conservative recommendations sought

it's time to add a couple of new inputs to my political reading list. not "news" sources, but commentary, well-informed private individuals writing about the way they see the world.

if you know of a good conservative weblog, please share it.

how do i define "good"? it needs to be populated by people who can think outside the usual boxes -- i don't want to read rightwing rantage, i want to read thoughtful posts from a predominantly conservative viewpoint. religious is ok, evangelical christian probably not, but i am willing to be surprised.

if you're not sure what i mean by thoughtful versus rantage, phrases like "morally empty appeasement weasel gerhard schroeder", and "david duke digs mother sheehan" don't indicate thoughtful posts in my world.

American conservatives okay? Try Andrew Sullivan's blog (http://www.andrewsullivan.com/). He's conservative and openly homosexual, which has lead to some rather sad posts in the past -- he left the Republican party in a big way last year when he finally twigged that Bush was happy to sell GLBT Republicans up the river for votes. Also, Dan Savage posts there. I should pay lots more attention than they did.
