Michelle Malkin

Although the headlines at MichelleMalkin.com may seem a little extreme at first glance sometimes, the stories usually back them up with well-researched acts delivered in a humorous and in-your-face tone. Never one to back down from a controversy, Malkin will analyze a story from a varity of different angles and take on critics with a ferocious intensity. She has an amazing ability to cut right to the heart of an issue and do away with moral ambiguities. Hers is one of the more important young voices in the modern conservative movement, which makes her site, by extension one of the movement's more important ones as well.

Hugh Hewitt

He's a professor, a lawyer and a natinoally syndicated radio show host. Hugh Hewitt's blog is one of the most popular conservative blogs on the Intenet.

Andrew Breitbart at Big Hollywood

A self-described Reagan Republican and Libertarian sympathizer, Andrew Breitbart is one of the more well-known conservative bloggers, with blogs at Big Hollywood and Breitbart.tv. His blogs often make news as much as they comment on it. Who can forget his famous $100,000 rewards for footage of racial epithets being hurled at Black lawmakers during the health care debate on Capitol Hill, or his release of the controversial Shirley Sherrod video, which resulted in the reactionary firing of the former rural development director for the U.S. Department of Agriculture by the Obama administration? To omit his blog from any list of the top conservative blogs would be pure folly.

IMAO (which stands for In My Arrogant Opinion) is a blog unlike any other. Consider it's tag line: "Unfair. Unbalanced. Unmedicated." The main author of the site is Frank J., who says he started the "humorous blog" in 2002. It is updated several times a day, and although Frank J. is the site's main draw, other conservative bloggers offer interesting takes on a variety of topics. IMAO.us is a great place to go if you're a conservative with a funny bone.

Taki's Magazine

Although the founder of TakiMag.com, Taki Theodoracopulos calls his site a "Liberatarian webzine," the site's impressive collection of bloggers includes a who's who of intellectual and high-profile conservatives like Paul Gottfried, who coined the term "paleoconservative" and Patrick J.
