Why? Because I don’t have the time. That’s why all my columns convey all relevant facts within my columns. All links are for supplemental purposes for geeks that have the time.

Therefore, I am the voice for the average person and I am above average.

The column should not require additional clicks to get the point across.

One of the main points that underlay my point is that we win mainly via substance on issues, and not procedure. This is inherent in conservatism.

Don’t get me wrong via procedure. I’m all for it. But columns that home to convey the overall message, not to mention the details in the weeds, must convey enough info in the main column to propel additional clicks.

I used to have the time and did click, click, click

But I don’t now, and I think I have stumbled into a truth that we all need to internalize. The 24 hour day can’t be repealed with any technology and, I was confronted with this fact by others wiser than me for the past two years. Technology like Twitter is important, but mostly near the end of campaigns.

What others tried to explain to me for years but that only saw after being wrong in my optimism is that the swing voters are can only be reached with this type of technology near the end but that we can reach them in the other 20 months between elections by having elected repubs make the substantive arguements against the left in public, esp on TV. They must be emboldened not to fear the drive bys.

That means that our role as internet geeks is to boldly take on the msm pc police to give support to elected repubs that fear the msm.

that means that we don’t write columns that mimic the left and their msm conventional wisdon memes

that is all we can do

If it is “blissful silence” that you got from him, I think you should have put “friend” in quotes!
LOL

Thanks for taking your valuable time copying and pasting the question I could have seen hours ago by making one click, but instead wrote about 10 comments here to complain about not having time to click.

Now, could you go register for me and vote yes for me? I just don’t have the time to make all those darn clicks. And my time is valuable, man!

I will write back 6 more times to remind you, so you have a little time to get it all done for me.

…aaaarrrgh… get OUT of me ghost of Mike DeVine.

That columns should that want to make a point should not require clicks down a rat hole

After reading yours and MathMom’s responses, I thought I’d try a 3rd time. Again, the result was the same as I posted before.

Jsut so you know, I’m no amateur to the internet. I’m no html expert but I do I have two of my very own websites and I currently post and have posted in many, many forums over the years. In other words, I’ve done this before.

The site Erick provides above simply won’t register me. Screw it. Although after reading the links Erick posted, I don’t care that much about it anyway. Had this call to action been more significant, as in say, a presidential election, I’d be raising h*ll with the powers that be. But in this case, ah, screw it.

My main point is very simple: Those who wish to gain serious numbers of people on the internet to back a cause must have the people in place who have the time and resources to make it work. From what I’ve see (or more like NOT seen), the site Erick linked to doesn’t fit the bill. I began wondering the same things about Redstate until a month or so ago when the 500 errors FINALLY stopped appearing every time I wanted to read or post something. Granted, the 2008 election is over. The proof or real change will come in 2010 and 2012.
