Reasonable bloggers.

With all the nonsense coming from the right, I have decided to create a non-all-inclusive of some good and bad bloggers in my liberal opinion:

Good, inteligent, non right-brain-washed bloggers:
blogic
wisefawn
Col Gene
Myrrander
apdelong31
alison watkins
stevendedalus
Spc Nobody Special
dabe
Lee1776
Gideon
Also, though he is from the right: Grim Xiozan is a good reasonable discussion most of the time.

Bloggers whos views starckly contrast with mine, and who may result to personal assults. Often also the same bloggers who hate the right. This does not mean they are not worth reading and discussing with:
drmiller
Sir Peter (I do believe he has been banned)
little_whip
Messy Buu
d3adz0mbie

There are more, those are the ones I know for sure off the front page politics forum right now though. Feel free to express your concerns with my list.

The jury is still out on that one.

Who would have guessed that the bulk of your "good" bloggers are of the left and all of the bad ones are of the right?

I'm sorry dabe but I see your message as one of hate and hate alone.

I'm glad at least a couple of folks out there consider me reasonable. I'd include Draginol on that list, although he is more conservative than me -- he's reasonable, and I certainly wouldn't call him "brainwashed". And I enjoy Bungy32's posts and CrispE, too, along with the others you've listed. Daiwa is also becoming a favorite of mine, although that's a more conservative blogger, too. Thanks for reading, Sandy!

Damn I got to change that until it is a unreasonable discussion all of the time with me.

Guess I am not working hard enough!

Heh heh

Thank God I don't have to put up with Sir Peter! I would have been glad to appreciate him for satire, but last spring, when I first discovered politicalmachine, he staunchly defended his title as being real though a fellow blogger checked his claim and found it to be false. When Sir Peter began givin lame excuses for not being on the royal registry it was then that I realized this guy to be some sad poser. Would've been cool had he taken the satire route, but he was only a nuisance.

I group JU bloggers into the following loose categories, I'll only include the ones I've had enough experience in analyzing to mention. To be eligible, the bloggers had to have posted at least one (1) article. Once you get done finding out where you're at, feel free to stick me in a box! Turnabout being fair play and all.


Blogger Elite: Post insightful articles with rational thought and willing to reason with other bloggers often go to great lengths to support arguments with links, graphs, etc. .
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Draginol Myrrander Stevendedalus Gideon Macleish



Up and Comers: Great blogs, coherent thought, but a little too idealogically aligned to the right or left at times so less apt to consider other views, but often provide evidence to back up claims or provide counterpoints
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Daiwa Tbone4Justice Blogic Lee1776 Bakerstreet COL Gene Wisefawn Champas Socialist


Casual Bloggers: Have an opinion and pop up frequently to remind us of it, but have shown a capacity for reason and consideration of others at times, less apt to provide backing support for assertations then the previous groups

For sure, along with Crispe. I may have forgotten some more sorry. I only did bloggers who had an article on the list of most recent posts. I would consider the following to be reasonable right wingers:

Grim
Draginol (most of the time, though we have had our misunderstandings and disagreements)
Messy Buu

And i generally agree wiht Deference .. who is an excelent blogger as well and should be in the casual blogger section.. cuz thats where I am

Thank you for the feedback! I'm pleased you accept the honor, Steve.

Yes, Sandy, I probably belong in the casual blogging group. Thank you for the kind words. I always enjoy visiting this community, though I've been hard nosed enough at times to stuff me in with the "hardcore scrappers."

wow, Deference, that's quite a group of fellow bloggers you put me in with -- thanks. I've always enjoyed Dharma's stuff, Texas Wahine's stuff, and I'll always be grateful to WiseFawn who defended and encouraged me when I was started off here

Everyone:

For those who would include me I thank you for the honor. I am a great believer in the idea that every person is worthwhile, has a purpose and is worth respect. A person has to go out of his/her way to make me think otherwise. A few have done that but even those may have acted for other reasons than spite or nastiness.

So keep up the great blogs! You are appreciated.

Me too. I would also like to extend a special thanks to those above and to Myrrander for helping me get started off here, even though I am still a "newbie"
