Right wing blogs, on the other hand, are editorial in nature and self referential in their citations of fact. For instance, redstate may cite a Heritage Foundation “study’ to butress an argument, without mentioning an EPI study which contradicts it. Some right wing sites simply assert facts which are not reality based. The rhetoric is simply slogans and assertions of opinion. And the commenters simply express approval. Posts which cite alternate facts or conclusions never make it onto the comment boards or are quickly deleted. Left wing blogs publish and discuss arguments, contradictions, etc.

Demographics also contradict you. The generation 18-29 is overwhelmingly liberal and Democratic. This generation is the first raised with computers and is amazingly tech savvy.

IMHO, conservatism is widely perceived as an intellectually vapid excuse for the destruction of the social and ethical conventions which made this country great. And the more you read conservative blogs, the more clearly you can see the logical fallacies, straw man arguments, and misrepresentations used to justify its deluded conclusions. That, in a nutshell, is why the net is the bane of conservatism. As long as reality based information is accessible on the net, conservatism is dead.
