The decreasing quality of the Blogging Tories.
Seems like some on the left don't like the quality of the Blogging Tories these days.
Rather than engaging in a blogwar, I'll simply offer my view here.

What is really encouraging is that the community is made up of a diverse group of opinions. Virtually every viewpoint from the right is represented and a vibrant discussion and debate is being carried on, all without the typical labels such as 'Red Tory' and 'Socon' being tossed around. Collaborations, both on and offline are being formed as a result of relationships made through BT. This can only be a good thing for the Conservative Party.
Stephen Taylor and Craig Smith have volunteered thier time and money to provide this focal point for Conservatives everywhere in Canada. That it is growing and improving day by day is a testament to their work.
Personally, I enjoy reading the wide range of opinions here. I'm heartened to see that we have many MPs and Candidates blogging. This kind of outreach by our MPs and candidates is further proof that the party has nothing to hide. Our people are putting themselves out there and encouraging Canadians to get involved. This kind of frank and open discussion can only be good for the party and good for all Canadians.
Rather than stifling debate and demanding rank and file obedience as the NDP does, Conservatives value the exercise of debate and discussion. As the only party with a policy of Free Votes for it's MPs, the Conservatives are leading the way in re-energizing the worth of each and every MP. Blogging Tories is doing much the same in offering grassroots Conservatives a venue to make their voice heard. And let me be very clear...

It is being heard!
To all my fellow Blogging Tories - keep up the good work. The rhetoric being pushed from the left tells me your efforts are having an affect. They get very worried when the average Canadian actually starts forming opinions of their own, rather than what they 'should be thinking'.
