Bob Ellis has been a champion for conservative values.
He is hanging it up… for now.
I have considered myself a solid conservative. There have been times, though, when I have had an inclination to yield a bit to the moderates. At those times, all it took was a conversation with Bob Ellis to bring me back to earth. His complete commitment to conservative Christian values has be unwavering. Today, Bob wrote what he calls his farewell address. He began with this:
From the beginning, I wrote the articles I did because I believed God wanted me to remind good people of the things that are right, and with the encouragement that those things are winning principles. I felt the call of God from places like Ezekiel 3:17-19:
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from my mouth, you shall give them warning from me. If I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, in order to save his life, that wicked person shall die for[a] his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, or from his wicked way, he shall die for his iniquity, but you will have delivered your soul.”
And 2 Corinthians 10:5:
We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ
If you, like me, are concerned about the looming fate of conservative thought and policy in America, you might want to consider reading the ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE.
Bob concludes with these remarks:
By God’s grace and in His timing, I expect that sooner or later, I’ll be re-engaging in the worldview/public policy arena eventually. In the meantime, if I get an itch that needs scratching, if God seems to give me something to say, I might just post it at the American Clarion Facebook feed–so keep an eye on that feed, if you’re interested.
Until then, grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. – Ephesians 6:13
In an era of “Fake News”, losing a voice like Bob Ellis is a significant blow. His reports have always been accurate, well researched and dependable. Some claimed to be offended by the sharpness of his tone in some reports. I suspect what bothered them even more has been his unvarnished presentation of the truth. That is a hard pill for some people to swallow.
Bob was a frequent guest on Liberty Today TV.
For now, I’ll say good-bye to the public commentary from Bob, with the hope and prayer that he will return to the microphone sometime soon.
Until then, God speed my friend.
You are a hero.

Thank you for your kind words, Gordon. It’s been an honor and a pleasure fighting the rot online with you so many of these years. I pray God will richly bless your continued efforts.
