2005 Weblog Awards Archives

Blog Name: Stop the ACLU
URL: http://www.stoptheaclu.com
Feed: feed:http://stoptheaclu.com/feed/

This time last year, Stop the ACLU didn't exist. (established February of 2005) Today, it is ranked as the 6th highest blog in the TLLB Ecosystem and has risen to the class of Instapundit and Captain Quarters.

The blog has achieved success through hard work, perserverance and bringing concerned citizens together. It has lead a charge for Conservative values against the onslaught of the ACLU. It saw it void and it filled in a big way.

Through Open Trackback Fests, and starting its own Carnival, Stop the ACLU is helping create a sense of community on the web. Its going to be a powerful force in the blogosphere for years to come. Stop the ACLU is accessible, intelligently written and provides a forum for Conservatives to air their views.

Its a success story that shows in America, in the 21st Century, and in the blogosphere, you can still achieve anything you put your mind to. Its my honor and privilege to nominate "Stop the ACLU" for Best New Blog.

I also nominated this one for best milblog.

http://officersclub.blogspot.com

Of course, Pooch Master (www.PoochMaster.blogspot.com ) is clearly in the running as one of this year's Best New Blogs. This pro-dog blog, with a political slant, demonstrates how mainstream politics affects us all... even to the point of owning a dog! This web blog is written by Sam Basso, a Professional Dog Trainer & Behaviorist. He is also a solid conservative, who points out, time and again, how the Far Left Wing and Far Right Wing wackos are harming everyone. Free enterprise, national defense, nationalism, immigration... and of course, responsible dog ownership... are all discussed in interesting and unique detail. One of his columns has already been excerpted at www.RealClearPolitics.com

Try going to www.PoochMaster.blogspot.com and see for yourself. This is an excellent new blog, and should be considered in this competition.

For those who are tired of the relentless partisan diatribe of so many political blogs, Oval Office 2008 is an oasis of dispassionate moderation and impartial observation with a dose of wit and sarcasm.

Since January, Oval Office 2008 has been commenting on all the news about the next US presidential election - all from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Already mentioned on CNN and MSNBC, Oval Office 2008 is for those who want to know, rather than be told what to think.

Ivory Power
http://ivorypower.com
http://ivorypower.com/blog/?feed=rss2

A funny name, original logo, and a unique idea. Josh is an Asian American who's sick of false-dichotomy in politics and provoked by how Hugh Hewitt overrated the blogosphere by writing a book of thin content. Thus he created Ivory Power, a blog co-written with his best friend and debater in politics Dick. (Debates between the 2 are sometimes even live on the blog)

The interesting thing is Josh is ultraconservative and anti-war on the side of Pat Buchanan, JBS. He's openly anti-Zionist and isn't afraid to defend racist hate speech in the name of freedom. It's a very new blog and might not be popular among neoconservatives (thus possibly bad to run as a "conservative" nominee)

The Bluegrass Blog

Daily news briefings with commentary. Updates at least 2x daily. Covers all aspects of national politics and does so without selling out to either side.

Red Meat offers news and perspectives from a well read informed source. He doesn't pull any punches. Like O'Reilly, Rick loves to expose the ironies from all sides.

Mazurland Blog is written by three brothers. It has a mix of maturity (which some of the blogs that are obviously written by 25 year olds lack), immaturity (for their ages), puckishness, seriousness, on a wide range of topics, that many blogs can't touch.

They also have a shameless plug for votes.

The highest impact new blog is Unclaimed Territory by Glenn Greenwald. He literally writes 2 or 3 long, extremely well-written political essays a day, and they end up being quoted everywhere.

Only about a month old, and relatively unknown to the blogging world, but it provides a great place to procrastinate. Not a serious blog, but rather a humorous collection of rants, random observations, movie lists, and more.

Title: Ancient Eyes for Current Times
http://ancienteyesforcurrenttimes.blogspot.com/
http://ancienteyesforcurrenttimes.blogspot.com/atom.xml

Mr. Geiger is witty, insightful, hard-hitting and a breath of fresh air. As a decorated veteran, his political comments carry weight, and his take-no-prisoners style is much needed these days. Read him and take action.

I nominate Theodore's World.

http://www.theodoresworld.net

The blog is informative and also the owner uses a lot of graphics which makes it even better for eye appeal. It is not cluttered and has a clean and organized look to it.

http://thefellclutchofcircumstance.blogspot.com/

A witty mix of politics, common sense, and profanity.

Alas, I nominate myself, as shameless as that may be:

http://www.the-reaction.blogspot.com/

The Reaction is a new, liberal-to-moderate blog that aims for intelligent, provocative, and well-written commentary on politics, culture, and philosophy.
