Got Hillary? Want her? Four BIG INTELLIGENT BLOGS YOU SHOULD BE READING RIGHT NOW! The Confluence, Taylor Marsh, No Quarter and Savage Politics.

Make your voice count by commenting on these esteemed, well-written, fact finding, truthtelling blogs.

My take on the four of them:

First, THE CONFLUENCE.

This is a modern feminist’s dreamblog.  Women writers banded together under “Riverdaughter” and this is one of the biggest PRO-HILLARY places in the web.  You will find tremendous support for your own voice in the comments section, and grass roots support like an old fashioned quilting bee, except, no quilts!  Just cocktails…It’s a little like a place for gossip, friends, strong women, working women, and DEEPLY DEMOCRATIC women.  Sometimes it’s hilarious, other times deadly serious.  There are straight and gay and lesbian people supporting this blog as well.  Which makes it democratic!  You can also get inside information about the election here.  Some of them are heavily involved in politics, and you can trust the opinions here.  I just love who they are, and what they stand for.  Also, Riverdaughter has many links off this blog to other great writers and sites for Hillary Clinton you may not know about.  I check in with their writing daily, sometimes even before the newspaper!

Second, TAYLOR MARSH.

What I like about Taylor is her truthfulness.  She always gets emotional about her husband, and I really like her Jackson Pollack style signature.  You can feel Taylor’s heart in her words.  This place is like grand central station there are so many comments when she writes/rights things.  She has even met Hillary Clinton in person.  You can also listen to her, live.  She is just a straight up Democrat, and she isn’t afraid to be honest or probe things she sees as issues in this election.  (I learned about her from Riverdaughter, by the way!) Taylor is a feminist in action, from what we call the “Second Wave.”  If you need a role model for what feminism looks like?  Taylor is a great place to start.

Third, NO QUARTER.

I love these people too.  The two main people are Larry and Susan UnPC, but they have a host of other writers as well that you can get to know and love.  No Quarter is about National Security, no holds barred.  These are deep thinkers who can also crack jokes and write at levels all Americans can understand.  They come from all kinds of various fields, and they are some of the most informed commentators as well.  No Quarter is also supportive of gay and lesbian issues, as is Hillary Clinton.  They are BOLD, INTELLIGENT and informed.  They will get the facts, or get at the facts that you need to read about.  They welcome comments from all kinds of people, and millions read them.  (I learned about Flineo from them.  Flineo makes great political videos.  My favorite thing about NO QUARTER, they know what is RIGHT and what is WRONG, and they are going to inform you about that.

Fourth, SAVAGE POLITICS.

Savage Politics is just plain SMART.  In fact, they are so SMART over there that they leave no stone unturned when it comes to deep intellectual editorials.  The two main writers are Lin Farley and J. Cifre.  When I want the truth about something I didn’t know, I look to J. C.  When I want deeply moving, deeply truthful editorials I look to Lin Farley.  Damn can she write.  The night I found their site I was exhausted by the blogosphere’s lack of informed journalism.  When I first read them, they were music to my ears.  Anyone who wants “real” journalists, go to Savage Politics.  They also have very intelligent comments, and the people who comment there oftentimes have additional, important links and feedback.  J. C. goes deep to find out the truths about Obama.  I have learned more from Savage Politics than from any of the other blogs because they are doing investigative reporting.  Savage Politics goes where mainstream media fears to tread.  Like No Quarter, they reveal the TRUTH. In a word, penetrating journalism.

Those are my main four reads, all great, different flavors, different audiences, different topics.  I am beyond grateful for these four blogs.  I feel like I have made friends with Democratic thinkers when I read them.  All four have tremendous integrity, and I didn’t list them in order of importance to me because in my mind they are all equal.  Don’t miss them.

Obama tarnishes Democrats, the American Presidency with “Obama for President Incorporated.”

We have talked a lot about the target marketing and use of propaganda by Axelrod but this takes the cake.  His “just words” — you decide.  Is it ethical to register words and incorporate the American Presidency?  No.

The Presidency in our country is a sacred thing.

Read all about it at No Quarter, in New Hampster’s piece.

“Obama is a registered trademark and Hope and Change are Trademarks of Obama for President Incorporated.”

After watching the fantastic PBS documentary on FDR, one of our greatest Democrats and Presidents ever, and contrasting it with this?  This is the most revolting, disgusting, lowly, cheap shot I have ever seen in my life.  The FEC, and President Bush should have something to say about all of this to our country.  The American Presidency is the highest office in the land.  It is not a set of “trademarked” words, nor is it for sale.

President, Incorporated?  You should be ashamed of tarnishing the legacy of FDR and every American President who has ever held office.  Were you planning to trademark his Fireside Chats, too?  Were you planning to sell them, as you are selling your speech on Race?

Here are all of our American Presidents.  Not one of them trademarked themselves, or the Office of the Presidency.
