While Conservatives, Republicans, hell, Americans are starting to mobilize 100% against Obama's agenda, for the 2010 mid-term elections in the House & Senate, not to mention fight back against his government takeover of health care, the auto industry, and union legislation, what are Conservative bloggers doing?

Who cares about LGF? No conservatives over there.

Not much of a contest. Johnson had some decent sources during Iraq but that was about it. Now he’s just lashing out, and LGF has jumped the shark. IMHO.

LGF was never a conservative blog and while I’m not certain I don’t think he ever claimed to be.

Charles did once upon at least seem to be partially sane. His Christian bashing was always over the top but I did love his set up there. Comment section was free flowing, entertaining and informative. He was a good source for WOT matters. He started losing it around 2006 so I’m a bit surprised it has taken this long for the other blogs to be in an outrage.

The outrage may be overblown or perhaps too late in coming. Yes, he can be de-linked and ignored as suggested. But, for the moment it’s entertaining if sad at the same time to see how low he’s fallen.

It can’t be all about the issues 24/7 or it leads to burnout. So let them have their distraction for awhile. If it is still going on a month from now than that will be another matter.

what are Conservative bloggers doing?

Shamelessly shilling their blogs on Free Republic?

The implications of Charles Johnson’s persistent thesis deserves careful consideration– that Conservatives must beware of supporters who are explicitly racist or advocate fundamentalist religious doctrines as public policy because they will alienate political moderates and “independents”.

Extremists of any orientation seem to ultimately arrive at totalitarian “solutions” which they would impose by force on the general population.

The Left has had little problem with allowing its most extreme elements to set the political direction of the Democratic Party. That doesn’t seem to work well when the Right tries to do it to the Republican Party.

The “rules for success” appear to be different for Conservatives than for Socialists. Perhaps we should keep focused what those differences really are.

LGF has sadly become irrelevant to this discussion. We might regret the transformation, but we need to move on without looking back.
