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.
