The Truth Will Prevail

This blog's author, Neil, is in the real estate business out in North Carolina and does some political and satire writing on the side. He takes his political views very seriously but quite the sense of humor he occasionally throws into his posts. Neil is a regular contributor on PoliticalDerby.com with some contributions on AmericanThinker.com as well. He is also responsible for Obama's Blackberry and the Detainee Four blogs. It's nice to see him putting his blogging talents to good use.

On "The Truth Will Prevail," he focuses on his more serious opinions of the current political topics which remain strictly conservative. Neill tries to covers common items of interest - Obama's speeches, Biden's commentary, policy proposals, etc. - but tries to do so from a more unique perspective than what you would find in typical news stories or other blogs. He does a great job at providing deep and thorough explanation of his thoughts in all of his posts which also remain easy to follow and understand for those who aren't as familiar with the topics.

This blog comes highly recommended for someone looking for some well written conservative philosophies on current political events. Neil is sure to continue to provide the same quality work time after time so go check out his blog.

Scott's Slant on Politics

Politcal Derby

Political Derby was started back in 2005 by author and consultant Jason Wright who has written political op/ed pieces in many publications, and has done a few appearances on TV touting his political opinions. He's quite the politics junkie and wanted to start a site to track the presidential race for 2008. The site started out fairly balanced, having both political spectrums and their potential nominees represented fairly well. That representation includes the good, the bad, the ugly, and often the humorous. There are quite a few contributors to PD as well which offers a variety of perspectives.

Once the 2008 race was decided, the bloggers took a turn to the more conservative side. And while the 2012 race is still a few years out, they're already tracking the potential candidates in their Power Rankings. Since there isn't much news floating around about the next presidential race at this point in time, most of the blog contributions lately are about relevant political topics like health care reform, changes in the current administration, notable events, political reactions, etc. Most of the comments are fairly kind, definitely sway conservative (not strictly though), but can get a little heated on occasion.

There's a feeling of camaraderie on PD since a lot of those that follow it have done so for quite a while so they're well acquainted with each other. They're pretty welcoming to new followers too. They also have little competitions now and then that people can participate in such as fantasy football groups, NCAA March Madness (which I've won two years in a row), etc.

So if you're interested in the more conservative side of politics, this blog is a must. It can be appreciated by most anyone with a sense of humor, at least some knowledge about what's going on in the political world, and likes to enjoy opinions from others.
