My dear, loyal, wonderful readers, today we have reached
a momentous milestone; we have been meeting here at this
online site for ten years to absorb, examine, and discuss
the political and economic news of the day, to discern
the heroes, the heels, those who made things happen,
those who watched things happen, and those who wondered
what the hell happened. The good, the bad, and the ugly
(apologies to Clint Eastwood), the innocent and the guilty.
The effects of the actions taken by the players in the political
arena and the good (or bad) they have wrought. Recognizing
the stars in the conservative movement, both those established
in our firmament and those on the rise. Bidding farewell to
those who left the arena and the world, having helped to
make both better for their having been in them. And certainly
taking time to count our blessings from living in the most
free, the most prosperous, the most welcoming, the most
opportunity affording, the most wonderful country on the
face of the earth --- the United States of America.
When your faithful Peasant began this blog on September 23,
2009, it was for these purposes: to draw attention to stories
from the realms of politics and economics which the lamestream
media either gave little space or air time to, or ignored altogether,
and to rally conservatives around to this blog so as to give them
a place to visit to see these stories presented, and to be done in
a way which doesn't pussyfoot about playing at diplomacy and
niceties, rather getting straight to the heart of the matter and
calling a spade a spade. Your favorite Peasant has endeavored to
state some things in a way that many of you would state yourselves
and do when you are discussing these stories at your dining room
tables, in your local barber shops, at your golf courses, in your
offices, or in your backyards while hosting cookouts. These are
my personal objectives in publishing this very blog, as well as
to give you, my fellow conservatives comfort, succor, humor,
and good cheer, especially at times when we seem to see our
political fortunes slipping away, or at least stymied and stalled.
Always bear in mind, my friends: A war is made up of many
battles, some will be won, some lost. But as long as we do not
tire from the efforts to secure victory, do not lose faith in our-
selves nor our confidence in our ability to keep the pressure
on the enemy, and stay true to our bedrock values which
are the base for our beliefs, we shall gain the victory.
And now we gear up for another ten years (and hopefully many
more after that!) of our vitally important work of defending our
country and our way of life, meeting here each week to study
the relevant topics of the moment and figure out the best way
forward, and having a little levity to lighten our spirits and
indulge in laughter now and then. Think of this blog as being
akin to a USO canteen for weary soldiers, sailors, marines
and airmen; for we are the very warriors who without pause
are fighting to preserve everything we have, cherish and enjoy
as Americans, and to pass it forward to the coming generations.
Your grateful Peasant wishes you, my grand readers and friends,
God's blessings on you and your families. Thank you for your
steadfast support and your wonderful company. And God bless
America!
