I have updated my blogroll, adding a few new names to the Liberal Side, and a bit of clean up on the conservative side...had to delete a few blogs that haven't posted in months. OpenMinded Republican, where are you?! Also, I deleted a few that refuse to respond intelligently without insults or ad hominem, (Mike's America, I'm calling you out)...
If anyone feels like they should be added, let me know.

I try to make at least one blog entry a week and others as the need arises. Life is so busy that I don't always have time to do a good job and I refuse to put forth a bad blog entry.
I may be slow but I hope it is worth it.
Thanks for including me on your list.
I understand the need to redo the list every once in a while. I try not to keep it too big because I try and hit everyone when they come up with something new. Not all successful due to time, but I try! :-)
I used to visit Mike's America and refute most of the stuff he posts. His reaction was always to call me "Commie Shaw." Heh!
There's no point in trying to discuss anything with an 8-year old.
But your idea to weed out defunct sites or those sites that don't engage in adult discussion is a very good one.
Ablur, no problemo. I've been busy, too, and haven't posted much. Plus, the partisan bickering has annoyed me so much I just haven't had the energy to keep up with blogging.
Jennifer: I know that one too! That's why I had to go through the list yesterday and delete ones I never went to or ones that just seemed to do nothing but harp.
Shaw: Yeah, last time I went to Mike's place they ganged up on me, calling me a commie, telling me I hate america, accusing every refutation of being from Soros...you know, the same. Oh, and then they said that since I'm college educated that I'm a socialist because university's are full of commie professors and I've been brainwashed. Right, the problem is education. We don't need no stinkin' edumacation! Git 'er done!
glad i still made the cut...
if you want, you can add my other blog,
ailministry.blogspot.com
I only publish once a month, and it is not political by any means, as you know. it's up to you james.
Sure Dave! But now I have to make a new category!
I breathed a sigh of relief to see I was still on your list James.
I don't know if I've ever visited Mike's America. It sounds like fun but I have enough blogs to keep me occupied.
James,
I'm not sure you'd want to blogroll someone who engages in this. I consider it cyberbullying, and I have reported it to Blogger. I think he's crossed the line here. I have absolutely NO contact with this blogger, and he's banned from coming to my blog, yet he continues to attack me, and now he's using sexual images to attack me.
Isn't it time that bloggers of good will put a stop to this out of control slander?
Our friend and colleague, Shaw, has had a recurrence of cancer. This is her second bout in as many years. This year, Shaw has suffered other setbacks as well. Earlier this year, her sister passed away. And she worries about another family member who is gravely ill.
On top of this run of bad luck, Shaw is also being harassed by a cyber-bully. I can’t think of anything more hurtful … to be attacked at a time like this.
Shaw and I exchanged several e-mails earlier today. With her knowledge and permission, I have put up this post, Stop the sadistic and sexist cyber-bullying now!.
Please drop by and leave a kind word for Shaw. She is a good person who deserves our support.
Hi James, I've been away for a little bit. But I'm back and I'm glad I'm still on your blogroll. You are a true class act, James, and one I respect and admire. You always conduct yourself honorably. And I enjoy your posts. I just wanted to tell you that, in case I haven't.
I'm glad to see that the post was taken down.
Thanks Pamela. It does mean something to me. I haven't been wanting to post anything much lately due to all the bickering back and forth, and just absolute nastiness. Just haven't felt the blogging bug recently.
James, I do hope you keep blogging. The Internet is much in need of moderate voices, and it would be darn shame to let belligerent people bully you off the stage. We just need to pick our compatriots more carefully.
