The Imaginative Conservative is another online journal I really appreciate. Theirs is the type of conservatism that extols Hillaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton, classical education, Tolkien and Lewis, etc. Their content hearkens back to historical understanding and eschews the blow/counter-blow style of political journalism of the moment. You'll get a sampling conservative philosophy through the ages (Edmund Burke and such) as well as appreciations of great artists, writers, and thinkers of the past.
This emphasis put them profoundly at odds with much of prevailing culture, which is more and more being shaped by momentary preoccupations. You get the impression that their writers sit in book-lined studies, reading old books and perhaps even smoking pipes.
You get the feeling they'd never get caught up in a Ludic Loop!
