Conservative blogosphere roundup

It's the first day of Daylight Savings Time 2010 and we awakened to half the clocks set on DST and the others still on EST.

SWAC bloggers
On the calendar spring is six days away and many are ready for it after the prolonged, snow-filled winter of 2009-10.

And no one is more ready than Fishersville Mike who has been waiting for weeks for the start of baseball season. Also be sure to check out his Sunday morning roundup of some of the best writings in the blogosphere.

Augusta Water Cooler enjoyed the warm air coming in the window while looking at snow on the mountains and thanking God for all He has provided.

Yankee Phil reminds us of the great work the Boy Scouts of America do in preparing our youth to be productive young men as he congratulates the two newest SWAC area Eagle Scouts. Thanks to Phil for his work with the BSA.

The Journey has his latest weekly issue of THYME Magazine ... Citizen Journalism with a Better Flavor and suggests that the U.S. not limit itself to only 10 ideas (as suggested by another magazine). Great reading if you've not checked it out before.

I think Augusta Conservative is still in winter hibernation with no new posts the past three weeks ... but he will be back.

Virginia blogosphere
Bearing Drift kicked off a new online magazine this week featuring an exclusive interview with Gov. Bob McDonnell.

Virginia Right! unleashed the News Hound on the Virginia blogosphere ... and became the newest member of the Jeffersoniad Bloggers.

Virginia Virtucon continues to point out the hypocrisy of the Washington Post ... good job, Riley.

Right-Wing Liberal calls attention to the Democrat maneuvering to try and pass health care without passing health care and warns, "We will not allow you to hide your vote in parliamentary jelly roll."

The Bulletproof Monk lists all the issues in the health care bill that you don't know about and says, "No wonder Pelosi wants to keep you from reading the bill!"

The Write Side of My Brain continues with posts for Lent 2010.

Sean Kenney reminds us of the ongoing civil war in Liberia. That's Supervisor Kenney....

The Contemporary Conservative is out with a flurry of posts including one that points out the privacy-starved world we live in with all the networking tools at our finger tips.

Citizen Tom has video and commentary about a military flyover that was denied for the first time after 42 years by the Obama White House and, though a story that is from last summer, it reminds us that we must preserve our American heritage.

From On High notes Newsweek's recognition -- finally -- of President George W. Bush's part in keeping America safe after 9/11 and reminds us, "He never wavered. He never faltered. He never surrendered. Despite all the naysayers. Including a host of whiners at Newsweek."

Two Conservatives says, "I have NEVER been as afraid for our country as I am today. Of course, I never would have suspected that our elected officials would propose, and our media would accept, the idea that a bill can be passed without voting on it." Hear, hear.

National blogosphere
The Other McCain has seen thousands of Americans turning out to protest the proposed health care bill that Democrats are trying to jam down our throats and is amazed that Dems appear determined to stay on their maddening path regardless of the fact America does not want it. Reminds me of the Augusta supervisors' reaction to 1,000 citizens last year....

And So It Goes In Shreveport has her spring break edition of a Full Metal Jacket Wrap Around. She also has thoughts about the government health care bill that just won't die.

Hot Air took note of the small turnout for the liberal "coffee parties" that were supposed to take place over the weekend with some interesting comments from coffee party attendees who are, you know, the "tolerant" ones in this country....

Red State calls attention to "the crack cocaine that is the nanny state" and says health care socialization is just the latest from the Democrat drug lords.

And, finally, American Power disputes the coffee party claims that they are not "anti-tea party" and says, " The 'coffee parties' are explicitly anti-tea party, or they wouldn't have adopted an alternative beverage for their identity." Thanks for the link, Donald!
