Jeepers. 2005. That’s when the old-timers here found each other at Powerline Blog before this place existed. Before social media, at the moment when the American people were first discovering that the Internet provided an opportunity for us to voice our opinions and mix it up with others in ways never before available. Like minds and like intellects with various opinions on the details but with an overarching appreciation for truth, conservative policy, and love for America were attracted to form a de facto “team” to crush the spirit of the vapid liberals at Powerline. It was such great fun, and it was so rewarding to come back there day after day to support and be supported by you people who eventually became my online ideological cohorts. Even friends of a sort, insofar as a person can be friends with someone they’ve never met. Cindi was a friend to all of us. I’m so sad at her passing. She had a fire and spirit and a no-nonsense demeanor that always made me glad I was on her side. Rest in peace, good lady. May the arms of our Savior, our Lord Jesus Christ cradle you and comfort your husband.
