In Triangle Park, The Lights Are Dim, The Statues Grin

Join us at a counterprotest this coming Saturday, to join with fellow anti-terror, pro-troops Americans to counterprotest the “peace” rally in Saint Paul. The counterprotesters will gather and demonstrate at Triangle Park in Saint Paul (the triangle-shaped block east of the linked map) at the corner of Marshall…

Counter This
Kerry Hogan at Smoothing Plane, preparing for Saturday’s counterprotest, notes: Arguing with the deranged shows optimism but is futile. The unreasonable do not come to reason through reason. Humor and ridicule, that’s the ticket. He’s also got some ideas for signs.

Counterprotest
A group of people who support the troops, and want the world to know that not all of the Twin Cities agrees with the anti-war, pro-surrender agenda, will be staging a counterprotest at the “peace” march on September 15. The counterprotesters will gather and demonstrate at Triangle Park in Saint Paul (the triangle-shaped block east of…

Imprimatur
Matt Abe (who regularly writes at Northstar Liberty) notes a bit of a milestone for the NARN (Volume III “The Final Word” in this case) over on True North today…: On last Saturday’s Northern Alliance Radio Network show, “The Final Word” with King Banaian and Michael Brodkorb (broadcast on AM 1280 The Patriot), Brian Sullivan…

Of Party and Principle
The other day, commenter J. Ewing – who is a frequent dissident from this forum’s dominant paradigm – left a comment in my thread about the launch of True North: But what I just don’t get is how, without taking a “principled stand” that candidates of one party (say, for example, the GOP) will do a…

Epilogue
Over at TN, Swiftee notes a sad event involving an involuntarily-key figure in the history of the Twin Cities center-right blogosphere…: It seems that [former Saint Paul school principal Zelma] Wiley has passed away…I’d like to express my sincere sympathies to the family of Zelma Wiley. …and the “columnist” who dragged her into the public…

Taken On Faith
Bob Collins at Polinaut notes the launch of two politics-oriented blogs this past week: …tomorrow, as near as I can tell, a bunch of conservative bloggers are adding True North to their repertoire. I believe the link — when it debuts on Saturday, will be here. Thanks for the hat tip, Bob! However, I had…

Domestic Terrorists?
Over at True North and Anti-Strib, Tracy Eberly takes apart the “cute” anarkid video that’s been getting yuks from the hear/see/speak no evil crowd. Comments at Anti-Strib.

Launching True North
Today’s the big launch for True North. We’re a blog. Perhaps you’ve heard; there are 70 million blogs out there. You might be forgiven for asking: “Why another?” The answer: because it’s needed. Minnesota is a tough place to be a Republican; it’s tougher still to be a first-principles based, center-right conservative. We face a…

True North
Today’s the big debut: About the time this article publishes, we’ll be giving True North its big sendoff at the State Fair (tune in on AM1280 The Patriot). Some people have asked – “why another conservative blog?” (Others, rather than asking, have tried to go all Chloe on us. Really, guys – less drama, please?)…

Counting Down
Over the last few weeks, I’ve been writing off and on about the situation that local conservative volunteers and bloggers are in – and about the need to get rallied for the new electoral season. I wasn’t just flapping my gums to enjoy the sound of it. More details later this week.

The Sound Of The Guns, Part II
Last week, I wrote that conservative activists are tired; as Gary Miller wrote, they’ve been ridden hard and put away wet for five straight election cycles now. It puts a strain on people, their finances, their families, their real lives. My article sounded downbeat. It probably was. Of course, I knew there was more to…

The Sound Of The Guns
It’s been a hard year for a lot of conservative activists – including bloggers. Remember, especially in Minnesota, the GOP relies on volunteers to do most of its grunt-level organizing, sign-posting, call-banking and door-knocking – the stuff for which the DFL pays a small army of “activists”. And each and every campaign in recent memory…
