Great idea, she deserves some recognition.

I also like BOBBIE'S BROTHEL

How about BOBBIE'S BASTION

or BOBBIE'S BUNGALOW

or BOBBIE'S BUNKER


Just a suggestion. Or three.

Don't know Bobbie...

I've been referring to us as the Freedom Force.

However, you are correct Bobbie is the one who came up with this so it should have her in the name.

Bobbie's Burkian Conservatives...

Bobbie's Bunkhouse Stampede...

Could become a sitcom? Is already a sitcom? It is a large family.

Bobbie is the one who put together this small band of bloggers. She volunteers her time by providing a focal point for likeminded TH folks to share opinions and personal stories. When someone from the group makes a new post, we notify Bobbie and she consolidates and distributes the posts via emails...similar to what Craw does with news articles. I should have explained this better in the post.

Medius Verum literally translates to “middle truth”. Although I’m not without my absolutes, I find that the truth (as I see it) normally resides somewhere in that perfect shade of grey between black and white. Not always applicable, but in my experiences more often than not.

Here’s Bobbies blog:

http://speakupamerica.blogtownhall.com/default.aspx

I hope you’ll join our motley crew.

Glen, MJSJR, stefano, drpete, and skep

...thanks for the inputs. I’m not sure how we’ll pick the winner. Vote? Or just submit the whole thing to Bobbie and let her pick one.

Bobbie's Blogger Brigade

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
"Forward, Bobbie's Blogger Brigade!
"Charge for the guns!" he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.


"Forward, Bobbie's Blogger Brigade!"
Was there a man dismay'd?
Not tho' the soldier knew
Someone had blunder'd:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Awwwwwwwww, shucks

My head's so big I'm gonna have to get a neck brace. I so appreciate the kudos, but it's not necessary to put my name on anything. To do so makes it appear that I own something; I don't: this belongs to all of us.

Hope I don't seem unappreciative. I just want us all included. How 'bout Townhall Bloggers Battallion or something like that? Something that recognizes us as a group?

Thanks Tim and all......Thank you very much.

I like the Brigade idea. It's rooted in the military, and most would agree we have a militant bent. And I'm ex-military.

Off to battle we go.

Great poem, Good Al!!

Does that mean I have to wear one of those hats with a plume and pants with a satin stripe down the leg?

Well juxtaposed. I don’t think Tennyson would mind at all.

O millions o’ liberals that babble of Obama's might,
Behold the stalwart who won’t retreat the fight;
Our children's children are lisping to "honor the charge they made --"
And we leave to the streets and the workhouse the charge of the Bobbie’s Brigade!

Apologies to Mr. Kipling.

Chose whatever name you like, or makeup one of your own. It’s all in good fun.

Your efforts assist the conservative cause and are appreciated.

how about?

Bobbie's Beaten Path? I feel beaten sometimes when writing some easy to figure out comment or post that America can't seem to figure out. Plus wo do provide a path to information the MSM won't provide. Glnnflwrs saying Bobbie's Brothel? Bobbie works hard for us but don't think she wants to be known as a cybermadam :) Plus I'm sure she looks a lot better than Heidi Fleiss lol. This was a good idea though. She works hard for us to put the word out. Definitely our flagship person. Got a new post up.

Your band of brothers picture had reminded me of the 101'st airborne divisions' accomplishments at Bastogne. I wrote a piece on it, stop by when you have the chance!
