I wrote this specifically for my fellow Freepers over at FreeRepublic.com, so if
anyone is wondering who I am directing some comments in my post to, it’s them.
A couple years ago I had a fellow Freeper help me create a new website.
I have shared some of my new work here, but not much. However, Well
I have finally transferred most my work from my old blogspot into this
new site. So now I feel it is time to officially invite one and all to
check it out. I feel the time has come for me to step forward and
consistently write as often as I can. I am asking for everyone to pray
for me and help support me by checking out my blog from time to time.
I am going to be looking around for other Christian Conservative
bloggers who write either about Christian topics, political topics,
or both as I do to network with. So if you fit the bill, please
contact me and we can help promote each others blogs, and articles. I
believe it incumbent upon all conservatives to work together to help
keep the dream of, “Making America Great Again”, alive and moving
forward. We can do it, as long as we work together instead of against
each other. Something I see happening too often on our side.
Which brings me to the problem facing most conservative writers today. I
have noticed a bad pattern going on with conservatives on the various
forums and social sites I have frequented. It seems that many would
rather read articles and opinion papers that are posted in liberal
news outlets, rather than spend the time to find what conservative
writers have to say about situations effecting their lives. I’m here
to tell you brothers and sisters, this makes it real difficult for
independent conservatives to get recognized. For those who are good
writers, once they get recognized they have a chance of actually
making a living by getting paid for their their work. Or at least
make enough to pay for upgrades on their computers.
When I was donating blood at the blood bank a few weeks ago, forgot
my iPhone. So In order to kill time I picked up a liberal magazine to
read. As I flipped through it, I came across an article that described
how a well known liberal web site was looking for writers. In the
column, the author explained that almost 30% of liberal writers get
paid for their work while less than 10% of conservatives writers
make money off their work.
Now I’m not quite sure I believe those numbers, but let’s say they are
correct. As difficult as it is to get recognized or to even make
money writing, I see way too many conservatives trashing up an coming
writers rather than helping them out with constructive criticism or
by helping them get exposure. Where as the leftists will do all they
can to promote any idiot who can type the phrase, “Capitalism
Sucks.” Don’t believe me? Check out MSNBC.
How can we turn that around you may wonder. Well, what you can do is
support Christian conservative writers and their sites. When you
visit a liberal web site for news, you help liberals make money by
giving them traffic. Conservatives make money the same way, but way
too many conservatives support leftist writers and companies by
getting the scoop from liberal sites that only wish to destroy our
way of life. Remember, when us conservatives go to liberal web sites,
we are funding them and in turn their leftist causes.
Another truly disheartening aspect of being a conservative writer is
when some conservatives actually complain that a conservative blogger
is just trolling for traffic. Yet, the same guy who claims to be a
conservative, will usually post links to articles on liberal websites.
I promise you this, if you go to my blog you will never be forced to
watch some irritating video that pops up just so I can make a dime.
There will also be no sexually explicit ads that tease you to go to
another site to learn what the Taylor Swift is up to. Nope, just my
columns, with some links to other conservative sites that share my
beliefs and values.
Now I know that 99% of you dislike the politics of the MSM, which
continually shoves their liberal slanted news into your face. So it
seems that you would be thankful to find conservative writers that
agree politically with you. Supporting conservative God fearing
Christian writers should be all our goals. How else can we replace
the anti-God anti-American leftist MSM writers who dominate the news?
It should be a goal of conservatives, and especially Christians, to
support writers who reflect their views and beliefs. Bloggers today,
are the true inheritors of the Fifth Estate. As a fellow blogger,
allow me to share with you what we go through to write one column.
When we see a report that tickles our fancy, we will usually go to
the earliest and closest source we can find to the original report or
story. We could spend a few hours learning as much about the facts of
the incident we can, and then we write our column from a point of
view you agree with. Not changing any facts, just pointing out the
relevance to our conservative world.
OH, and for those of you who think we just post what ever we feel like
posting. I bet most bloggers are like me. I have more articles in my
draft column that, I spent ours investigating and writing about that
I eventually decided were not worthy of wasting your time over. Thus
they languish and never got published. I also admit that 80 or more
percent of my writings are Christian related, so you won’t get as much
political news, but from time to time I do write on politics.
Thus is if you are not frequenting my site as much I understand, but
come on, there are many conservatives who do write 99% about politics,
So give them some love for their hard work by checking out their sites
from time to time. I know that no one agrees 100% of the time, but
wouldn’t you rather go with someone you can agree 80% to 90% of the
time with? With conservative writers, you can usually be assured
that their column is not going to be written in a way that trashes
your whole belief system.
Unlike the anti-God, anti-American communist woke leftist MSM, who
claim to be unbiased, then report like they’re the mouth piece of
the socialist left, we conservative writers admit we are on the
right, and yes our reporting will reflect it, and we are darn proud
of it. So when you read what we write, you know it’s going to be
factual, and that it comes with our conservative opinion. We admit it.
As for me, I am a disciple of Christ who believes capitalism is the best
economic system the world has ever known, and Republic Democracies are
the only was men can life freely. I love my God, my country, and I will
defend the constitution with every fiber of my being. Even at 67, I
would step up and die for our right to be free. I believe in the American
constitution as it was presented to us the day it was written and signed
by the founding fathers. It is not alive, and while it has been abused,
it’s still one of the 3 greatest documents ever written for man. It is
this understanding that I approach everything I decide to write about.
