It used to be prohibited to post links to Little Green Footballs at Harry's Place. Now each site cites the other. Quite right too. They have both been conscientiously spotlighting Islamist lunacy and anti-Semitism for years now.
Harry's Place is left of centre and LGF is still broadly right, but both are distinguished, in this sea of mire, by one salient quality: they're sane. Blair's Law states that all the lunacies of the world are converging into one vast lunacy. A glance at The Guardian's website will confirm that. If the world's sanities have started converging, that can only be a good thing.

Convergence of the sane

I remember Gates of Vienna feuding with LGF over whether or not to ally with European Nationalist groups and over the use of the Celtic Cross symbol, and then the subsequent fight between GOV and Dr Sanity.
It was a bit like the split between the Judean Peoples' Front and the Popular Front of Judea!
I might be most accurately described as a classical liberal, pro-Israel, a deist who feels at home going to a Christian church with my fiancee, and someone who hates the BNP but agrees with them on the subject of withdrawal from the EU, and would vote for them in the European elections if there wasn't a UKIP candidate I could vote for.
Looking at my bookmarked blogs, there's no-one I've ever agreed with 100% of the time. Surely disagreement over one or two issues should never prevent people with a common cause in a particular area from working together.

It shouldn't, no. But the perfect has ever been the enemy of the good.
That said, LGF has been fighting some pretty off battles lately...
Since the world insanities find it pretty easy to unite, what you say about uniting the sanities sounds, well, sane.
