Below is a guest editorial by Taste of Liberty.

It seems the visible media and press are perplexed at the phenomena of what has become known as the blogosphere.

Perhaps some observations might help to shed some light.

It can be observed that the blogging phenomenon lies at its root on Main Street. This is where the collective wisdom and intelligence resides in most countries of the world. Oddly enough, the brilliance of America does not reside in the halls of journalism schools or academia, nor in Hollywood nor in those plastered on the television set, but in the day to day lives of those who occupy the highways and byways of Yourtown, America. This is Blogtown. It is the collective genius of those who make America, and many other countries, work.

These are the folks with “down home” values. These are the folks who risk savings and lives to keep their community and businesses chugging along. These are the folks who depend on honesty to be the glue that keeps their communities and organizations strong.
These are the folks who know and see the synthetic, the artificial, and the sham. These are the folks who care about freedom and love and honest compassion. These are the folks who are getting sick and tired of being shut out and ridiculed and conned. These are the folks who are smarter, more creative and have greater ambition than their detractors in the artificial world of the elitists. In short, these are the folks who make this world tick.

The conservative success Rush Limbaugh, along with others, has tapped this phenomenon. By his own admission Rush wasn’t offering anything new and brilliant. He was just tapping into what was already there but it had no voice. Blogtown is the next phase of this journey. Blogtown is the collective wisdom shouting “enough is enough”. The folks who make this world tick are getting sick and tired of left wing puppet elitists lying to us, deceiving us, trying to intimidate us, constantly ridiculing everything we on Main Street value, and pretending like they are the Supreme rulers of all that is. We are tired of their corruption, their treason, their hate, their fabrications, their calculated distortions, their constant unjustifiable negativity. Blogtown knows these folks are untrustworthy. And Blogtown knows that the world is much different from that which the elitists try to paint.

Blogtown is awakening. It is the non-violent revolution of Main Street. And, like the freedom that it represents, it will knock down the walls of the elitists wallowing in their ivory towers and perching smugly on their pontification platforms.

After all, I’d much rather hear what my neighbor has to say than some marginally intelligent smugface on some hyperventilating t.v. set acting like he/she/it is the ultimate know-it-all. We in Blogtown know otherwise.

UPDATE: Adding this to OTB’s Linkfest, also, there’s quite an interesting post over at JustOneMinute titled “The Battle for the Blogosphere.”
