I don’t read them much either. Usually what happens to me is after several paragraphs I end up strongly disagreeing with what I’m reading so I just stop. Conservatives don’t really have anyone like Bill Buckley anymore. David Frum was reasonable and you could listen to him but they ended up ostracizing him.

Have conservative blogs gone 'brain dead'?

The Right could open its windows a bit: I not only read "plenty of conservative pundits," I "consider myself one," too, says James Joyner at Outside the Beltway. I also prefer "rational, facts-based analysis," and sadly, I "find more of it across the aisle than on my own side." That's partly because "academics and policy wonks" tend toward liberalism, but the right does itself no favors by writing off the David Frums and Daniel Larisons as "RINOs angling for invites to liberal cocktail parties."

You aren't going to start back your habit of flooding the forum with your conservative-baiting troll threads, are you? There are some here who want something more than "Nyah! Nyah! Conservatives Suck!", understand?

Socialists don't believe in competition, Mari.

Wrong Rich, I'm also more than fed up with it too, and you know I love a good taunt.
