"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." --C.S. Lewis

Convention Blogging

Conservative bloggers covering the convention from the floor include Roger L. Simon, Capt'n Ed Morrisey, Hugh Hewitt and Tim Blair. Also, NROs Rick Brookhiser and Kathryn Lopez are convention-blogging over at The Corner--they're in the thick of it and have already posted on their impressions of today's protest march:

KJL: "Looks like someone dumped out the most disenchanted, dissheveled youth out of the leftest-wing of college campuses, right out of bed this morning, hung over. Lots of crass plays on the president and vice presidents names. Lots of brilliance, like: "Some are less dumb for president." It had a real amateur-hour feel to it, at least in large spurts: lots of handmade signs and t-shirts. Lots of the likes of "Jersey City Peace Movements."

If you want even more, check-out RNCBloggers "an aggregation point for blog coverage of the RNC in New York" for ongoing coverage of 'credentialed' and non-credential convention bloggers.

As noted below, Blogs of War is keeping tabs on events outside the convention hall, and of course, Glenn Reynolds will bring his unique punditry to bear on the proceedings.

Update: Oops...forgot to add Blogs for Bush and Robert Cox's The National Debate. Incidentally, The National Debate is an absoulute conservative blog clearing-house. Last I checked, Robert had stopped by the CNN Diner and was talking his way into a studio tour! I keep forgetting about Mr. Cox but have belatedly remedied the situation--just placed him on the Prairie Fire blogroll under the MasterBlogger heading.

On the other side of the fence (way on the other side), NYC IndyMedia is is apparently fascilitating protesters by acting as a clearinghouse of information on police/protester interaction. Coincidentally, Drudge has reported that the Justice Department is investigating 'a liberal Internet site' for publishing the names and addresses of 2000 of the Republican Delagates on their website.

And don't forget to drop into the Democratic Underground Forum for a few laughs--they're crawling out of the woodwork.
