For those of you who like reading a true conservative’s take on things, I’ll go ahead and recommend Tipsy Teetotaler. I don’t agree with him with very much, politically, but when I’ve had discussions with this blogger, he’s been unfailingly civil – friendly, really – and he’s dead smart. Those nice things said, once again, I don’t agree with him on much politically. So, if you like my blog and bias reinforcement is your thing, maybe Tipsy isn’t for you. On the other hand, if you’re a thesis + antithesis = synthesis kind of person, this may be just the thing.
Update In retrospect, I probably over-hyped the disagreement angle. We find some common ground on the subject of “movement conservatives” as Tipsy puts it – Fox, Townhall, etc. He also did a double take at a Heritage Foundation suggestion that bigger military = smaller government. And, of course, I’ve found with even with my mainstream, Fox News watching Republican friends that when we get off the “my team versus your team” discussions and focus on particulars, there is often a lot of common ground.

Kind words.
People do change. My polestars are now Edmund Burk, Russell Kirk, G.K. Chesterton, Hillaire Belloc, etc. I never got into Fox or politics as bloodsport generally.
I cover lots of human things other than politics, too.
