has been ranked in the top 150 Conservative websites (#140) See the rankings here. To my knowledge, this is the first time this site has appeared on this list.
I suspected the website was gaining traction when I learned that, on a monthly basis, readers from over 140 countries visit the site.
While I am flattered and have you readers to thank, I have never considered myself or this website conservative. To me, the word is nothing but elastic, a label used by the masses. So too is liberal. Both have little content other than in the mind of the user or the listener. Frequently the one speaking the word has a different conception of its meaning than the one hearing it. All too frequently both words are used in pejorative ways to incite one side against the other.
Friedrich von Hayek wrote a brilliant essay on why he was not a Conservative entitled Why I Am Not A Conservative. Despite his rejection of this label, people continue to refer to Hayek as one. If Hayek can be called a conservative, I suppose that I should be proud to be grouped in with him. Hayek as many of you know, preferred to describe himself as a “classical liberal,” a lesser understood term but one with more meaning. That I hope is what is reflected more on this blog than conservatism.
To the many readers and other blogs who have linked to articles here, it is your support and response that makes this (sometimes grueling and lonely) effort worthwhile. Your feedback and small recognition like this ranking allows me to believe that I am not merely a modern day reincarnation of The Man from La Mancha, flailing away at imaginary dragons.
Thanks again to all supporters.
Wonder why your kids don’t learn at school? Here is but one reason related to political correctness gone wild. The woman in this video is shrill, but she is correct in what she says. The hypocrisy of the school system, driven by the political correctness madness, is quite evident in the manner with which they treat the Muslim religion as compared with the Judeo-Christian religions that predominate in the country.
