I've got to get around to working on my blogroll.
I got a pleasant e-mail from one of the writers at one of my daily reads, ThreeSources, offering me a place on their blogroll. Of course, I am a firm believer in a policy of reciprocal trade agreements, and I've been reading ThreeSources for a while, so I was delighted, and you'll find them added on to the blogroll below.
ThreeSources is a group blog, overseen by a team of very bright writers, and if you'll get them a visit, you'll find they're conversant on politics, current events, economics, and foreign relations. While they don't always agree with each other on everything (which keeps the banter level joyously brisk), they are deep in Smart Guys territory. They're also very readable. If we had people who think like these guys running the country, we would not be anywhere near the situation in which we presently are. Visit them; you'll be very glad you did.
Which leads to an interesting thought: no man is an island.
I've recently exchanged thoughts with a good handful of people as a result of blogging. A lot of it came from the "I Am John Galt" post here back on September 24. We've quietly compared notes, some of which you'll find in the next post, and we've concluded there's a real need for mutual support among genuine conservative bloggers. Let's face it - conservatives got left out in the cold in the recent election.
Stay tuned for further developments on this, but for right now, I'm going to plant a few seeds:
(1) Visit and encourage fellow conservative bloggers - and especially, leave a comment when you do! I know how much traffic I get, and how it compares to the comments. This is a conversation, not a monologue! Comment regularly, and let us know if you agree or disagree, and why. Nothing feels better than to know we're not alone.
(2) Think about a network of grassroots conservatives - exchanged blogroll links, for example.
That's it for this post. Watch this space for the next step on this; you're going to be introduced to some new people with some good ideas.
