ESR doesn't know what it's like on the liberal side, but we conservatives
do have it lucky on the web. We have a number of web sites that serve
as our central hubs: FreeRepublic.com, WorldNetDaily, Lucianne.com. Included
on that list is Townhall.com, one of the first conservative portals on
the World Wide Web.
And
what a portal is it. If you haven't visited, Townhall.com counts a large
number of high profile web sites as its members, sites like ESR
favourites Tech Central Station the Federalist Digest, The Heritage Foundation
(which runs Townhall.com), Weekly Standard, Accuracy in Media, Mises Institute,
National Review and the Friedman Foundation, among other worthy names.
Townhall.com -- which describes itself as "a one-stop mall of ideas
-- also provides daily commentaries from writers like George Will, Amity
Shlaes, news wires, updated issues libraries and live audio and video
links. The web site even offers a Yahoo!-like directory of conservative
organizations, a sub-site that received our Site of the Month award in
March 2000.
There isn't much that you need to be a conservative activist that you
can't find on Townhall.com or one of its member sites and is a worthy
addition to your bookmarks, if it isn't there already.
