Seeing just how biased the MSM was led me to blogs. I now prefer reading blogs more than any other kind of writing. <br /><br />One has to be interested in the polity because freedom is not guaranteed without eternal vigilance. Would-be-"rulers" of the rest of us never cease to attempt ways of exerting their will over a docile, happy populace. The leftist-controlling-authoritarian impluse will never leave a portion of humanity, and they will always try and impose their will on the rest of us, and thus they need to be endlessly resisted. Good news media and bloggers can alert us on what these would-be-rulers are up to. It makes for interesting reading, and its a hell of a lot more entertaining than the idiocy one can see on television.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26188478.post-54105653435180813632009-10-07T14:53:12.523-07:002009-10-07T14:53:12.523-07:00Is there a correlation between interest in politic...Is there a correlation between interest in politics and actual voter turnout?The Undiscovered Jewnoreply@blogger.com
