Every British Tory, including the Prime Minister, reads ConservativeHome.
http://conservativehome.blogs.com/
Over the past three years, Tim Mongomerie, Jonathan Isaby and Paul Goodman have made their pages the focal point of the British Centre-Right, with perhaps 1000 times as many readers as the official Conservative Party website.
There has until now been no American equivalent. Although there are many more Rightist blogs in the US than in Britain, with a higher total readership, no single site has established a hegemony. Now, though, the excellent Ryan Streeter has launched an American version of ConservativeHome:
http://conhomeusa.typepad.com/
He has borrowed the formula that brought ConHome to pre-eminence, reporting on the Republicans in an intelligent and sympathetic but keenly independent way, and understanding that the GOP is simply one element not always the most important element in the wider conservative movement.
If youre American and conservative, Im sure ConservativeHome USA will become part of your daily reading.

If the opinions expressed there are as “conservative” as the modern, post thatcher Tory’s opinion, it would be the equivalent of our RINOs.
Why would I need to go there? I’ve got FreeRepublic.Com
I LOL’d right after the first RSS about william and kate Middleton and this is supposed to be a conservative British site, instead of TMZ UK. The US version looks good though. I’ll give both some time..
From what I could understand from the utter mayhem on that site, we conservatives need to further dilute our message, since we haven’t been able to explain the blatantly obvious with our currently weak message.
Yes, thanks for the advice, but we’ve quite had enough of being “nice” and trying to “co-exist” with those who hate us.
YOU declared war on us 40 or so years ago.
We’re utterly TIRED of trying to get along with you.
NOW, we strike back. Get used to being marginalized, because your ideology is STILL (DESPITE years of running OUR schools) unacceptable to the VAST majority of freedom loving folk. YOU are the ones who are marginally acceptable, and that margin seems to be SHRINKING!
there needs to be a real shake up and very soon before they give the country to Islam.
Not much of a Tory fan. More of a UKIP guy. Nigel Farage rocks.

what do they mean the US don’t have a single site thats equivalent? freerepublic is that. This is the central place to get all news from all blogs
Daniel Hannan is great, though. He’s the British member of the European Parliament who called then Prime Minister Gordon Brown a Soviet-era apparatchik to his face; the video of his speech went viral soon afterward on YouTube.
Here’s a short 5-part video interview with Hannan on “Uncommon Knowledge”, Webcast from the Hoover Institution:

Hannan is great, but he makes some rather large errors—such as having supported Obama in ‘08.
Lucky for Hannan — and us — he couldn’t vote in our election.
If there is anything useful on that site it will be linked on FR soon enough.
