Take A Peek…..

…at Maverick Views a new sometimes-centrist blog.



Seriously. It’s written by political thinker and attorney Alan Stewart Carl who created the thoughtful The Yellow Line blog, but retired from it due to time constraints.



He warns that he may not post as frequently on this one, but he wants to get back into blogging with a fresh start and be less constrained by the term “centrist”:

As the tagline says, I’ll be aiming for somewhere near the center, but that doesn’t mean I won’t sometimes hit well left or well right. The point isn’t to espouse a consistent Centrist platform, but to avoid espousing the kinds of half-truths and outright untruths spouted mindlessly by so many along the entire political spectrum.



….Too many smart people just parrot what they hear from opinion leaders on “their side.â€? And too many opinion leaders, particularly in this blogosphere of ours, waste their intelligence in destructive attempts to mold reality rather than using their intelligence to uncover truth. I ain’t going to play that game. I’m not claiming some grand ability to uncover truth. I’m just promising not to mold reality for my own political ends.

We always respected anything Stewart wrote because — as he says above — he is what he says he is: he always thinks things through (and is unpredictable on his stances). Just as The Yellow Line was a class act, so is Maverick Views. If you’re looking for a weblog that’ll go after and demonize other bloggers, you won’t find it there. Stewart deals in serious issues and ideas.



Take A Peek at Maverick Views. We did and loved it so much we’re adding it under Center Voices so we can take a peek every day. You’ll want to, too….
