Residual Forces

This made me speechless.

Dear Andy,

It’s Christopher Chesny. I had my email posted on
KvM a week ago.
I understand you are going back to your blog to
try to keep shop there and fight for truth in the
Minnesota Republican Party. Good luck to you on that.
It will be tough but you will win in the end. In
Oklahoma, we were one of the the few states where we
made gains in the state senate and in some county
races. Here in Rogers County we have a majority on the
County Commission for the first time ever.
I digress though and get to what I wanted to post
about. I wanted to say thank you for all the time you
put into KvM. Over the past year and a half, reading
your stuff day in, day out was some of the most
entertaining stuff I would get to do on a regular
basis. You probably posted there more than you did
your own blog. You helped give KvM the energy that
gave it a national presence, for better or worse. Some
of your footwork on the scandals was better than any
“journalist.” You became a textbook example of what a
blog can and should be during times like that, and
showed what the media (i.e., the machine) was not
doing and should have been doing.
I have to say you have become probably my favorite
blogger over the course of this past year. Your fight
for the truth is awe-inspiring and should be
commended. I have never seen in my time reading blogs
anyone so dedicated to the truth than you. You are, in
effect, my “North Star of Justice.”
Your time at KvM was not wasted. Don’t let anyone
tell you otherwise. You were an inspiration to me and
others like me. It was some of the funniest (and
funnest) reading I have had in my life. It was a wild
ride, but I kept up. Thank You for your time at KvM. I
will keep reading you at RF.

Sincerely,
Christopher Chesny

P.S., Don’t ever give up.

I’ve emailed him back a reply, and I just can’t say thank you enough for the kind words. The best part about it is that it was fun for him. It was fun for me. I didn’t mean to make the signing off post at KvM imply that it wasn’t.

I’m just glad that others appreciated it. When you’re staring into the Machine’s gullet on a daily basis and on most days you knwo just about everyone is against you, it is remembering messages like these that keep you going. I’ll never be a Powerline, Captain ‘Fresca’ Ed, Hugh, or Insta Pundit, but I am making a difference.

Blogs do matter, no matter what party folks tell you. We do reach out to a new group of people. We do touch hearts, we do touch minds. We do affect change. We’ll become even more important in politics, and I hope I can play a small part in that.

So thanks again Christopher, I just hope I can not let good readers like you down. People like you have put your faith in me do keep up the good fight. It is a good thing I am a Polish German American. I’m too stupid to know when I am up against the odds, and too dang stubborn to know when to quit.

I’m not going anywhere. There is too much truth to be found and brought to the masses.
