Last night, I did some research. I wandered the Internet for quite some time–skipping from Blog to Blog and reading random thoughts and ideas. I discovered a really interesting collective batch of people, thoughts, and writing. I stumbled across a handful of personal Websites, a nice collection of Liberal blogs, and a few college collectives.

The most notable of all fo the Websites that I discovered in my short journey was the Website: www.rightwingnews.com. First, and most importantly, the writing was good. It was focused, succinct, and had a very specific audience. The language was clear, and the author employed language in a powerful and exemplary manner.

In addition to the writing and the structure itself, the content was actually quite noteworthy. It is extremely conservative, but it exemplifies the constituency that we (the Democratic party) supposedly could not reach. In addition, they actually have several entries (including one on the homepage) addressed specifically to Progressive thinkers. It is a recipe (from their perspective) for how to reach middle America. Of course, their analogies are filled with stereotypes, but whenever you use persuasion in your writing, you SHOULD have some bias embedded within your language.

The other thing that impressed me about the writing was that they addressed the President directly. The authors are distinctly aware of their position as the power base of President Bush, and they demand that he address their specific wants–which are not altogether too far from my own desires for government. They, in fact, demand that he align his policies with their ideals: get the spending under control, diminish the size of the government (not increase it), and control the influx of immigrants. All three of their points are good in my opinion.

Although some people may not agree, I have added them as a link on the blog. Diversity of opinion, viewpoint, and beliefs are important to the Democracy that I support and love. So, I am going to practice that right here in my teensy, little corner of the Blog-o-sphere.
