The Matt Walsh Blog

Have you ever heard about or read the Matt Walsh blog?  If not, I would recommend you check it out.  I have been checking it about once a week and reading what his latest posts have been.  Many people hate the blog, believing that Matt Walsh is a hater, and other names I won't repeat here.  Needless to say, this guy can be quite controversial.

Some recent posts have been about the Ray Rice saga, (see ESPN or any other sports network for details) spanking as a discipline for children, and gay rights are a few of his more popular posts.  I think that Matt is a voice of reason in a world that often does not have any.  I do have a few suggestions on how he could do better.

I agree with a lot of what he has written, and have found only minor things I do not agree with.  While I agree with his ideas, I disagree with the style in which it is written. The first thing that bothers me about his writing is that he often will speak harshly of those who disagree with him.  He portrays his ideological opposites as intolerant fools who have no understanding of truth.  I think this way of writing is not very effective.  All he does is create opportunities for those who have differing opinions to do the same to him.  I think he needs to tone his writing style down a bit.

Another part of his posts that I do not like is that he will often post emails that people have sent him, and attack them.  Granted, from the emails he responds to on his blog, most of them seem to be attacking him and his opinions.  But I do not think it is a kind thing to descend to their level.  Instead of attacking those who attack him, just lay out your opinion in a manner that uses common sense and your beliefs.  Again, I believe Matt needs to tone his writing style down in order to make more of a difference in the world.  It is hard not to hate or attack those who attack you, but sometimes you need to be the better man.

He has been going on a few speaking trips, and I think that this is a fantastic way to bring positive change to the world.  I think if he were to record these speeches so that those who do not live near where he speaks can still see them.  I know I would watch his videos.

All in all, I believe Matt Walsh is a good guy who is trying to influence the world for good while it still can. There is a lot of bad and evil media, but the Matt Walsh Blog is one source I would trust.
