(RS:Help 4.0) ….. lists links here-in last updated: August 2009….
The “I’ve been here, jump directly to updated (by Category) links Section” link

Some Diary entries get lost in the shuffle, IMO. Some days the number of entries trickle and other days they FLOOD and good stuff gets pushed off the page, sometimes in less than 8-12 hours. I hope you’ll consider reviewing some of these (in the Issues specific labeled area) that I thought worthy of note (alot more also are worthy, some I enjoyed but can’t find off-hand to link them now and probably still many more that may not have ever been seen) as well as mine from the last few months below. There are great ones in the RECOMMENDED box on the Front Page, obviously, all worthy of reading, this is meant to point out some you won’t find there (yet?) and some that were in the RECO list but valid far beyond their time there and worthy of revisiting. Feel free to add some Posts here to make the case for Diaries or Posts (your own or others) that may have also already rolled off the “Recommended,” “Members Diaries,” and/or “Front Page.” Though Front Page ones kinda already had a big chance at exposure, some may be worthy of being revisited, let me (us) all know…

Most of these focus on arguments against the Obamabots (Trolls/Mobies) roaming around and deal with ISSUES of the campaign. Obviously, I hope you’ll be so kind as to check out mine (Many Thanks to those of you that have stopped by and read and/or Recommended some of mine already and/or take the time to do so now):

NOTE: Since the site upgrade some directories have changed and therefore some of the links broken here and/or in other Diaries… I’m working on them as best I can to get them functional again. So, my apologies if some aren’t working still/yet! The issue is often if the word “diaries” is present, and some with issue having or missing an “archives” directory (just so you know, so you can trying correcting them yourselves as you come across them here or anywhere else across the Red State pages).

KEEP HOPE ALIVE! Oops, I meant: KEEP LINKS ALIVE… lol

Actually, I’m going to throw in here some favorite RedState Quotes (some with links to where they were said):
