ERS Network Update

In case you missed it, the Knightly Show and the Ever Red State Network are entering a transitional phase.

Due to time and personnel constraints, I announced last week that the Knightly Show podcast would go dark, for an undefined period of time.

Since then, I have given thought to ways of keeping it alive in segments, such as in daily, recorded 24-minute segments that could be combined into a 2-hour podcast at the end of the week. No decisions have yet been made.

The Ever Red State Network, meantime, is alive and well on Facebook and Twitter.

EverRedState.com is being revamped and re-designed to coincide with November 2011, exactly twelve months from the strategic date for which the network was established: Election Day 2012.

As a faithful audience you deserve to have some idea of where this is going.

Our goal with the Knightly Show is to expand it into a full-time, three-hour radio talk show on terrestrial and digital signals.

We need committed broadcast entertainment professionals to serve as producers, board-ops and content creators, in order to take the show beyond its current levels.

 The Ever Red State Network has become a legitimate social media phenomenon, with next to no advertising or promotion. Since its original launch in January 2009, the Facebook presence has amassed a following of nearly 7,000 people. Its content reaches hundreds of users every day, soliciting a constant stream of feedback and creating “regulars” among the visitors.

On Twitter, the following has grown from 47 in January 2011 to over 1,600 today, with a daily flow of retweets and mentions.

As for me, your host, I am thriving in this recession, by the grace and empowerment of Almighty God. I withdrew from my weekly radio hosting duties to resume working part-time in terrestrial broadcast media. It was, as is so often with Jesus Christ, an unsolicited, out-of-the-blue phone call with an opportunity no one in their right mind could pass up.

So, as we approach the benchmark of November 6, 2011 – exactly one year from the day we throw the tyrant down from his false footing – I snap my right hand in a crisp, U.S. Army salute to you, the Ever Red State Network.

We’re almost there. Do not get lazy, do not get complacent, do not take our momentum for granted. But also do not forget how ominous things were in the lowlands of February 2009, when the Tea Party was still a subject of U.S. history.

Quietly, in your mind’s eye, recall the scenes of crowds swelling in the first bailout protests …

Let the pride overwhelm you as you recall the shouting and rancor of ObamaCare town halls …

Remember the stunning victories in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Virginia …

Think fondly of the political raids we flew over Arizona, the BP oil spill, the Ground Zero mosque and the Bush tax cuts …

Remember with full clarity the colossal landslide of November 2010 …

Let your souls be stirred by this year’s heroics in Wisconsin and the suitcase nuke explosion of capturing the seat formerly held by Anthony Weiner ..

Do not forget that this was done largely without the leadership of the Republican Party; it was done many times in spite of their heel-dragging, hand-wringing, treacherous style of surrender, which to this day shrivels in gutless terror every time its foe so much as sneezes.

None of this would have happened if we’d left it up to the Grand Old Farties.

Take in this rugged journey, examine and re-examine it, for it is yours, and it is precious.

It is the full satisfaction of a bloodless reenactment of the American Revolution, led not by a single, unifying leader, but as our currency motto says, “Out of many, one.”

Our Founders did not rest alone on the strength of George Washington, but on the shoulders of many towering forces – Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, Gouverneur Morris, Alexander Hamilton, John Adams and Patrick Henry – and those are just the ones we’ve read about.

The milestone we now approach is the day of which we dreamed when the Ever Red State Network surfaced on Facebook.

It is not to be taken for granted, but it is closer and more tangible than ever, and for that, we give praise to God Almighty and we thank Him for all of you – a true generation of American warriors, just like your forefathers.

See you on Election Day. Victorious.
