Information

Blog Name: Motley Moose
Url: http://www.motleymoose.com/
Language: English
Topics: progressive, thought, politics
Description: Born from the ashes of the 2008 Democratic primary wars, the Moose was created by twenty-five active political bloggers, including a healthy mix of long-time Obama supporters, 'Clintonistas', centrists, and a few former Republicans. Motley Moose has grown far beyond those original 25 bloggers, becoming a 'home base' for many long time political bloggers as well as new bloggers. We have built a strong community on which the success of the blog rests, and we believe that one blog, one blogger, can make a difference…the ripple from one tossed pebble can a tsunami make. In separating ourselves from the political blog herd, we set out to build a new place to gather with clear lines of moderation that fostered a strong community promoting reasoned discourse and well-researched diaries, along with a healthy dose of snark and dry wit. We welcome and encourage diversity in opinion and discussion, and we strive for progress through political discourse rather than to see any given ideology proven correct. Like President Obama, we believe that our great nation is not divided into red states and blue states, so we choose purple as our color, representing the perfect blending of red and blue. We have found our niche in the political blog world, and we invite you to join the discussion! Motley Moose promotes Progressive values and believes that fighting for their institution will pave the way to a stronger, more united nation.
