Last Sunday,
BC the proprietor of I’m 41,
presented the winner of the 2013 Coolest SOB in the Conservative Blogosphere
Award. Many excellent sites were listed
as nominees for the award and those who walked away with top honors certainly
are deserving of the recognition.
BC was
honoring the late Andrew Breitbart when he envisioned the awards and wanted to
call attention to bloggers that espoused “class, common courtesy, etiquette,
selflessness and a genuine respect for the efforts of other conservative
bloggers—no matter how minimum.”
I was
disappointed that so many of the bloggers I know didn’t fare well in the voting
process. The sites listed below in
alphabetical order are being presented the First Annual Paul Revere Award
sponsored by Political Clown Parade.
I chose Paul
Revere as the icon for the award because he was an American patriot who’s
legendary “Midnight Ride” to warn the colonists of Massachusetts before the
historic battles at Lexington and Concord played a vital role in America’s
struggle to gain independence from Britain.
Paul Revere
was not born to wealth—he was an ordinary man who lived an extraordinary life.
Revere was a patriot, a businessman, an involved citizen, and a popular and
well-respected member of his community.
An obituary in
the Boston Intelligence commented, "Seldom has the tomb closed upon a life
so honorable and useful."
These bloggers
are but a few of the brave and resolute men and women who hold down jobs and raise their families while standing guard over liberty. They don’t have big advertising on
their sites nor do they have a bevy of contributing writers. They pore over information and bring their
opinions to their readers in order to inform and warn.
They have the
keen zest of the citizen whose patriotism is of the lusty type that causes them
to take an active part in politics. They
add humor and common sense. They deserve
to be recognized.
I will be
contacting each winner via email to provide them with a personalized badge
which they can place on their website if they so chose.
Thank you to
each of them for all that they do and may God bless them.
UPDATE:
Two of my favorite bloggers who were never nominated but are tops on my
list are Adrienne’s
Corner and Zilla of the Resistance. They are receiving the Paul Revere Award as
well. Thank you both.
