I've checked most the support posts here, upgraded to the 2600 version of the wp-blog-header.php (http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/wp-blog-header.php?rev=2600) and deleted and reinstalled several times. still, none of my feeds work:
http://www.libertarianconservative.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
http://www.libertarianconservative.com/blog/wp-rss.php
http://www.libertarianconservative.com/blog/wp-atom.php
Instead, I get this message: XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
Location: http://libertarianconservative.com/blog/wp-rss2.php
Line Number 1, Column 2: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Ayudame!
Something, perhaps a plugin, is adding a space before the xml declaration, which is invalidating the file as xml. I'd first suggest turning off what plugins you're running and see if this hits on the problem. Also look at any WP files you may have edited (such as wp-config.php) and make sure they begin with:
<?php
and end with:
?>
there being no extra spaces or lines before or after these tags.
I disabled all plugins and tried again.. no avail. (They're now reenabled.) Thanks for the help!
Good news: I got it. I went through an deleted white space from several plugins.. I wonder why it still didn't work when I turned them off? Anyways, thanks!

I have a solution that worked for me, primarily involving some single-quote to double-quote conversion in the file wp-rss2.php, for which I have posted the old/new file comparison here on my blog. I am cross-posting this to a total of 5 different threads here on the WordPress support forum, mainly out of a desire to help those whom I know must have also been going crazy with this or similar problems. Many thanks for sticking with it!
