Thank you for all you do Phillip; keep up the great work!
Not so much that Mr Van Cleave is a "gifted" writer. A "gifted" writer is one who can lay words to paper in such a way as to convey his/her view to the reader in understandable fashion, while getting his spelling and grammer correct.
Joseph Geobbels was a "gifted" writer.
Karl Marx was a "gifted" writer.
Dan Casey is a "gifted" writer.
And yes, Philip Van Cleave is a "gifted" writer. Heck, so are Mike, John and a few others on this board.
The difference between the first 3 writers mentioned above and the others is that Geobbels, Marx, and Casey wrote/write lies and try to pass them off as truths. Van Cleave, Mike, JOhn and the others write with truth and honesty, backed by factual evidence.
Veritas vos liberabit.
When writing/speaking the truth with conviction and dedication, indeed a passion for the facts, the message will not fade in the bright light of public scrutiny.
All too often, history has offered up scribes and orators dedicated to perverting, distorting the simple proposition of being honest and factual. Why - for their own distorted benefit and purpose.
These latter three champions of our RKBA, each utilizing honest hard facts coupled with their own inimitable style, rise head and shoulders above the more plebeian authors. This is what makes them gifted in the context of who we are and what we do.
If they are not gifted, then their success must be the result of much effort, blood, sweat and tears. The final result is, in any event, a job well done.
I recognize them and thank them for being who they are and more specifically for what the do. Their chosen "night job" is not always easily accomplished but I have never heard a whisper of complaint.

So, it looks like Dan is trying to get a buzz going against CC in a restaurant. He's blogged about the lawsuit in Arizona, and the one in Tennesee. What do these have to do with metro Roanoke?
I guess it's good thing that this rag can't possible have that many readers.

How 'bout this cartoon from the RT? Despite being shown tons of facts about guns in bars, the RT once again resorts to scare tactics when the facts don't support their agenda.
