I couldn't stay away from Politics, Please Review New blog

Discussion in 'Reviews' started by hmansfield, Jul 13, 2009.

    I had a Political blog during the 2008 campaign that started doing well but let it slip because of work on other projects.

    I've been itching to get back in the game, so here it is.
    It's very basic, just a few alterations to a free theme, but I am interested in opinions on it's presentation.

    I also thought I'd give adsense another shot before I swore it off completely.

    The link

    Love the presentation. The tag line is great too - "Unfair, unbalances, unequiv....."

    Not sure what happens when you have more content - will their be categories? because otherwise the user is stuck relying on 'related posts' to find similar stories on the article content???

    Yeah, but I'm going to keep it simple, maybe 5 categories and rely on tags and the search function for readers to access specific subject matter.

    I do have the "related posts" plug in installed as well.

    Taglines great. Domains great. Content's great. I think you need to write one REALLY CONTROVERSIAL post, and you'd be famous.

    Decent looking, could use some work.

    Also could use some better content instead of the brainwashing material that msm preaches on there.

    Well, it's pretty much political opinion, as is stated everywhere plainly, so since I own it, I'm guessing I can write what ever I want.
    What is "MSM" ?

    Oh. Gotcha. Well, I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, and I am a proud, opinionated Liberal Democrat, so I actually like the pundits on MSNBC and CNN, and love cracking fun at Republican and GOP analyst. That's pretty much what it's all about, making fun of the other pundits.
    There is just too much humor in politics....it's like watching spoiled kids on a playground.

    But I will make fun of anyone, no matter what network they work for.

    It is a main stream media blog, I'm not trying to be The Daily Koz or anything.

    Oh dear :S.

    You believe and still support the two party system, federal reserve, communism :|. Sure there is humor in politics, there is also many puppets who are put in their place to get certain jobs/agendas complete. That's one of your main problems, you're blaming one side and agreeing to the other. Why not form an opinion that is not diluted by controlled media or the propaganda that is being spoon fed to you?

    Hey, I believe what I believe. I'm not all of anything. I actually have my own educated opinion as hard as that is too understand when someone doesn't feel the way you do.

    But the fact that this is more of a review of my politics, and not the blog itself, is a good indication that I am doing a good job with it.

    Thanks :)

    I like your site.

    I suppose the colours are patriotic? If that's the emotional message you want to create, then you have succeeded.

    Good work!
