For some reason, I can go a week without a single good thought, and then I have about 37 I want to blog in one day. Today, it’s all politics-dominated (which I guess makes sense, as they’re voting 2 hours south of me).
I’ve been surprised over the past couple years to discover how many more types of “conservatives” there are than I had realized back in 2004. I’ve stumbled upon several conservative journals, articles, and blogs that are in favor of good ecological practices (even if they aren’t part of the Al Gore-style global warming crusade), believe that family and tradition are more important than a financial version of the American Dream, were against the Iraq war from the start, and are as skeptical of big business as they are of big government. Fascinating.
Limbaugh-Hannity conservatism is something I can hardly call conservatism anymore. There are still some pop conservative pundits I like to listen to, even if I don’t always agree (I don’t always agree with anyone, even myself really…), Glenn Beck being an example. But here are a few conservative and libertarian blogs that I read regularly now which are broadening my perspective on conservatism:
