I’ve received everything from poetry (bad) to bribery (good) as entries to the Girl on the Right 5th Anniversary Love Letter Contest.

From longtime reader Kevin P:

I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; and for their Girl on The Right!
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
to speak out and act against wrongs and injustices,
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

Regular commenter James sent money. Sorry Dahling, but money can’t buy this love (for once). Er, but please don’t stop sending money!

Joanne is in the lead I think, with this:

Sometimes I think you’re rude and insensitive, it’s true. And sometimes I shake my head at your nerve and say out loud, “Oh, no, tell me she didn’t write that!” This is invariably followed with laughter or raised eyebrows and a loud, “Phew!” Perhaps it is precisely because your approach is so different from mine that you make me step back from my preconceived notions and think twice about a particular subject.

Looking back at some of the many issues covered at Girl on the Right, I remember being astonished when I read about Marc Lepine’s background. You mean Marc Lepine wasn’t his real name? His father was a wife-beating Muslim? What?! They didn’t tell me that on the six o’clock news!

I read your blog because you’re smart, you are often interesting and, even when I think you’re over the top, it’s usually in the service of making a good point. After having met you a few times, I also believe that your heart is in the right place.

Jim comes to Girl on the Right because it’s downright sinful! Be careful, Jim. Reading Girl on the Right can make you grow hair on your palms.

Well, partially it’s your smart mouth and sound conservative thoughts. However I can’t stop checking
in on you for more hints re: your (imagined by me) lurid sexual past. One, I recall, you referred to talking
insultingly to masochistic men for a fee.

Frances is glad I decided not to sell out.

I enjoy your rants and your folksy sharing of your joys and frustrations. Keep up the good fight! Don’t sell!

J.M. sent me an email full of shooting tips, oddly enough. I’ll keep them in mind for the next time I get trigger-happy.

If anyone else would like to submit an entry (and try to beat Joanne), the email address is
