Trends On The Current Conservative News Blog

By Lila Bryant


It is common for people to advocate for change in political philosophies, economic policies and social behaviors. This is not the case with conservatives. They prefer remaining in same positions forever. Many sources of news have preferred different genres of news for their daily readers, viewers and even listeners. The current conservative news blog whose founders are based in New York City chose specializing in writing conservative news to its followers.

Precisely, this blog presents conservative news to its readers touching on American politics, religion and world news. Most of this news is critical of decisions that do not go in line with conservative beliefs and philosophies. Apart from these major areas, it also looks at history, culture, American values, principles and standpoints on various key issues in the world.

The blog mostly takes a critical perspective of issues facing the American society. In one instance, it sought to know whether President Obama was really born Christian. It also questions why he never proves to be one. It goes even further to thoughtfully question his inability to convince Americans that he was and still is constitutionally American.

It looks at the handling of all the wars that America has been involved in. Writers on this blog criticize these wars as having been costly to the economy of America when it was not worth it. They also criticize Obama in one of their post for pretending not to know anything about the wars, or being involved in them when they knew everything about them.

Another article criticizes lack of accountability in all governments. This article argues that it is difficult for a government to be run in absolute accountability to the citizens. The writers give an illustration of this by alluding to the sweet promises given by politicians who want to be presidents only to disappoint their subjects a short while later. Worse still, they do not even try putting what they promise into practice. Still on accountability, Sarah Palin was once quoted criticizing President Obama for his failure to hold officials accountable due to his laziness.

World news on this blog covers many areas that talk about issues in other continents. It touches on social practices, economic strategies and problems, politics and diseases among other affairs in other parts of the world. One article, for example, narrates the story of Islamic Brotherhood members who died after an attack by the Libyan military officers.

Among the social issues handled on this news blog are; sexual mistreatment, marriage between members of the same sex, diseases and other issues. In an article one writer has narrated a story involving six brothers accused of sexually abusing their sister. Writers also wrote an article touching on homosexuality. This article, like all other articles, takes a contemptuous dimension of the issue. It condemns the preference people have given to modernism instead of real teachings from the bible. Accordingly to the writer, the bible forewarns anyone who engages in these practices.

It can, therefore, be conclusively said that this blog is a blog for radicalized people who believe in traditionalism and rigidity to change. They are against most things happening with the pretext of modernism. They believe that most things go wrong because of the desire for change among people.
