On the day Ben Fanklin left for France to serve our new nation, he drew out the four thousand pounds he had in savings, and turned it over to the Treasury of the young United States, which was broke. That's all in.

by John Gaudio,Last night Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Prager, and Michael Medved came together in Denver, Colorado, for the opening of the Battleground States Talkers Tour, sponsored by RightChange.com and Salem Media.  Among other things, Hugh Hewitt said:"I love your state.  To the south you've got great people like Dr. Jim Dobson.  You've got great organizations like Young Life....  To our North we have one of the great luminous lights in the Roman Catholic Church and the world.  Archbishop Chaput is such an amazing man....<hr />The question I have to ask you is a very simple one.  Are you all in?... <hr />I want to thank <a title="RightChange.com is the organization responsible for the Battleground States Talkers Tour." href="http://rightchange.com/" target="_blank">RightChange.com</a>.  Fred is all in.  He's doing this.  I can't even begin to tell you the extraordinary commitment he has made to protecting this country through election.  Ed Adsinger and the entire Salem team has always been all in.  That's why we three are so proud to work for it.  They put themselves out in a way that no other company in American communications put themselves out for principles.  Not just profit, though we are profitable, but principles because they matter.  It's why he's in the business.<a href="http://www.bobschafferforsenate.com/">Bob Schaffer</a> is all in, and in a way you don't even begin to know....  He has three children wearing the colors of the United States....  Two in the Army, one in the Air Force Academy.  Thank you Bob, for your service.  I know there are other members of the United States military here tonight.  Would you stand up and let us thank you for service to the country, wherever you might be.I'm not easily humbled, but I was today.  I got to meet Captain Plum when he came to the studio, and I thought to myself when we were talking that I often hear we have been in Iraq too long, and yet we are not even approaching the number of years the captain spent in confinement [in North Vietnam] to make sure that this country was served well.  Captain, what an honor to meet you today.  Again thank you.It's a sad day for me.  My friend and my radio colleague, my fellow blogger, <a title="I met Dean Barnett a year ago at the Blog World Expo. He will be greatly missed." href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/10/memories_of_dean_barnett_1.asp" target="_blank">Dean Barnett</a>, died today....  Dean was born with a terrible condition.  Cystic Fibrosis....  He loved the fray because he loved America.  He loved everything about this country in a way that someone with that kind of a disease does and appreciates it every day....  He died doing what he loved doing, which was talking about the greatness of this country, and the importance of electing John McCain.  That's all in....[Bob Schaffer] needs money.  He needs your money, and he needs it tonight.... Colorado will be red and we need it to be red in a week....It is a pivotal election.  It is a crossroads.  We appreciate your being here tonight.  As you go home, don't go home happy that you heard something that made you sit up straight, cause what you do between now and then [election day], what you contribute between now and then matters much more than coming out tonight." 10 application/xml false Battleground States Talkers Tour Hugh Hewitt John Gaudio Salem Radio Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 johngaudio 67.176.89.238 false true false false true 176085 false false true false false false true 79668 blog blogsite/ABetterBlogsite/web
