Welcome to the hottest new website in conservatism!

Hello everybody! It's me, former Senator Lincoln Chafee here. After I lost my re-election, I realized that it was because a lot of you people don't really understand what conservatism is all about -- and it's not your fault that you don't get it.

After all, it's men like me who've actually been in government and had experience, who have a responsibility to teach everyone else about governing -- but we haven't lived up to our obligations. In the interim, hucksters like the former owner of this blog and Rush Limbaugh have stepped into the gap and filled your heads with lies about conservatism.

Well, that's going to change because as of today, Lincoln Chafee's Compassionate Conservatism blog is going to tell people the real story about what conservatism should be all about. Towards that end, I've recruited 5 of my former staffers as guest bloggers and have got guest posts coming up over the next few weeks from some of the hottest names in conservatism like,

* David Brooks will explain why the conservative dislike of the mainstream media is foolish.
* Chuck Hagel on American foreign policy.
* Anthony Kennedy on Constitutional law.
* Arlen Specter explaining why a living Constitution is what all conservatives should want.
* Arnold Schwarzenegger on growing in office.
* Christopher Shays explains why big governnment conservatism is the only real conservatism.
* Andrew Sullivan on gay marriage.
* Christie Todd Whitman on environmentalism.
* Richard Viguerie on why Republicans need to lose 4 or 5 more elections in a row.

Get ready everybody, this will be one of the most educational experiences of your life! -- Lincoln Chafee

Hey look, the first article is up about the blog. Today it's The Phoenix, tomorrow it's the greatest paper in the world, the New York Times!

"Linc Launches Blog Site
Following in a long, unsuccessful line that includes Bill Weld, Pete Wilson, and Christie Todd Whitman, Rhode Island's own ex-Senator Lincoln Chafee is trying to reclaim conservatism for the Republican Party's moderates. Good luck.
Linc is launching a new Web site from which to launch this effort, at a url he bought (for an unspecified but quite generous sum, according to a note left by the seller on the site) from an ultra-conservative blogger -- who Chafee sweetly refers to as a "huckster," one of the many like Rush Limbaugh who have "filled your heads with lies about conservatism."
Chafee, you might recall, nearly lost his primary last year because he is too moderate for the GOP, and then lost the general because the GOP is too conservative for Little Rhody.
This weekend, the site suddenly switched over, with the following welcome from the former Senator:
Hello everybody! It's me, former Senator Lincoln Chafee here. After I lost my re-election, I realized that it was because a lot of you people don't really understand what conservatism is all about -- and it's not your fault that you don't get it.
Chafee goes on to say that the site will define and promote true Compassionate Conservatism, with blogging by five of his staffers, and guest commentary from folks like David Brooks, Christopher Shays, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Andrew Sullivan, and Chuck Hagel. Whether anyone will be reading remains to be seen."

Why wouldn't they be reading? Lincoln Chafee is a former senator. Let me repeat that, a former senator. I used to work for Lincoln and I found him to be a fascinating guy! So the real question is, who wouldn't want to read what Lincoln has to say every day? -- Big Government Con

I've been told that a lot of bloggers like to show pictures of their pets. That didn't make a lot of sense to me (I'm still getting into the swing of the blogosphere), but when in Rome, you do as the Romans do. So, here's a portrait of my pure blooded French Poodle, Thaddeus P. Fluffington, that was done at one of the summer homes last year,

Now that's no common mutt! -- Lincoln Chafee

Hope you like the design! I did it myself! Bet you didn't know a senator could do web design, did you? -- Lincoln Chafee

Make sure to write your representative and tell them that we should back the Iranians who are holding the British troops who were in their territory. If we show the Iranians that we're friendly to them and will take their word over the British, they will realize we're their friends and our troubles with them will be over. -- Lincoln Chafee

I'd like to thank everyone for your loyal patronage of Right Wing News over the years. I've really enjoyed blogging for you and will still be blogging over at Conservative Grapevine. However, the new consulting gig has turned out to be very lucrative and has opened a lot of doors for me.

So, when Lincoln Chafee contacted me and offered to buy Right Wing News so he would have a built in audience for his new blog, I took it very seriously. Then, when I heard how much he was offering, well, all I can say is, you would have taken the money, too.

You may have noticed that I had guest bloggers for the first few days of last week. This deal is why I was off. I was up in Rhode Island, finalizing the deal. I know some of you may not be happy about this, but I'm sure you'll really enjoy Lincoln's blogging.

Best wishes!
