Bloggie Style

Bloggie Style is back, after a short break, to review The Bell Curve. The Bell Curve has been rated the 4th best Libertarian blog site by WebDesignSchoolsGuide.com.

The site is designed like many others, a rather blah style, nothing unique. However, the content is very user-friendly, and the blog site is easy to follow.

The blog's author, Wayne County Chairman Rex Bell, submits very well-written, coherent, and intelligent entries. While I do find that some of the positions are debatable within Libertarian circles more so than previous blog sites reviewed, it is Bell's willingness to take on tough, objectionable issues that makes the articles fun to read.

After reviewing Righty Blogs, I was informed about a blog site called Lefty Blogs. I decided that in fairness, I should review this site as well. The site design varied greatly from Righty Blogs, but the intent was the same. State-by-state listings of local blogs, as well as national blogs, could be found.

Billing itself as the place to find “progressive” blogs from across the country, Lefty Blogs seeks to give information mostly centered around civil liberties, while Righty Blogs centered on economics.

Today I was browsing the internet looking for a good Libertarian blog site so I could read some reactions to the November 4th elections. While looking specifically for a national blog to gauge nationwide interest in the party, I happened across the Ludwig von Mises Institute website.

It has political blogs on the home page and on the community page, and features as “User Blogs” section and a live chat section as well. Also featured is a forum with some great discussion on some wide-ranging topics. The blogs and articles inter-mix, giving in-depth, knowledgeable, and factual information.

While researching blogs for my latest review, I came across RightyBlogs.com. At first, I figured this would be strictly a Republican blogging site, yet I was so impressed with the interactive layout at the homepage that I felt compelled to continue on; and I was glad I did. Not only does RightyBlogs.com focus on national issues, but on state-by-state issues as well!

The RightyBlogs.com homepage has a map of the United States. By clicking on any individual state, the visitor will be taken to conservative blogs strictly involving candidates and issues for those individual states.

Not sure what is on the table with the United States Congress? Visit TheCongressBlog.org, where you will find answers to all your questions.

The Congress Blog gives readers the run down on all the happenings of both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate. Included are fun facts in their A Bit of Congressional History, which serves as a “this day in congressional history” informational.

This blog is highly informative, but somewhat dull. Blog listings are short snippets of other blogs, with links provided to take the reader to the full blog. While it is nice to have blogs from a wide range of sources posted in one place, it is a little bit annoying to have to jump from one Website to another and back.

Where should you go when politics have you down? Libertarian candidate for governor of Indiana, Andrew Horning’s official blog: We Declare!

Andrew Horning combines political humor with seriousness in a way that few others can match. While acknowledging a complete dismissal by the mass media of an early campaign event, Horning is still able to poke fun at his reporter-less press conference in his posting, Journalists for Medical Experiments.
