Is strikes me that LIBERTARIANS HAVE THE BEST WEB-LOGS. This is a refinement of what happens in the journals of opinion, where right-wingers have the best commentators, but where there are witty and bright conservatives as well as libertarians. (Though, there, too, conservatism is in retreat-- cf. National Review's increasing acceptance of modern mores, and the reluctance of commentators to forthrightly defend conservative social positions without retreating to feeble excuses like "It's just my religion.") But I haven't seen many conservative web-logs, and while the ones I have seen are not necessarily less intelligent or interesting than the libertarian ones, they are not maintained as regularly and are not as cheerfully opinionated. I suppose it is the nature of the people most attracted to the Web. Probably there are some good evangelical web-logs I don't know about, though--- evangelicals certainly have taken to the Web for posting religion texts and tracts.
