Folks, we are on I-40 heading west and I fired up my nifty new Wi-Fi to actually check into some of my regular bloggers and news sources. I dropped in at Bill's site - and found him in connecting-the-dots mode. For the entire Citadel Team that was in Dallas, Bill's analysis will get your gears revving.
From the moment we were contacted by Glenn Beck's people early in the year (right after the Drudge piece), we new we'd never have a problem getting interviewed by Beck. We promised his Team we'd reach out to them first when we had our ducks in a row, when Miller was producing tangibles, et cetera. So, when we were ready, Holly took point and contacted the Beck Team, and we were booked after the administrative details were worked out.
Yes, the Citadel is media-worthy all on its own. Yes, the Kerodin Factor adds controversy and juice to the story. But Glenn Beck? No matter what you think of Beck you simply can't deny that sitting for an hour with Glenn Beck is anything but Major League. And personally, give me grief over it if you wish, I think Glenn Beck is doing serious work with tangible results in the fight for Liberty.
But was there more to it than just a news story? Afterall, Glenn Beck certainly doesn't need the Citadel or a Kerodin on his set for ratings.
Jim Miller, Holly and I have marveled time and again at how many unlikely events had to happen for the mere concept of the Citadel to be born, much less brought to where we are today, with Miller producing product and the Citadel owning its first parcel of land. Perhaps you believe in the Hand of the Creator, or would prefer to express it as the Hand of the Universe, or whatever explanation fits your philosophy - but Bill just helped connect dots that, to me, reveal that the Hand of the Creator is not only real, but at work.
Dallas Team - read Bill's analysis and see if you don't have an "AHA!" moment. For those of you who were not in Dallas, and not there for the post-show discussion we had with Beck in those moments, you won't get the full effect (and I'm sorry, we can't share those comments publicly), but you should still start to see there are forces at work that defy all odds and lead one to a singular conclusion.
The Citadel is the Continuity of Liberty.
Here's Bill's piece.
