Thank You
Posted on September 13, 2005
I recently recieved an email from one of our supporters. They were concerned that I don’t show enough appreciation to my supporters by linking to them more often. They wondered if all I care about is traffic. That is not the case. Traffic is only an idicator of how much support we have gained, and is by far not the most important thing. What this site started out as, and still is…a grassroots movement.
I know my little blog might not ever actually “stop” the ACLU, and it is often frustrating. I’ve thought about throwing in the towel several times. Despite this, I still hope that we can help make the public aware of the actions of the ACLU and their radical agenda. I hope that one day we can build up enough support, become a non-profit organization, raise enough funds to create national commercials exposing the ACLU, and organize massive marches on ACLU offices. But for now, I have to be content with the little influence that we do have.
The truth is that the time I spend blogging has gotten in the way of my job, and family many times. I can’t blog from work, and after I spend a little time with my family, and do the research and write up my posts, it leaves very little time for me to visit many blogs on my long list of I’d love to visit every single day. I’m sorry about that. I wish I could. I try to visit as many of you as I can. As far as linking to all of you, I have a new idea. I will put together a Stop The ACLU carnival every Friday that links to all the participating blogs from the Thursday blogburst. So don’t post late.
Anyway, the email did make a point in my heart. I don’t express my appreciation for the support enough, and I never will be able to fully express it. Without you all, this movement is nothing. You are the movement. And I do appreciate it. With your help, we have raised $980.00 towards our $2500.00 goal. That is YOUR money going towards a cause YOU believe in, your cause. So, no…I haven’t shown you all the appreciation you deserve.
So, I’m going to start trying to share a few of the best stuff I read around the blogosphere each day. I will try to do better at linking to some of you more often, and thanking you more frequently. I can’t do this without you. So, let me thank each and every one of you right now.
Thank you Raven. Raven runs the blog And Rightly So Her blunt advice of truth sometimes stings, but she’s been a great friend and supporter since I first started. She is currently taking up the noble cause of fighting illegal immigration. She is also a Proud member of the Cotillian, an organized group of female conservative bloggers trying to make a difference. Go here to see some of the good work the Cotillian does. Raven also has a beautiful 9/11 tribute. I don’t know how I missed it.
Thank you Basil for all the linkage. Basil runs a wonderful blog full of linky love everyday. Make sure to check out his Headline News.
Thank you Sondra K. If you haven’t checked out Sondra’s blog it is a definite must. Always fun, and heartfelt. She may have picked the wrong year to stop drinking, but she still knows how to have fun.
Thank you Bob. Not only does Bob contribute here, but runs an awesome blog Sweet Smells of Ammonia. I always find something interesting there and sometimes even a little humorous. We do appreciate all the support Bob. Oh, and Bob…you should get haloscan on your blog so I can send you trackbacks.
Thank you Mr. Minority. You run a thought provoking blog, that I read every chance I get. Stuff like this, warning us of China’s nuclear threat are serious and important, just like your blog. Thank you for all the support.
Thank you NYgirl. You always respond when I request posting about something I think is important and urgent. Indeed no good deed goes unpunished. Thank you for all the support.
Rightfaith is a new member to our blogburst team. He does a great job pointing out the exploitation of my least favorite democrat, and the bias of the MSM. Thank you for all the support.
Ogre, what can I say brother? You do an excellent job keeping tabs on the NC politicians. An excellent job keeping an eye on what our children are being taught, and always have something fun. Thank you for all the advice, and support.
More Sense Than Money. A supporter from the beggining, but a new member of the blogburst. Reluctant to join at first because he didn’t know if he had the time to devote to it weekly, he later joined us when he realized he could just link, or crosspost on Thursdays. Glad to have him. He’s been trading stock over in blogshares on my site for awhile. However, I think Gribbit did a hostile takeover. Thanks to him, I just learned that Friday is a National Day of Prayer. I’m sure that disturbs the ACLU. Thank you Tom for all the support.
Time Hath Found Us not only does a great and consitent job keeping an eye on the ACLU, but also Planned Parenthood. We really appreciate all the support.

I also want to thank some of the bigger blogs that have linked to us, but this post is for us little guys. Remember, that without you, this cause is nothing. Now, I’m sure I left out several of you. I know I didn’t really delve too deep into my left sidebars, but I want you to know that everyone that supports us is appreciated, and I don’t want you to feel left out. So here is what to do…write a post up about what a jerk I am for forgetting to include you. Link it to this post, and send a trackback…it will appear as a link. That way I don’t leave out anyone. Seriously, we do appreciate all the support we get here. Without you all, we are nothing.

Very nice gesture Jay! Thanks for the kind words and keep up the good work.
WOW, this must have taken forever!
Thanks for the nod, Jay, it’s much appreciated!
As GTL says, “Blog ON!”
Thanks Jay for all the efforts you put in, and all the work you do.
Thank you Jay…
Hey thanks for the nod, Jay. I know from doing posts like this in the past that this took alot of time. It’s appreciated.
What a huge round-up; and a very nice gesture. Even if it is, IMHO, unnecessary :).
Thanks!
/TJ
Thanks, Jay for the kind words and for all the work, encouragement and support.
Jay, you’re doing God’s work. I’m only happy to assist, when I can. Perhaps I can write once a week… starting next week that is!
Thanks for the link.
We common sense people have got to stick together. Regardless, thanks for the shout-out. Of course, we are as indebted to you. Humbly, JR.
Thanks Jay!
Thanks for the callout, Jay!
Anyone interested in taking down the ACLU should read this book.
“Bombers, Bolsheviks and Bootleggers” A study in Constitutional Subversion.
From National Review Online, November 2005, November 23, 2005
Reviewer: Noel “ACLU hunter” (Houston, Texas) - See all my reviews
From National Review Online, November 2005:
Leon F. Scully, Jr. was probably the only legal scholar ever to examine the original documents and actual events behind Weeks v. United States and Mapp v. Ohio the Supreme Court cases that gave us the exclusionary rule of evidence and similar court-imposed constraints on law enforcement. The story he tells of collusion, rigged test cases, ACLU conniving, and illegitimate precedents will be of great interest to attorneys, prosecutors, and especially police officers. A short Introduction sets forth the case, with the command of both language and the law that characterizes the entire book.
