Ask not for whom the bell ToLs
Posted on September 1st, 2009 by Tol | No Comments
It’s been a while since I penned a post and thought I should bring something up this evening.
First, though I am the Founder of this little corner of the digital world, I do not see myself as its owner. I also do not see those who I have currently designated as Authors in that role. No, I see this site owned and operated by any who believe in the basic principles on which our country was founded.
Personally, I tend to view those principles through what many today would call a Libertarian or Conservative lens, but more and more I have received e-mails from those who describe themselves as “Old School Democrats” or “True Liberals,” or many such terms. Early on I tried to make it clear that all were welcomed here, but I’d like to make that clear again tonight.
As Thomas said yesterday, we must eschew the Red and the Blue, the Right and the Left, the Elephant and the Donkey. Set aside the party chains that fetter us and in favor of the values that bind us.
Why tonight do I feel the need to write this. Well, over the last 48 hours, we have had more new registrants than in any month prior. Clearly those folks are just lurking around, which is totally fine. However, I want everyone to feel free to make comment, post on our wall, or even make a submission for publication.
Heck, if you are feeling particularly adventurous, submit a piece and ask to become an Author.
In short, ask not for whom this bel ToLs; it ToLs for thee.
