Why Do I Blog?

J.J. Jackson* | September 27, 2006

Someone asked me today why I blog and about all things politics. The answer is simple. There is a lot of bad things going on in this country and around the world and people need to be made aware of them.

Blogging gets a bad rap from people two fronts. The first front is the people that don’t want information to be freely distributed and want to control said information. These people don’t want people to find out that the ACLU is trying to prevent private citizens from building a Katrina memorial which includes a cross on private land. These people don’t want the knowledge that yes indeed we have found Sarin and Mustard Gas in Iraq since we toppled Saddam Hussein. These people don’t want to have their own opinions scrutinized and hate it when someone else points out that their memos about President Bush’s military service were blatant forgeries.

The other front that gives us a bad name are blogs like the Daily KOSs of the world spewing vile lies and hate based upon those lies. They don’t simply report and comment on the news of the day but work so hard to spin everything to their advantage even when it is not.

I blog to help counter both of these problems; to expose what is going on in little reported stories and to provide opinions that are at least rooted in some facts. I blog because if I (and others) did not these voices would go largely unanswered and America would be done a huge disservice and opinions would be based on false information which is exactly the way those that would like to be in power want.
