but be forewarned: You'll hear a LOT of argument here if you base your points of view on glenn beck and mark levin; in fact, you may be asked to leave. This IS DEMOCRATIC Underground.

In my opinion, 'conservative' and 'small government minded' should NOT predispose ANYONE to listen to the two people you mentioned. You could do MUCH better.

As to education matters, I HOPE that many can agree on basic principles such as those discussed by Carol Burris. I am not at all confident that will occur.
