One of the finest web sites on the Internet is Cato.org in this bloggers not so humble opinion.
Add to that their blog Cato@Liberty blog and their Cato Unbound monthly essay series, few sites compare.
This months issue of Cato Unbound is An Appreciation of Partisanship and it's worth a read.
In his response to the lead essay, Brink Lindsey says:
The only way we can get better partisanship is for partisans to become,
in critical dimensions at least, more independent-minded. In
particular, the resolution of factual questions and the evaluation of
interest groups’ claims should be conducted, as far as possible,
independent of one’s political identity. Until that happy day arrives,
we need more antipartisans — not weightless, atomized independents, but
informed, engaged intellectuals and opinion leaders who are willing to
proclaim that both houses are pox-ridden.
