With all of the election hoopla, none of us Anchor Rising contributors thought to remember that November 7 was the two-year anniversary of this blog. In the past year, I think that we've managed to pull at least a couple links of the ol' anchor chain out of the water. At the very least, our anchor weighing has caused at least a few ripples here and there (for example).
I believe that we have proven ourselves to be intellectually honest and responsible while advocating for conservatism in the arena of ideas. This has lent us a degree of credibility with other media outlets and, in turn, the increased exposure they have offered has allowed us to broadcast a conservative viewpoint to the broader public. Hopefully, we've opened some minds along the way.
But enough of the self-congratulation. The anchor still needs to be weighed. So let's get back to manning the windlass and keep cranking.

Aye, or it'll be no grog and forty lashes for ya'!

Congratulations on your two-year anniversary. In a state as politically backwards as many a third world country, let us be glad that there is a forum like this, in which conservative ideas can be discussed and dissiminated.

Posted by: rhodeymark at November 11, 2006 8:56 AMCongratulations to all. Two years is no small feat.
While I disagree with much that's said here, I appreciate and respect the forum. And I will defend your right to say it.
Thanks.
