Viewing things as a whole it would seem that the internet right
is providing some powerful contributions that the rest of the
media right can?t provide for several reasons. Let?s take a look
at some of those contributions and some of the leaders in the
pack.
It looks overall like the liberals are advocating for no lines
to be drawn on most matters. The right insists there are lines,
very clear and important lines. This alone puts the right
clearly ahead in the battle. The idea that there is nothing to
fight for leaves the left with no real soldiers. There are of
late, however, a lot of embarrassed civilians among their ranks.
Those in the internet right are providing a good part of the
scathe that discomforts them.
The single most important contribution the internet right is
offering at this time is a full effort, a concentrated effort,
replete with facts and figures to support their right wing
views. Unlike newspapers that are cluttered with everything from
recipes to obits the Internet sites and blogs hunker down and
concentrate on the business at hand. If you want the full story
the internet right provides it.
A second contribution is linkage. Most people subscribe to one
or two newspapers and watch one or two favorite TV news
broadcasts. Should they want or need more on a subject they are
forced to wait on the editorial whims of the paper and the paper
boy?s next delivery. Following online links can provide anyone
with more information on a subject in only a half hour of
surfing than the papers or the networks could provide in days.
Last but not least are the time and space constraints that
newspapers and broadcast media are straddled with. Who has not
been listening to an interview with keen interest and waiting
for a summary when the host exclaims, ?that?s all the time we
have for now.? The right sites on the internet don?t have this
restraint. In the X generation it is acceptable to be fed with
half second blips and spots but if you need the whole story the
internet alone can fill the gap.
Many excellent right wing platforms are online today. I won?t
create a list of big boys and small fry but rather let?s look at
something more important. Keep in mind that this is by no means
a comprehensive list, I haven't the space here to mention them
all. There are dozens of great rigt sites out there and I only
wish I could include them all. I think that website design is
very important. Using normal guidelines for a good site, those
right sites that are easy to understand seem the best. One look
at the first page should give you the clearest picture of
everything you can expect to find on that site, and a clear path
to it. Some sites that come into this category are, Volconvo,
The Conservative Voice, The Nashif Report and The Rant.
If your looking for good old down home straight talk with a bit
of humor don?t miss Jackass Democrats.com, where the site
heading reads??where the conservatives come to gloat and giggle
about?jackass democrats.? Some of the best writing can be found
on the pages of The Conservative Voice where apparently they
would rather unleash a few truth dogs than to feed pabulum to
the public. Volconvo, has an unusual feature called? ?Massive
Topics? where they dive head first into the big scraps like
evolution, gays, and abortion. Speaking of special features
check out the??Hall of Shame? and ?Hate Mail? on The Rant.
Well seasoned and well blogged is The American Daily,
http://americandaily.com or the sister site http://moveoff.net
Here you will find a rather innovative item that could even be
considered brave. American daily actually puts the articles,
opinions and stories of the liberals in its own section on that
site. This is done so the opposing views can be compared and it
also serves as a means of stopping the complaint that liberals
aren?t given equal space on the internet right. Bravo!
If you are new to the internet right you should be warned that
the sites mentioned in this article are considered right wing
only not what is known as ?Radical Religious Right.? (RRR) These
sites have their merit but this treatment is not about either
the moderate or extreme right political activist?s sites.
Unfortunately most liberal internet sites crop all the right
sites into one lump. What?s worse is that on the extreme left
all these sights unfortunately may be viewed as hate sights or
dangerously fanatic. But that is why they are called, the
extreme left.
Many of the best internet right wing sites are simply platforms
for common sense, good citizenship and good government they
can?t help from being controversial. But hey, it must have been
the biggest controversy to hit the streets of our original
colonies when some people started gathering together to try to
form a new country. The last time I looked at the internet right
it was only trying to recognize and preserve the outcome of that
earliest of our national controversies. In this writers opinion
the internet right sites are?doing it right!
