5 Best Conservative News Sites

I used to watch news religiously. I haven’t in a long time. One, I don’t have cable. So, that makes it hard. Two, it’s much easier to read the most important pieces of news. With the social media, it is a no-brainer. Three, news on TV is about ratings. I think when people put their words to paper (screen) it makes them more succinct.

Here are the 5 Best Conservative News Sites (Not Ranked):

Breitbart News

About:

Founded in 2005 by conservative icon Andrew Breitbart, Breitbart News Network is the largest source of breaking news, analysis, thought-leading commentary, and original reporting curated and written specifically for the new generation of independent and conservative thinkers. Breitbart News is guided by a very simple principle: find and report the truth because truth is the most direct path to accountability.

Conservative Review

About:

At some point or another, every voter has felt like they have been duped – sold a fake bill of goods. Politicians and candidates run ads telling conservatives what they want to hear because campaign ads, like it or not, work. Politicians are selling a product, themselves, to you the voter.

To cut through the talking points and the smoke and mirrors, Conservative Review® employs two main tools: the Liberty Score® and our conservative commentary.

We Have A Problem

He was not crazy. This was a methodical, calculating person who committed a heinous act. Because when you say he was a crazy person, you give him a pass. You allow the field to be set for you without taking the time to analyze what occurred. Step back and assess for yourself.
 
These are the facts: the man moved across the country, stayed off the radar, stalked his prey, analyzed facts, planned his action, and then carried it out. Does that sound like the work of a crazy person? No, I disagree. The actions show forethought, intelligence, and purpose. While I disagree with the assessment of crazy; I do agree that the actions were heinous, disgraceful, and uncalled for.
 
The Left will try to change the narrative. Force the public to think this man was crazy. But when you look deep you see that he was one of their stooges. This was a political assassination. Not a crazed madman on the loose. But a person who held specific political beliefs and acted on those beliefs with the barrel of a gun.
 
Could we have stopped this from happening? Everything I’ve read says yes, but I disagree. Anyone willing to lose his life in service to his beliefs is a formidable foe. Thinking and speaking harsh rhetoric does not make you a criminal, terrorist, or someone on a watchlist. It is your actions that should be suspect. Nothing that this individual did in the lead up to this disgraceful act was cause for concern. He moved from his home state to another state – so what. He posted on Facebook angry remarks about conservatives – big deal. Over and over his actions itemized do not warrant concern.
 
Let’s step back, speak the truth. One man committed a heinous act of violence in the name of an ideology.
 
And I know everyone will blame the gun. C’mon, can we please stop? The gun is not the problem here. Whether it was a gun, knife, or truck the perpetrator would have committed his act of violence. We need to get past this. The most important thing I learned from this act is that heroism exists. The two police officers acted with valor and honor. Responding with extreme violence while outgunned and in an ambush. This should be our focus. The heroic actions of these police officers. To the men and women in blue, I salute you. Thank you for your service.
