVED Military and that won’t change no matter what site I hit.
So with great anticipation that I know you all have to read about gamecock…..here it is!
PBS talks with gamecock and Soren and about the best RIGHT site on the web RedState!

“God is great, beer is good and people are crazy.”- Billy Currington
“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.” Calvin Coolidge.

Proud of ya’, Gamecock. Well-deserved recognition for you and RS.

Vote Now in this PBS Poll!
Soulsamurai Thursday, October 23rd at 12:01PM EST (link)PBS has an online poll posted, asking if Sarah Palin is qualified.
The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters in swing states.
Please do two things — takes 20 seconds.
1) Click on link and vote YES!
Here’s the link:
PBS Sarah Palin Poll
2) Then send this to every McCain-Palin supporter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on.
This morning the poll was nearly 50-50. The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers don’t think Sarah Palin is qualified.

Funny, I was starting to forget that PBS exists…now they get a little credibility back for covering our world with a little bit of respect.
Thanks for the heads-up, Jaded, and well done, gentlemen!

Shaggy_Dog (Diary) Friday, October 24th at 12:31PM EST (link)My mental image of Gamecock had previously been something along the lines of Col. Sanders crossed with Yosemite Sam.
Now seeing the picture of him as a normal looking guy is actually a little anticlimactic.
My liberal friends now think I am somebody! - nt
