This weblog commenced operations on 4 May 2004.  I thank you for reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

My pledge: You will never see advertising on this site.  You will never see anything that jumps around in your visual field.  I will not beg for money with a 'tip jar.'  This is a labor of love and I prize my independence.<\/span><\/p>\n

I also pledge to continue the fight, day by day, month by month, year by year, against the hate-America, race-baiting, religion-bashing, liberty-destroying, gun-grabbing, lying fascists of the Left.  As long as health and eyesight hold out.<\/span><\/p>\n

I will not pander to anyone, least of all the politically correct.<\/span><\/p>\n

And I won't back down<\/a>.  Are you with me?<\/span><\/p>\n

Addenda<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Philosopher TB writes, "I\u2019m with you, man!  I\u2019ve learned a good deal from your blog, and, what\u2019s better, you inspire me to be a better person.  I\u2019ve only been following for about a year, but it was a great year of blogging."<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

JC writes, "<\/span>Congratulations on ten years of fighting leftist nonsense! If you're interested in reading some history dealing with leftist delusions I recommend Simon Schama's Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution<\/a>. I also recommend this excellent docudrama on the French Revolution: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-SP4iii_THQ<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I also cannot recommend enough Martin Malia's The Soviet Tragedy: A History of Socialism in Russia<\/a>, 1917-199.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The Johnny Cash version<\/a> of "I Won't Back Down."  <\/span><\/div>\n

TC writes, "Congratulations on celebrating 10 years in the Blog world.  It appears that you are attracting and interacting with some first rate minds and providing a great service to the public.  I hope that some of your correspondents who are still in the academic world or in other positions in which they might be able to influence people are recommending your page. Congrats again and keep up the great work!"<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
