Conservatives I Like (but don’t necessarily agree with) and Therefore Listen To

In the spirit of bipartisan cooperation and understanding I came up with this list of Conservatives voices I "like" and enjoy listening to (even though I don’t necessarily agree with them) because they present logical rather than just emotional partisan arguments. In other words listening to them my head doesn’t necessarily explode:

• David Brooks
• George Will
• David Broder
• David Frum
• Pat Buchanan
• Paul Gigot
• Joe Scarborough
• Irving Kristol
• William Kristol
• Peggy Noonan
• Kathleen Parker
• Thomas Sowell
• Walter E. Williams
• Dennis Prager
• Newt Gingrich (Struck from ths list Monday, September 13, 2010 Read about it here.)
• Megan McArdle (Libertarian)

…to name a few. I also once enjoyed reading the late Jeane Kirkpatrick and I often read and still read William F. Buckley’s & his National Review. My late father was a big fan of Barry Goldwater so I’ve read both material about him and by him.

So far I’ve managed to resist publishing my list of the conservatives I can’t stand, think are repulsive and vulgar, and think aren’t worth listening too but it will be coming one of these days.
